Petr Cech hints at Chelsea exit if substitute role continues

Petr Cech has said he would look for a solution to his plight if he continues to be a substitute at Chelsea.

Cech, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2004, has not started a Premier League game this season having fallen behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order after the Belgium goalkeeper returned from a loan spell at Atlético Madrid.

“I have not spoken to anyone, but I think they know me well enough at the club to know that the situation is definitely not the way I would imagine,” the goalkeeper told Czech radio while on international duty.

“With the Euros (in 2016) and the national team in mind, there is no time for me to sit on the bench and not to play. If the situation will not start to improve for me, then I will want to solve it.“

Cech, who is set to start for the Czech Republic against Turkey in a European Championship qualifier on Friday, featured in his only league game this season when he replaced the injured Courtois in the first half against Arsenal on Sunday.

not as good as he was before the head injury but still better then wht we have

His agent has apparently offered him to LFC amongst other clubs according to reports from the Czech Republic.

not sure we would pay his wages

It'd be worth it. Top top keeper.

Not sure what his wage demands would be and he is looking for playing time which he would surely get with us.

I'd just like to say, I've really enjoyed my last 20 or so posts - seeing those post counts as years has really bought some memories back... I'll make an effort to not post so often (you're welcome) so I can hang on to these numbers...

what the hell you on?

A former Liverpool player faces a lengthy jail sentence after living a champagne lifestyle by impersonating Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta.

Medi Abalimba audaciously masqueraded as Chelsea star Kakuta, lying and cheating his way to £140,000 worth of goods by tricking shop owners, hotel staff, nightclub owners and chauffeurs.

According to a report in the Liverpool Echo, the Reds reject used a fake American Express card to bluff his way into living a champagne lifestyle after his career stalled.

The Congo-born midfielder was on the books at Crystal Palace and Fulham before joining Southend United, where he was paid a whopping £1,000-per-week despite being just 16 years old.

Abalimba spent time with both Manchester United and Manchester City on trial before joining Liverpool whilst Rafa Benitez was in charge at Anfield.

Abalimba was tipped to break through into the Liverpool first team, but, after a disappointing spell in the Reds reserve side, his career tailed off and he joined Derby County in 2009.

However, the 25-year-old’s love of living the high life didn’t diminish and, as of this year, could be seen enjoying VIP treatment at hotels, five-star breaks and running up extortionate bills at swanky restaurants and bars before exiting WITHOUT paying.

He was finally arrested after attempting to buy over £20,000 worth of clothing from Selfridges and now faces a lengthy jail term on charges of credit card [oops], making off without payment, taking without consent, driving without insurance and without a licence.

According to the report, Abalimba’s offences relate to approximately £53,000 of goods, whilst he has asked for other charges – totalling around £88,000 – to be taken into consideration.

Southwark Crown Court heard that the failed footballer was trying to impress friends in a Soho burlesque club, getting into a “buying competition” with other residents of the establishment despite already being subject to a suspended sentence after clocking a £26,000 bar tab in a West End club and then leaving without paying.

Judge Robert Atherton said Abalimba, whose last legitimate pay cheque was £300-per-week at Farnborough United, was “inevitably going to attract a substantial prison sentence”.

Good smoke was it?
