Marquee Watch: Arsenal sent Cech a signal of in tent
Marquee Watch: a look at newspapers referring to a footballer as a “marquee”. Today Arsenal’s Petr Cech is one.
Arsenal had to beat Olympiakos – Wenger had described the tie as must-win – and it made no sense to overlook Cech, his No1 goalkeeper and the one marquee signing that the club had made last summer to make the difference.
Cech is the only signing Arsenal made over the summer.
The low-water mark for this Marquee Balls is in the Derby Telegraph, which told its readers:
Premier League champions Chelsea take on Arsenal in the day’s marquee game
