Cedric signed 4 year contract with Arsenal!!! 23:36 - Jun 23 with 3070 viewsButty101

Didn’t see that coming, they clearly don’t have high ambitions next season.
I assume he can’t play us.

Good luck to the bloke; honest pro who served us well and scored at Fratton which i won't forget in a hurry. Sadly some of our fanbase are never happy.

Ready and waiting to mop up those European places......

He was a free agent, but the deal was reportably worth £5 million to us accounting for the loan fee they paid and the wages we saved, so given that he was injured when he left and hasnt played for Arsenal yet, good business.

Probably Arsenal have signed him because he is available on a free, it will plug a gap short term and in a years time he will still have a decent sell on value so they can recuperate most of the money they have spent back.

I dont think this is so much of a football decision for them but a financial investment

Him bursting down the left wing to score late on at Wigan in the quarter final is one of my favourite goals/celebrations.

Yes, good luck to him. I hope he does well there. He helped us achieve a top 6 finish and European qualification in 2016, top 8, League Cup Final and Europe again in 2017 and an FA Cup semi-final in 2018.

Obviously, Fonte, his defensive partner for Portugal, leaving was a blow but, the Cedric, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand back 4 was still our best in recent seasons and we got some good results with it earlier this season like the 2-0 win at Chelsea, the 1-0 win v Spurs and the 2-1 win at Leicester.

He wasn't quite as good as Clyne at his peak, largely because his lack of height made him vulnerable to high crosses but he was the best right wing-back we've had in the last few years.

138 games for Saints and 33 caps for Portugal in the time he was with us are an indication of just how much he has contributed.

Our defensive record with him in the team this season is certainly a hell of a lot better than our record without him.

We only conceded 19 goals in the 22 games he played for us this season and won 11 of them! Whereas in the 17 games he didn't play, we conceded 39 goals and only won 3 of them, including our latest win at Norwich. That's a massive difference of less than a goal a game conceded with him compared to more than 2 goals per game without him, which shows just how important he was for us.

Technically he is still our player until the end of June, so I very much doubt that his loan agreement would allow him to face his parent club (Us) tomorrow night.

Fair play to him for getting a 4 year deal at Arsenal, although they seem to have thrown big deals around a lot already this summer.

As others have said already, his goal away to Pompey was great and certainly well celebrated and the one at the death away to Wigan secured the win and made the journey up there through all the snow, all the more worthwhile.

I always thought he had a lot of unfair criticism as a Saints player. Often getting the blame for goals conceded at the far post, probably due to his height more than his positioning. More often than not though, the real reason we conceded was down to the 2 or sometimes 3 Centre Back's failure to deal with the cross in the first place.

Good luck and do well, apart from when you play us, obviously !!

Most Saints players seem to get a lot of unfair criticism at some point Tim! I bet a search of this site would reveal Ings being slagged for not doing enough during his loan period or warrant a £20m transfer.

As for Cedric, good luck to him, although I’m surprised that he’s got such a long deal at Arsenal. He Was never in the Jones/Schnedierdlin/Wanyama/Lallana sulky, want-away camp so I hope he enjoys the rest of his career (unless he’s playing saints of course!).

I thought Cedric did a decent job and i wish him well, however i did have a slight laugh at the bit about helping us to 6th place in 2016, after we lost at Bournemouth on 1st March that season he would play only 2 further games in the remaining 10 being an unused sub in the other 8, Koeman preferring Coco Martina

On a more serious note, we'd have been relegated without him this season as most of our points were gained when he played.

That's amazing!


What's even more amazing is that we kept clean sheets in 6 of the last 7 games before that Bournemouth game. After it, we went 7 games without another one. I think it was his brother, Erwin, who recommended that we buy Martina and wasn't he also the first player Koeman bought after he became manager at Everton? He's still on Everton's books as they gave him a good deal there. The Koemans certainly saw something in him.

Only 6 players played more games for Saints than Cedric in the 2015/16 season, Nick, so you can laugh at that if you want but most sensible fans would agree that he made an important contribution to that season..

Think The Arsenal have given up on ever trying to qualify for the Champions League with these two signings.
Luiz used to be decent, but now's just a libility.
If they think Cedric's good enough to take them where they want to be, they've set the bar pretty low.

They've managed to win 9 from 30 this season (2 less than us), and Aubameyang is the only decent player they've got.
Doubt if he'll hang around next season.

His record this season of playing in winning teams that concede very few goals continues at Arsenal.

In the Premier League games Cedric has played this season, his teams have averaged 1.83 points per game, which would give a total of 70 points from 38 games. That's Champions League form.

Arsenal fans are beginning to realize how good he is:

Thought he had a great game, in the first half thought they tried to get Traore down his side and he dealt with it brilliantly. In the second half Wolves pretty much gave up going down his side and Traore focused on our left instead.

He’d gone stale with us and needed a new club. We’ve seen it so many times before when players we sign were average and come good or conversely players who were poor with us suddenly up their form when they move. Whether Cedric’s good form will last will be the test, not that I’m that fussed though. At very least if it goes wrong at Arsenal he’ll get a payday in China or the US.

Well yes stale. Maybe not though stats wise, but he had been unhappy for a while and was desperate to make his move to Inter permanent. Clearly he wasn’t keen to be here and wanted to move.
