Clichy to Man City Madness!!!

Apparently Clichy has turned down offers from PSG, Roma and Liverpool to sign for Man City.

This for me is baffling, I actually rate Kolarov more than I do Clichy, pretty bemused they'd go in for him to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, Clichy is a decent player (at best) and I'll be sad to see him go on a personal front (being at Arsenal for so long), but professionally he's lost his edge over the past 2 seasons. His concentration levels are no way near what they should be...

plus in Gibb I think you have a player with the ability to be far better than Clichy.

gibbs is even worse.

Although clichy can't cross, and gets nervous when when under pressure and loses concentration from time to time.

He is still a good reliable left back and deserves a new contract on at least 55k a week.

I thought Sagan has the got the right point. What amazes me someone other than Arsenal fan advises us to play Gibbs in place of Clichy. how funny is that?

And his move kind of made a statement that they were bigger than us
-----------------------
no it made the statement no player is bigger than the club especially not Ashley Cole
===============================================
That's a stupid statement. He reached out to Chelsea when the club gave him a salary offer just 5,000 / week lower than what he asked, then went ahead and sued us when we fined him for the illegal approach. Then he was sold to Chelsea for 5M plus Gallas who had just one year left on his contract. So we got a raw deal in terms of money. We got a good player in Gallas no doubt. But Cole's move showed that the big two were not United and Arsenal anymore but Chelsea had barged in.

Is Gibbs really that bad?

I always thought he looked to have great potential, made mistakes but he's still young. A player like him just needs games and experience. I'm not saying he's as good as the Da Silva twins but they also made a lot of mistakes but have improved so much in the past 2 years.

no, he's just majorly injury prone.

What many didn't notice was that at the start of last season he was getting picked ahead of clichy, when fit. the trouble was that 'when fit' bit.... he is quite possibly more injury prone that RvP. we can only hope he grows out of that.
