GAEL CLICHY blasted former team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor, saying: You only left us for the money.
Adebayor claimed abusive Arsenal fans forced him into a £25million move to Manchester City.
But Clichy reckons the switch was all about the hitman almost doubling his pay packet to £150,000 a week.
He said: "I really believe if you are a player who thinks only about money then you could end up at Manchester City.
"You have to think if you want to play for a big club and have your image or if you want to play for a good club and earn big money.
"When you ask someone to move for something like £300,000 a week it is just crazy."
Defender Clichy also scoffed at Adebayor's warning that City are set to nick Arsenal's Champions League spot.
Eastlands boss Mark Hughes has spent £80m this summer in a bid to gatecrash the Big Four.
Clichy declared: "I've been here six years and this is not the first summer where a club have spent big money to get big players.
"But it does not always mean a team will do well.
"Sometimes when you have players coming in like this it can take six to seven months for them to adjust."
My thoughts on adefuckwit is the same as clichys the crunt moved to city for money. even if we where a club ONLY competing for fourth place we would not be challenging it with city.. And he had the cheek to have a go at cesc by saying the fans made me go due to the booing. Its not my fault that big clubs want to sign me says ade. look at cesc big clubs want to sign him and the fans dont boo him. listen to me you lanky drip off piss. you are the only player at arsenal to belive their own hype. cesc could off been linked with yeovil at 6,000,000,000 a week and until the deal was signed he would put eveything in his body in to game. no my friend you are a lazy bastard and an unwanted one. i love all things arsenal except things that dont want to be arsenal related. you are not and never where a gunner i think because you scored 30 goals the season before last you thought you where TH14 reincarnated. BUT you are not you scored 30 goals 24 in the league but 6 off them where against derby. wenger could score 6 against derby.
i cheered at the last emirates cup when you scored that pen. and then you had the cheek to kiss the badge.
city are welcome to you my friend. good bye and goon ridence
rather refreshing to see a footballer tell it as it is!!!it was f**king obvious the c**t left for the money.When a player has 1 good season and starts touting himself then it was time to sell and wenger should have got rid of him then but he's gone now GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE and shitty are welcome to him.
Clichy,your a star mate,tells it as it is and i'm glad to see that.
I like clichy and he is of course 100% spot on but right now I am just thankful that citeeh have all that cash or we would have been stuck with the *word censored* for years

I wonder how unpopular he was with the team? When playing the Turks in that UEFA Cup final in Denmark we made a little detour on the way to the ground to pass by the team hotel. Marc Overmars emerged and headed for the bus but NO ONE followed. He sat there, on his own, for at least five minutes.
I can understand when a player leaves to win trophies but what i can't stand is someone like greedywhore who lies and confuses greed with ambition.We are lucky that we had only 1 greedy,self-serving,egotistic,average scum player and now he's gone but if wenger doesn't start turning it around players like clichy,cesc and such will leave for ambition not greed!!!this is what i'm afraid of
Ok, I changed my mind. Never mind that he's the worst crosser of the ball since Freddie and that he's about as likely to score or even create a goal as am from the stands or infront of the telly. Give him another season before we hand his place to Gibbs

Not going to happen. Clichy is clearly one of the best LB in the world and his absence made it easy for Lady boy and co. to rip us a new one.
Gibbs will make it in due time.

are you serious
I think he was spot on to say so. Why should that *word censored* get away with shitting on his team mates for a whole season and then gobbing off after he's gone. Clichy has gone up in my estimation.
