City to sign gael for 7 million

It seems I just can't win with you guys, can I? Anyway, point taken and from know on I will not close or move any thread nor delete any post - regardless of how inappropriate or whether it's a duplicate.

Feel free to write what you want, when you want and how ever often you want and when the forum goes downhill or gets closed down, well you can worry about where to go to next for your 'entertainment' then, I suppose!! :roll: :roll: :banghead:

(And yes, there is a delicious and deliberate irony in me posting the same thing in two different threads!!)

Couldn't care less about Clichy to be honest... same as Cesc or Nasri.. My love of Arsenal has dropped from feeling sick after everytime they lose to now wanting the worst for them in everything and become a laughing stock so something has to get done.... The only players i really don't want to see go are RVP, Schezz, Jack and TV5... the rest can all go fu&k themselves to be honest.... I can't even bare to think of celebrating a Nasri, cesc goal next year and looking around at everyone else doing the sames knowing they don't give a shiny shite about the club i love

Says in the paper this morning that he is having a medical today with Citeh and the deal will be announced after.

I won't be losing any sleep over this one.

With Denilshit and Bender half ways out the door that only leaves So-Shit-Ski to get rid of and I'll be happy.

Hope so, first of the clear out. Give Gibbs a chance.

yeah, give gibbs a chance to injure his fingernails on the second match of the season :roll:

we need someone who can defend consistently and play the whole season, like winterburn did. if it's a guy who can contribute up front, better even, but that's a plus.

i'm fed up with injury-prone youngsters who may become good players one day.

Knowing Wenger he'll probably play Eboue in his place !!
Don't even joke about that, I remember him being put in centre midfield against Fulham away a few years back

Sad to see Clichy go in one sense because he was an Invincible and always gave a proper effort for us, ran his socks off and brave in the tackle.

But no denying he has been in inconsistent form since 2008, especially in his positioning.

I think Gibbs has promise, but agree with BG that Gibbs cannot be relied on to replace Clichy, he gets too many injuries.

So long Clishit. I'm going to enjoy your brain farts in a Citeh shirt.

Gibbs a poor man's Clichy, doing a very good impression of van Persie.

If Wenger was capable of teaching defenders to actually defend, I wouldn't worry so much.

I've never seen Gibbs have a good game! He has the positional awareness of a 10 year old! HE's terrilbe! If he is our starting left back next season then it's all over before it has even begun!

Anyone who wants a reminder of how utterly useless he is then re-watch United spanking us in the FA CUP last year (i'd so so from behind the sofa if i was you because it is going to be pretty frightening)

I admit that on the last couple of season's form Clichy's departure isn't one that many gooners will mourn.
Then I got to thinking, Clichy looked a real prospect when he broke into the team and many of us believed he was better than Cole.
Now with his move to city all but done, should we be worried that Clichy's loss of form and regression were as much to do with Wenger's inability to coach a defence as any shortcomings on Clichy's part?
Is it possible that with a move to City and some proper coaching, Clichy will get his career back on track and become one of the best left backs in the league?
I personally think it is indeed possible, it would be another damning testimony to Wenger's management.
