I only posted one link. You should be able to see it now. I'd made it so guests couldn't see the Arsenal Debate section of the old board by accident :doh:

Secondly, I've passed no comment on the value of the transfer, I've just pointed out that some felt he was crap and £7m is good business and others think otherwise an feel we have strengthened a rival on the cheap.

Fair enough. I'm not sure it's great business but I'm not bothered about Clichy going. He's very prone to stupid mistakes (often in otherwise good performances, strangely). I don't think him being there strengthens them.

I think Clichy has the raw talent - we all saw that, but he never progressed as he should because of how he was (or wasn't_) coached. I think he could be a much better player for City than he was for us. Time will tell.

For the record, I reckon Theo would have been a much better player today had he been with someone like Chelsea.

Wenger one week ago:

“We have started talks with Gael and want him to stay,” said Wenger.

So you think we just got lucky with players like Vieira and Cesc who became world class under Wenger and his coaching staff?
IMO injuries have held Theo back more than any problem at Arsenal.
As for Clichy, he's frustrating because he's basically a decent player IMO but he is prone to baffling lapses which cost us goals.

Sure, the guy who holds on to cr*p like Denilson and Almunia for years tells a first teamer he's not wanted.
