Clichy has consistently been playing in CL & on the International scene for the past 3 to 4 seasons, admittedly he's gone off the boil the past few seasons but to suggest Enrique is far better than him is laughable.
Enrique only emerged last season, he wasn't even that highly rated in Spain prior to his move to Newcastle.
One-season wonders - or perhaps more accurately - one-month wonders seem to be in vogue.

Clichy has been consistently shit whilst playing in the CL and international level. So much so that when Evra was banned after the World Cup, it wasn't Clichy who took his place.
Jose Enrique has been consistent since he joined Newcastle. Couldn't care less how he did before that in Spain. Remember that's a country where if you aren't a Barca player then you're regarded as shite with the bias they have towards the barcunts but that's another topic for another time.
All we need to know is Enrique is better than Clichy and is a must get
Not seen much of Enrique tbh but as much as I like Clichy, I don't think it would take a great deal to replace him. I don't think full back is a particularly influential role to play, unless you're someone like Alves. Someone defensively adequate is good enough IMO.
I'd prefer to keep Clichy but just like Nasri, if he's not interested then it's time to say goodbye.
Fuxake. Gibbs is better than clichy. And will only get better. Just needs to be taught, and he'll be fine.
Nigel winterburn was awful, but he did what GG told him to do.
Point is, it's about the organisation and coaching of the defence, Clichy hasn't learnt a thing in 6 years. Gibbs is already better position wise.

Dunno bruv, Gibbs hasn't looked that great IMO, granted his career has been stop-start with injury but I don't understand why he's been elevated to this status of being ready now. Clichy's form over the past few years isn't much of a measuring stick lets be honest if that's what we're using.
I don't think Gibbs has played enough consistently to really show what he can do.
If we lose Clichy we must replace him properly and not just bank on someone from project youth coming good.
Nah, I just think as Gooners we often see greener grass because we fuck up so many times, when in actual fact, pound for pound, we've got just as good already in place.
Clichy, were it not ofr his inability to concentrate. Is as good as evra....easily. But evra is diciplined.
Gibbs tracks players, shows them inside, and is more useful going forward. He doesn't have the same instinct for cutting the ball out as clichy does, but that is all the good clichy does...anticipation.
We don't need new blood who'll likely as not be replaced by more of the same. We need a defensive coach.
If GG could get a spastic lile winterburn to stay in shape, you could get a fluid good footballer in Gibbs to do the same. Nigel was only 22 when he came to the club.
