I still don't understand how he just fell over in the build up to Jenas' goal. (or was it Lennons?).
Fucking bambi on ice.

Wenger says and i quote
Thats from Sky Sports website today."We have started talks with Gael and want him to stay,"
Id have thought they'd have started talks earlier than this. More inept management?
He doesn't say they were started today.
Probably less to do with inept management and more to do with not wanting to talk business over the phone to the Bahamas or wherever the fuck Clichy goes on holiday.
We all know Wenger has lost it but Clichy sums up how much he's lost it. Clichy has been utter gash for 3 seasons. He aint gonna get better, only worse. The guy is dog shit and we should sell him in a flash.
I suppose some gooners are worried that Wenger won't replace him and instead will rely on glass bones Gibbs. That's probably true but it doesn't hide the fact that Clichy is shit and shouldn't be anywhere near our fist team.
Yeah but in wengers mind its how he can save money by not having to buy a new LB, because once Clichy goes the LBs behind him are not up to standard. Which means AW will have to splash out on another area and we can't have more money being spent can we.Originally Posted by Grebbo
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Well there's the money aspect but knowing Arsene if we sold Clichy he would probably come out with something like this.
"Look we have Gibbs, Traore, Pedro Botelho, Eboue can play there, Vermaelen can play there too, where do I put all these players?"
to be honest the LB situation needs to be addressed almost as much as the CB issue
Clichy can't defend for shit and the only thing he has going for him is his speed and the ability to beat a lot in a foot race.......but considering that the foot race is a product of him either
1) making a balls up
2) being out of position
that does not really count for much.
we could end up with a bit of money to splash around if gossip is to be believed and if the noises about Cahill AND Samba become true we could have the foundings of solid defence.
then we should look to the left
1) buy in someone (but will need to do this sooner rather than later, as 3 new defenders will have to be given time to gel
2) Verms moves out to the left (this is not a bad thing, Gibbs stays as back up and Jenkinson gets thrown into the squad maybe earlier than some anticipated)
Yeah, I'd rather he was replaced now. He is handy to our style of play, given how quick he is and the number of interceptions he makes but he always gets targeted (not really his fault, although if he didn't make silly errors it might alleviate some of it, then again perceptions are quick to form and slow to change) and having someone who has either, more of an end product going forward to force wingers and full-backs to defend instead of pressuring our LB, or is simply more defensively sound.
I quite like the idea of Verms at LB, especially against the bombardier teams, if we had Sagna/Samba/Djourou/Vermaelen as a defence they'd probably have to get the ball down on the floor more, wouldn't surprise me if we see that next season regardless of where Clichy is.
