Dismiss clichy at your peril..... AK has been a revelation, understandably due to the balance given by Sterling, however, Gael, IMO, will outshine AK this year with that same cover...
Clichy has never been a full back for us who gets forward and gets crosses into the box though.
His engine is twice that of AK, a security blanket of sterling could be, at the least, as effective as AK.... This notion of putting in crosses won't have any consequence, it's a tighter attacking philosophy, which takes place inside the 18 yard box, clichy also has the advantage of being both footed..... I'd expect him to score 5/6 this year, the best of his career!!!
I think that two-footed thing is a load of rubbish tbh exaggerated a bit by some media reports. He may have started right-footed when he was younger but he certainly isn't now! He looked so uncomfortable passing with his right in that one game he played at RB for us. It's just a nice little story, but it doesnt seem particularly evident. I like Clichy, but im not convinced he'll ever offer us much going forward. If Kolarov keeps this up, its a no brainer.
? He's definitely right footed, if anything it's his left that's weak.
With Clichy out for 7 weeks and Zab out for another month...maybe this position is back on the shopping list?
Agreed. We don't need to buy. Kolarovs form improved with. 6 games on the trot last season before Sterling arrived.Well mangala can play left back if need be ot otamendi can play right back and sagna left back so we do still have options
Start now so we can have him for the 2017/2018 season.Don't need a LB this season but all fullbacks over 30 next season so both will need replacements coming in sooner rather than later. Ricardo Rodriguez is a good player and a good age, Wolfsburg seem really accommodating to us buying their players too so it would be sorted in a jiffy..
Get Jordi Alba next year, stick half a stone of weight on him and he would handle it over here, class up and down fullback.
Pains me to see Kolarov doing so well cos I can't stand the bloke, but if it's good for the team then so be it. I'd love Clichy to hit form and get back in that team, he reads the game so well defensively.
I cant stand him either but him playing well certainly doesn't pain me.Pains me to see Kolarov doing so well cos I can't stand the bloke, but if it's good for the team then so be it. I'd love Clichy to hit form and get back in that team, he reads the game so well defensively.
Why the hell would it pain you to see a city player doing well!? Christ, some blues will literally moan about anything

Fucking weird, it pains you to see Aleks doing well? Fucking hellGet Jordi Alba next year, stick half a stone of weight on him and he would handle it over here, class up and down fullback.

Suppose you lads didn't see him offering Blues out in front of the south stand, last day of the 12/13 season on the lap of honour.
He was woeful that year and some people let him know about it. In my opinion, doing a cutthroat gesture to your own paying fans no matter what they say to you, is bang out of order.
