Im most excited about this signing than any other we make if we get him, will make a nice change having a fullback with real pace!
Clichy is pretty quick

What I like him the most is the he likes to leave the wide area to come inside and make deep runs from midfield (that's where the space is).
It's kind of an unappreciated, confident thing to do because it really leaves the opposing players guessing and gives them something different to think about. Not to mention, done effectively, it's a deadly way to open up space for others and create mismatches.
It's a big pep thing that, he doesn't like having wide fullbacks and wingers at the same time.
So when the wingers are maintaining width, the fullbacks play narrow in midfield.
When the wingers come inside looking for goals, then the fullbacks go wide.
He draws special pitch markings on the training pitches dividing it up vertically so that the wingers and fullbacks are never in the same channel.
Lol.This will be news to Navas and Sagna. They like to occupy the same blade of grass whenever possible.
