Myabe we are going to bid for him, offer him £150k/week and when he accepts tell him to piss off and keep his mouth shut in the future - ;-)

Didn't he slate Ade for joining us? Why would he want to come here after that? I know he retracted only because the paper mentioned Ade's name, but he stood by what he said.

I "think" he also retracted his statement...something along the lines that he was misquoted or misinterpreted

 

[mike24]

yeah he was quoted as saying he felt really bad about what he said....maybe he knew we were in for him hahaha

Has to be said buying a top 4 team's a pretty novel way of becoming one. :)

Was more meaning to replace Arsenal in the Top 4 we seem to be pretty much buying all there best players and leaving the dross, obviously assuming there's truth in this rumour.
FWIW Clichy's a good player imo, not sure if he's that much better than Bridge that i'd get him as a replacement though.

Regardless of what he meant to say, I think the chance of him coming here is remote given his admittied stance on transfers. He didn't want Ade's name mentioned in the article, but he was being critical of big money moves which would surely be what a move to City would be categorized.

Clichy - I didn't say Ade moved for the money
By Richard Clarke

Gael Clichy has denied saying that Emmanuel Adebayor left Arsenal purely for financial reasons.

Over the weekend, the English media carried stories suggesting the left back had accused his former team-mate of moving for the money.

Speaking to Arsenal.com at the Club’s training camp in Austria, Clichy, 24 on Sunday, flatly denied he was directly referring to Adebayor.

“I felt really bad about this,” said the Frenchman. “I am not a player who would talk like this; say a name and talk this way about a friend. I asked the newspaper not to mention any names and unfortunately they did.

“If you read the article you will see that I am not saying any names – Ade or anyone else. That is not the way to do it. If I need to say something I will go out and say it myself.

“Saying big names in a big article like this when I did not say anything, I think it is wrong. I just wanted to clarify this.

“Only Ade knows why he went and we have to live with this. He was a good player for us but now he is gone and I don’t want to talk about him anymore.

"But good luck to him and I will see him on the pitch later this season.”
