Get him out, get Luke shaw in. We need a bit of English blood in the side.

Luke shaw, a center back and a center mid should do us this summer. We should defintley go for shaw and get rid of clichy.

We need a new right back too - need some cover for Zabba.
 
been saying it past few months, he has been very poor.

Him along with Lescott need to be shown the door. There are few players already feeling comfortable and lost the desire.

Yeah shame about Richards leaving he's been a servant to this club, but with the persisting injury problems, maybe it's not the worst thing in the world that he's not accepted the contract offered. Watch him go to Liverpool and smash it now though haha. Anyway, that Clyne at Southampton looks a player, and would help towards the English quota.
That fernando looks like a done deal along with mangala, so that's the CB and midfielder ticked off. That fernando looks like real tough tackler, loves to track the ball down from what I've seen, in the de Jong mold.

And also, is it just me or has Zabba looked a bit slower this season? A little bit off the pace? Maybe it's just because he's played nearly every game due to micahs injuries.

The last few games especially he's been looking tired - for the reasons you state. He's played 90 minutes of virtually every game whereas Clichy and Kolarov have shared the workload.

Yeah I wasn't sure whether is was because he's ageing or because he's played so much, I'm sure you're right though, and hopefully next season he'll be sharing the work load and he can get back to his best.
 
Bit Surprised no one is talking about clichy missing out on WC squad....Felt he did well for us this season
 
I'm not sure what are the other options for France bar Evra, and one could argue that Evra was not that better but I guess his attacking part decided.

Clichy is not, and never was anything special. Sometimes pretty good in defence, sometimes not so, useless in attack. Did his job in last few seasons, and was pretty good in 2012. at the back, so should be considered as legend as should all those that won all trophies in last three seasons but I wouldn't mind to see him replaced by some more creative option.

I agree. I always feel more confident with him in the side than Kolarov.
