This lad is too similar to our own Angelino anyway imo. If a player does as well as Angelino has done, he deserves a bit of faith to at least give him a chance of making it. If we signed Gaya, I'm not sure we could use both of them at the club. We would want something different as an alternative I imagine. That would mean one has to go.
I think a combo of Clichy and Gaya for a couple of seasons would be good - he is more attacking than Clichy and can learn a lot in his time with us. I'd loan Angelino out to make a name for himself with a view to using him as Clichy's replacement. Having said that I think Rodriguez from Wolfsberg would be a great signing and a direct replacement for Kolarov.
The point for me is that if you had Gaya, then I'm not sure you would want Angelino as Clchy's replacement. I don't think you would want two little tiny fullbacks with very similar pros & cons in their game. You would want a different option.
It would make more sense to sign a differerent replacement for Kolarov, then bring though Angelino, who may turn out to be better than Gaya anyway.
