Maybe not high profile enough for them in all honesty. Plus they maybe though Clichy would've been the easier option - instead of fighting it out with both Liverpool and Arsenal for Jose. If he leaves, it'll probably be to the Arse - Champs league and all that.
TBH, Clichy is hardly a big name, he just played for a big(ish) club. Jose is a better player, but I'm glad he didn't go to Citeh, he probably would be back-up behind Kolarov.
Oh aye yeah I'm not saying that Clichy is a bigger/better player than Jose, but I just think City would see him that way with him being an Arsenal player - they probably see it as taking a top player from one of their closest rivals.
I think they'd have been better off signing Gibbs - a young, excitin talent and would count as a home-grown player.
Yeah Gibbs is a player I definitely rate - would definitely like him here. Wouldn't happen like Doubt Arsenal would be too keen to let him go.
Especially now Clichy has gone, he might become first-choice there. He's a future England LB, thats for sure.
Hopefully he could become first choice - and they cool their interest in Jose. Then Jose chooses to stay Woooo. Ha. Reckon Wenger would opt for a bit more experience though - think he'd get a lot of stick if he chose to go with Gibbs as starting LB?
Gibbs was a trending topic on twitter and the majority of tweets were Arsenal fans worrying that they were going to have to rely on him next season - saying he's the blame for cup games such as Leeds
I think they might go for an older LB, because even if Enrique joins they'd still want Gibbs to be a starter eventually. Would be a waste to see Jose on the bench after 2 or 3 years.
Mini rep orgy going on on the Liverpool board. Thought I'd let you know seeing as you're all such rep whores
I dont have to take this, they love me over there! None of them have more than 2 rep power, I'm like a god. Please dont let AB/GRB steal my spotlight!
Fantastic. All I need now is a spade to dig a hole, a grass coloured sheet to cover it, and something shiny to attract AB/GRB - NWPJ's crown, maybe? You'll soon be on 8 rep power anyway, only 160 posts or so away!
I am getting close, missed my last 3 1000 posts so I'll have to remember this time. Oh the pressure, eh?
Haha, I missed my 3000th, possibly 2000th I can't remember. I was under lots of pressure for mine I'm sure you'll do well though! Would have missed mine if you hadn't reminded me, I'll make sure you DEFINITELY don't miss yours
Yeah, thread that mentioned it in was pretty quiet I think until Smudger told me I was close and everyone suddenly popped up going "Oooooh pressure AH!!"
