The rumors certain has circulating around nowabout the possible departure of Gael Clichy to AC Milan. This sure has give a lot a gooners a thing to concern about. Should we worry to much?
For me, I wouldn't worry a lot about the possible departure of Clichy. Arsene will sure made a right decision whether to sell or keep Clichy. The possible replacement surely be Kieran Gibbs. For all this while during Arsene reign, Arsenal always have a good leftback both the regular or the cover.
When we have Winterburn as 1st choice, we have Sylvinho. Then Winterburn are released, we have Sylvinho & Ashley Cole. Then Sylvinho released, we have Cole & Clichy. After Cole released, we only have Clichy at first until we have to use Flamini as cover for the leftback. Now we have Gibbs. Will Arsene will be tempted to let go Clichy and put Gibbs as the 1st choice?
Clichy have serve Arsenal well. But he sure cost Arsenal a lot too. Remember the game against Birmingham (where Eduardo broke his leg), Arsenal are leading by 2-1. Then a second of lapse from Clichy leave the ball past him and reach to birmingham player at the box. In order to regain the ball he foul and conceed the penalty which cost us the game and the title that year. That only 1 costly mistake. There also a few which I can't remember as it not that costly in that game unlike the Birmingham game.
For me, if Gibbs can keep fit, I would have no problem to see Clichy go as long as the price is reasonable as Arsenal always have the tradition of producing a great leftback.
