Probably a smoke screen but hey Clichy would be fantastic and with him and Dann/Subotic our defence would be set allowing us to focus on wingers.
Arsenal aren't too bothered about Clichy as they rate Gibb's much more highly than him. Although i think the pride of the thing doesnt stand Arsenal in very good stead all of their players seem to lack respect for the club their at...(Denilson, Clichy, Nasri, Fabregas, Bendtner, Arshavin) i think they all need a clip round the ear and reminded they are a massive club who is in Europe consistently. But i guess this is the price you pay when you allow the English core of your team to dissolve and replace them with foreign kids (had this been 15 years ago guarenteed Dixon and Adams would've told them the score).
Now go get Mata, Wickham and another winger and we're laughing for next season
