    Seeing as we seem to of a put a bid in for Clichy according to Tony Barrett - I thought it was worth giving him his own thread to save it getting mixed in with the rumours/twitter thread.

    Seeing as everyone else has tweeted it now - @TonyBarretTimes reports that #LFC have offered around £5m for Gaël Clichy of #AFC

    bensmith_Times Ben Smith
    Clichy 'very interested' in #LFC's offer but there's plenty of competition from abroad. #AFC

    111 - Gael Clichy made more tackles than any other full back in the 2010-11 Premier League. Combative.

    5 Million would be a steel, one of the best left backs in the premierleague, easily worth double that, Would be over the moon with 5 million.

    Liverpool make their intentions clear with £5m bid for Gael Clichy

    Clichy may leave Arsenal after eight seasons

    I'm very surprised with that stat as I always thought he was better going forward than defending.If we got him for even 7/8 million it would be a super piece of business.Plus taking a decent player off your rivals couldn't do any harm.

    I like Clichy. Seen him get caught out a bit, but he's quick enough to cover his mistakes,.

    I would love to get him. Surely someone will better that price though. And would they want to sell him to us.

    Be a great signing, gets absoloutly no cover at arsenal, plus working with clarke will improve his defending like it has glen johnson

    Probably only a testing the water bid.
    As we know, these days, if he wants to come to us, he will.

    Is Clichy that good? Always thought he was a bit dodge myself. Id still prefer Enrique, though open to correction.

    Clichy would be a super signing and I'd be over the moon if we snapped him up....

    Dodge? Enrique is very very dodge at the back IMO. I'd be delighted with Clichy although I know he may be a little suspect he's a good player and a steal for this kind of money.

    never rated him that highly but who knows, maybe with kenny and steve clarke he might improve greatly. and 5 million, although it'll probably be a bit more if the deal does go through, for a starting left back from one of the top 5 teams in the league could prove to be a great bargain

    Worth a punt at that price. Only a little more than we paid for konchesky.
