Analysing The Movers : Gael Clichy

First, lets get through a couple of updates for a player which I’ve already done in the last few posts. The situation with Cesc Fabregas gets worse week by week.

The past, the present and a capital idea

This morning I was looking back through the archives to see if I could do an ‘On this day’, kind of feature. I think I picked a bad day. My choices were: the day after Thierry Henry left (2007), us being linked very heavily with Alexander Hleb (2005), Jens Lehmann talking about how we should [...]
