Manchester City have made their first signing with the capture of Arsenal and French International defender, Gael Clichy for a reported 7million pounds on a four year deal. The 25 year old was the last remaining member of the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ from the 2003-04 season when they went all season unbeaten.
He became the youngest player to win a Premier League medal in 2004 aged just 18 years and 10 months. He is a pacy left back and will certainly compliment Richards on the right and make for a more balanced City team with both defenders liking to get forward.
Clichy has represented his National Team at all levels from the U-15’s all the way up to the seniors where he currently has ten appearances.
Hopefully Gael represents the start of many quality signings from Mancini and co over the coming weeks as we look forward to the next campaign and a realistic shot at the title and progression in the Champions League.
