Clichy

Frenchman Clichy joined City from the Gunners in a PS7million deal in 2011.

Former Arsenal star Clichy is a free agent at the end of the season and City boss Pep Guardiola is on the lookout for a new left-back.

Clichy admitted Guardiola (right) - who won two Champions League crowns and three La Liga titles at Barcelona, before moving to Bayern Munich and winning the Bundesliga three times - has given City's players a huge lift.

"This investment is a significant step for SGS and its positioning within France, one of the three largest bio/pharmaceutical markets in Europe," said Paul Beyou, director of Life Science Services, Clichy, "We see the site as being an important strategic tool to keep in step with the small molecule quality control market and begin to address the biologies pipeline within the country, underlining SGS's ability to evolve along with the needs of our customers."

Clichy moved to City in 2011 and is now preparing to roll up at Dens beside other big names such as Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Javi Garcia for the pre–season work out.

Left-back Clichy said: "Last season was last season - it has gone.

Clichy played three full games at last summer's European Championships, but has since fallen out of favour again and has only featured in only one of Les Bleus' five World Cup qualifiers to date.

Clichy further said that if that happens, then it is possible for doubts to cloud the United players' nerves and may get them left behind in the race for the title.

It is understood Clichy did not inform City officials after the game, and that no complaint was made by the Premier League club.

City had 23 shots throughout the game, 10 on target, and Clichy thinks they must improve the scoring ratio, even though they have struck 69 times in 27 league games.

Now Clichy believes he has found a club who can deliver the success he craves.

GAEL CLICHY has revealed he quit Arsenal for Manchester City because he was sick of being a loser.
