United: Arsenal star Gael Clichy says there is more unity at the club this season[LNB]The departure of Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City has been good news all round at Arsenal: the dressing room is a happier place following Adebayor's move; the centre-halves speak to each other; and Arsenal's financial results this week will confirm that Wenger can next year spend the entire £40million raised by their sales.[LNB]Gael Clichy has confirmed that the team are more united following the Adebayordeparture.[LNB]'The atmosphere is definitely better than it was last year,' he said. 'People can say it is because of different reasons, but we are more of a unit.'[LNB]Although Toure was never as disliked as Adebayor, his relationship with William Gallas was non-existent.[LNB]'We missed a good relationship between the two centre-backs last season,' said Clichy. 'William Gallas needed to have a good relationship with someone, and with Thomas Vermaelen something just clicked on the first day.'[LNB]Clichy was speaking at the opening of Highbury Square, the transformation of the historic old ground into 650 apartments.[LNB]A year ago, in the midst of the property crash and credit crunch, it looked to be an economic catastrophe. But this week's results will show Arsenal expect to make a profit of £10m, giving Wenger the green light to spend next summer.[LNB] Fulham 0 Arsenal 1: Van Persie scores but stand-in keeper is the saviourVan Persie warns Arsenal cannot take any challenge lightly on Euro pathARSENAL FC
