VVD and Tierny are two excellent players and should be considering them regardless of Kompany and Mendys current injures IMO, as we could do with another CB and LB

Just trying to understand who is saying this, where the rumour has come from.

Fair do's, it could have come from anywhere but I have also heard similar from a lad who was in that tunnel club last night apparently from the mouth of one of our club legends.

My info is only hearsay thats why i didnt post it but obviously the OP has a reason to post his and im inclined to lean towards believing it, more than not, just from what i heard aswell.

Anyway fingers crossed it is only rumour and Vinny proves it by playing Saturday evening

It does seem that way, but I would be interested to see how many times it's happened when away with Belgium compared to when he's been with us. I don't know but I suspect it doesn't happen with Belgium as much as we think it does.

It's more that he plays when he has not been right for us then breaks down when he gets back,he has gone against bobby and mp for sure,not sure what pep thinks

That's true in the past, this time though he seemed fine when he left with the games at the end of last season and the start of this so can't really blame him for playing even though it was just a friendly, he must have been thinking he had finally solved the problem.

He didn't need to playing in a friendly,i can see why he thought he was better though
 
The problem that I think we as fans have with Vinny is that we cannot see anyone replacing him and delivering what he has brought to the club over the past umpteen seasons. He has been one of those unique players whose time, place and persona merged into just one fantastic entity!
 
Difficult to find fault with our transfer business this summer but whether or not the club is worried about Kompany's latest injury, we should have gone all out for a CB in the summer. A left sided CB who can play FB would make alot of sense and kill two birds with one stone....
 
We don't have any luck when it comes to keeping our best defenders fit do we? Injuries and referees are a pain in the ass, every time we start feeling optimistic they rear their head.
 
Massive void to try and fill. I don't think he's going to play again for us. I really hope I'm proved wrong.

Of course he will but i think this is the last season for him,he will stay around as club capt and ambassador but thats it,he wants to manage so he might go off to Belgium i suppose

I heard last night from a reliable source that Kompany is causing major concerns behind the scenes and has suffered another setback. This may not be surprising to many but staff at City have decided that a permanent replacement is URGENTLY needed.
Virgil Van Dyke is being seriously considered as an immediate replacement.(as immediate as Jan anyway obs)
This comes on top of the worry for Mendy as we were already looking for back up. Names mentioned last night were Bertrand, Chillwell and Tierney.But with some of our players already on loan at Celtic it is felt we may have some bargaining power for Tierney.

If true, its sad for Kompany, but life goes on. He put his frigile body at unnecessary risk playing a dead rubber International match & his actions have yet again impacted on City.

I said from the end of the window that we need another LB, CB CM, RM, CDM & a young reserve striker wouldn't go amiss either. Our success or failure this season will come down to our strength in depth. 1-18 is great, but there's still a lack of squad balance over all.

Are you serious? To City at the going rate for 5 players that have the quality for selection you are looking at another £200M minimum! How do you think we would square that with Fair Play scrutiny? It's not Fantasy league we are playing.
