Vinny joins Anderlecht as player/manager (Simon Davies follows him)

[FantasyIreland]

Guardiola on Kompany: “I think Vincent, we are going to miss him a lot. I’m going to miss him but I think it’s an incredible way to say... we’re going to see him in the future because he’s going to come back... but it’s an incredible way to say goodbye.”

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Bit of a twat really, as I bet his missus can't speak Flemish (?).......

Flemish, isn't that the language of Merseyside?

 

[domalino]

With the news that he decided after the Spurs game, I wonder....would he have taken that shot from 30 yards if it wasn't his last ever home game?

 

[Don Corleone]

How the fuck are we going to replace this man?

 

[goatersnipple]

Had more then a few goosebumps tonight. Epitome of a legebd

Godsepeed, Vincent, we shall not see your like again.

He knew well before the goal, I was convinced at the end of the game, I think the squad subconsciously knew that night, Pep knew weeks ago.

He was crying after Leicester game, it was obvious he's done here.

Thought it was the Leicester game he was referring to?

In fact it was after the goal

Is there a little bit more to this scenario than meets the eye.....Rumours that Simon Davies may be ackompanying (pun intended!)

So.....Do Anderlecht now become an unofficial feeder club/academy extension?

The Mail has a suggestion that there will be a relationship built up.
It makes sense - Kompany wants to play Guardiola football (he said this, I think), and it helps everyone involved.

The Mail you say??

I was told/under the impression nobody reads that....?

Really? Apart from Martin Samuel presumably!

Harris certainly used to have regular pieces, I think, but that may not happen any more.

He’s going to have big shoes to fill if the plan is for him to return when pep says cheerio. I’m sure he’ll have the tools to do it

 

[Corky]

I would be very surprised if this hasn't been in the pipeline for several months, the Leicester goal just makes a nice story.

He has been excellent the last 6 or 7 games, but not been reliable over his last 4 years.

I'm struggling to think of anyone with more passion,enthusiasm,inspiration and charisma.The incredible knowledge he has acquired,under the men for whom he has played,alongside the management experience he will now gain in a competitive league,and i can't think of a better candidate.

Hopefully the fairytale happens.

 

[cleavers]

I very much think there have been conversations with Khaldoon and Pep about doing this, and he has absolutely done the right thing.

Class as ever last night.
