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

[bondsman]

Hard to imagine how you replace his influence in the dressing room let alone on the pitch.

 

[Cityfan]

I’m literally gutted.

Poor you, a bit messy?

It must take a lot to walk away from this.

He knows he could stay here and in all likelihood pick up another half a dozen trophies in the next 2 seasons.

Let's not get carried away here. Vinny has got through a few games injury free at the end of the season to go out on a high. We all know he's only one sneeze away from being injured for months. He could indeed stay and pick up another half dozen trophies but Vinny and the club have obviously come to an amicable decision calling time on his career here. In the cold light of day without blue tinted specs on, the correct decision has been made.

Will give you 21 billion to one odds

I'll have a pound on that please

Much as it hurts to see him leave we all knew one day it would happen . Now after lifting every domestic trophy in a record breaking season is as good a time as any. Doubt we'll ever sign his equal again. Thank you Vinny and good luck were ever you go.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Wouldnt be surprised if he ends up at New York City although his family is very settled in the Manchester area , but no doubt he will be back at our club at some level in the future , and he would also make a great pundit , imagine Kompany and Carragher side by side in a TV studio ,who are you going to take more notice off ?

I think he’ll go back to Anderlecht

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Hardly surprising but sad nonetheless. He's one of us now, poor sod.

 

[Bozo]

He is irreplaceable as a player, captain and man. Gutting news, but probably the right time for him. He'll be back. Thank you Vinnie.

What a way to go. The way he came back to lead the team to glory, including providing a match winning goal of the season, has been a joy to behold and another demonstration of the measure of the man who has arguably been the finest representative of this club.

I remember his debut, in midfield, when me made him MotM and recall Didi Hamann telling Our Kid after the game that he thought Vinnie was a bit raw and had a lot to learn; well, learn he did. Watching Vinnie grow over these past ten years has been a pleasure.

Hopefully he will return to City in some capacity one day but wish him well whatever.
