Guardiola to Axe Kompany (Various Sources)

Love Vinny but Pep's right time to split

Heart says no but head says yes

Hopefully one day he will return in some capacity but his day's of performing regular at the highest level have long gone.

It's also psychological problem for Vinny having so many injuries.

Its one hell of a shame but its obvious to everyone hes finished, how many minutes on the pitch this season out of 40 plus games?

An ambassador role would be great for him, he should remain at the club and if he doesnt then the club will go right down in my estimations.

I'd say that this is a positive as it means we can build our defence around players who are consistently match fit but watch us sign a couple of bumbling morons to play centre back.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Mass clear out in the summer, and I think there will be a few shocks be prepared.

No place for sentiment in football etc etc but if Vinny is no longer able to represent us on the pitch it would be nice if there was some way he was able to do so off it. Subject to him wanting that of course.

And how can we be sure Vinnie wants that? He might not feel ready to retire from playing just yet.

The only way this ends up being the best decision for the club is if we manage to buy at least 2 centre halves who are in the same class as kompnay as NONE of the ones we have at present even come close and stones although good never will.

Huge job on Peps hands this summer. He fucked up the goal keeper replacement which he now needs to rectify and getting the call right to replace kompany is even more important

Love Vinny, but you just need to look across the road to see what happens if you keep onto someone past their best (Vidic).

 

[lancs blue]

Sad but inevitable I'm afraid. As to the future, does he still own a stake in that Belgian club, he may want to concentrate on that initially?

This is also a very good point...plus..when does his contract finish. Pep mighnt not play him but leaving is another matter. No team will buy him IF he cant prove his fitness and if he can then he should be kept
