"here's to you Vincent Kompany"

[Sky Blue]

with the permission of the op i have edited the title of this thread. "well said vinny" simply does not do him justice. its EVERYTHING about him that he does well. on the pitch, off the pitch, in interviews and in his assessment of what manchester city is all about.
i have been watching city an awful long time and i have never known anything like him. without doubt our greatest captain but better still has there ever been a better more acomplished spokesman. he reads the press and the situation in front him so well. he knows people are there to snipe and to draw a stupid comment or a negative from him. more fool them. highly intelligent and polished in every way he gives them nothing to chew on. a lovely man and a true legend of this club. we are priveledged, totally priveledged to have him as a player, a captain and as our image.

so here's to you Vincent Kompany, city really do love you more than you will know.

Good post, Vito.

Sky Sports are in London this morning at an event to welcome the start of the Premier League, they are interviewing various faces from the football world and VK and Pellers are there
Vinnie was giving a live training session when the Sky Sports interviewer pulled him and started asking him about City and the title defence, VK was great as usual, this being Sky Sports they had to bring it around to the rags and they asked him about Rooney being made captain, Vinny gave a ten second answer but when the interviewer carried on he ''look I couldn't care less, im only interested in my own club'', well done Vinny
Wish Pellers would have said the same earlier when they interviewed him and they kept banging on about Van Gaal but Pellers is a charming man!

I pissed sky off at the end of last season, so missed it. Is there a a YouTube link or anything?

Yep on page 7 of this thread

He couldnt be a better example or role model to our club. Everything he says of the pitch is class no sly digs at other clubs, on the pitch he is the finest centre back around. Would love him to have a job at city when he finally retires

Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany has admitted that he "couldn't care less" about Wayne Rooney being appointed the new Manchester United captain.

New manager Louis van Gaal has handed the armband to the England international for the upcoming season following Nemanja Vidic's departure.

When asked by Sky Sports News to give his thoughts on the appointment, Kompany said: "Wayne has been at the club for a long time. Whatever has been happening for United at that time, he's always been at the centre of it.

"Most of the time they've won a lot except for last year obviously. I think having the best player as captain is never a bad choice, but at the same time, in all honesty I'm focused on Man City and to say in the softest way - I couldn't care less to be honest."

Kompay guided City to their second league title in three years last season under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

About time an article came up with this headline,others couldn't mention it with such a headline

Vinnie is a superb Captain and as many have said he is a great role model plus his wife is also a role model. She climbed Ben Nevis in the dark to raise money for the MacMillan Cancer Trust. That is some climb as I know, plus she said she is scared of heights and doesn't like the dark!!

What a fantastic couple to be associated with our brilliant club.

Looking forward to the two Manchester Captains interview 's next season . Vinny will speak better English than the fuckwit from Stretford..

I think we've reached that point, with 2 titles and him being captain, that he's started to become a more public figure and thus put our point across, the first of many hopefully, every new player and youth graduate should learn the ethos of the club from him, as he's really understood it and can articulate it so well, I know it sounds a bit Scouse but at least our philosophy is built on something more sound and non-exploitative.

He's certainly becoming more "outspoken" but like I said, I think he's reached the point to "get away with it", but it makes it more interesting for us.
