I appreciate Yaya Toure is undoubtedly a very important player in our team and there is very little doubt his absence during the ACN could massively effect our chances of sustaining our generally good form, but something has recently crossed my mind.
For some time now, although far more frequently in recent weeks, Vincent Kompany has shown a real flair for pushing further and further forward, and clearly has great ambition to show just how good he can be raiding forwards with the same sort of pace, power and strength we are usually accustomed to from Micah Richards.
Now I appreciate he is the best Centre back, probably in world footbal, or certainly very close to it, but when we signed him originally, it was to play as a defensive midfielder, just as Yaya did for much of his time at Barcelona. Yaya also played in the centre back role for Barca, so surely, with Kolo, Savic and others easily able to cover the Centre half possition, would it not be at least worth giving Kompany a chance at the role Yaya plays, even if it's just for a few weeks, and who knows, we might just see how good he could become in a slightly more advaced possition?
