Kompany-citys best ever centre back?

[lloydie]

Got any 78rpm's I could borrow?

Only vid that came up on a search was this, but no action from big Dave, worth a watch anyway

Best I've seen is Dave Watson, he and VK would be immense as a pairing.

Dave Watson was the best English centre half I've seen.
Colin Hendry was quality.
Mike Doyle and Tommy Booth legends,
But Vinny is getting there.

Sorry guys, as much as I think Kompany is playing superb at CB, I personally think he is a Central Midfielder and a damn fine one at that.

Said it many times before, he is the best player at the club.

Debut game at home to WHU...outstanding.
Hamburg in the Waffer at home...outstanding
Just a couple of examples (yes I know the CB games outweigh the midfield ones). Can't think of any more as it has been that long since he played there!

Obviously. there is little chance at the mo, but hopefully in the near future he will slot in.

Is there some distance in Barry out, Luiz in, Kompany into the middle alongside De Jong?

I can't agree at all, i think his passing is too erratic to play in that position at the top level.

Even though he was a left back Kompany has nowhere near the amount of skill as Ben Thatcher did.

At least you didn't abuse me.

Nine pages and I'm the only one who thinks he's a midfielder. Expected dogs!!!

He isn't a midfielder; he played there a few times under Hughes and didn't do very well lots of times. I also don't think he has the mobility to play there.

Shitbag :)

Spot on for me. Apart from Colin Hendry. Dave Watson heading was fantastic. I remember a bullet header from outside the box against Ipswich in 77 summed up his power.
