Kompany (do we need to find a replacement? )

[Blue Til Death]

He is taking Injuries from challenges he would have walked through a few seasons ago though..

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Send him out on loan to Holland in January for the rest of the season. Let him play a slower, less physical league for a few months to get his confidence back. Hopefully then he could come back next season and have one last chance to show Pep that he still has something to offer. I'm not convinced he does for a team with the ambitions we do though. Love him, but surely there's only so much he can take of this?

He needs to retire from international football too..

Most of his injuries have been caused by over stretching (mainly to his calf) as he defends on the front foot. I don't think any player would have walked through the clllision with Bravo on Saturday either. He took a right clattering and landed really awkwardly as a result. I do agree with what others have alluded to in this thread though and that is that mentally he must be finding this very tough. These should be his prime years. It's all very sad.

This is a disaster.

It seems whatever he does, he injures a different area of his body.

It's actually bizarre. He's even managed to injure his head. Broken arm next.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

If he's going to do knee ligaments better medial than cruciate or meniscus.

You do realise the impact of that injury on his calfs?

What are the implications Zin?

 

[avoidconfusion]

Crikey, your quick with your nonsense. he had a knock to the head and had to come off, quite routine.

What was that? Maybe you and the other chaps on here that had a go at me for stating that I think he is finished have a different view now that he is out for months again.

 

[geoff clipp]

Gutted to say it but there's no way we'll go into next season with Kompany as part of our first choice centre back pairing. No manager would take that risk. If he's not convinced on Otamendi (I still can't quite make my mind up about him) we'll be going all out for someone. In fact we probably will anyway regardless of his views on Otamendi.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Anytime EB. Anytime.

That would be the ultimate case of poacher turned gamekeeper.

Yes and I've mentioned it on the other thread, but it's swings and roundabouts really and if we don't rush him we've time to work on his calf before bringing him back into the team.
