Kompany exclusive

[Blue Haze]

Consummate professional, but he does seem to be a little on the serious side for a man in his 20's

He's very mature for a man in his mid 20's. I recall someone (Bellamy?) saying he reads books on geopolitics on away trips.

Just intellectually inclined, is my guess. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up being our club's chief executive at some point after he retires, assuming he's not pursuing politics or something.

We're so lucky to have him.

I can't believe how good last season was! We've came so far now & it's only the start. Kompany has got to be captain next season & de Jong vice, bring on 2012/13!

I like the bit where he talks about forgetting last season and focussing on achieving things this season. I dont want us to become to overly focused on last season and we start this season badly, but i have every faith in bobby manc and the team to do the buisness.

Is it just me or is he starting to talk like you mancs?

Nope, I haven't got a french accent lurking about my utterances. Oops, nope, I haven't an accent français menaçant au sujet de mes expressions.

Kompany set for captaincy, from MEN:

Vincent Kompany is set to be named Manchester City skipper – even if Carlos Tevez stays at the club.

The big Belgian stood in for Tevez during the Argentine striker’s absences last season, and is seen by many as the Blues’ captain to-be.

And M.E.N. Sport understands Tevez’s recent request to leave City has made his position as captain untenable.

Tevez was made skipper – with Kolo Toure being stripped of the armband – at the beginning of last season, in a bid to integrate him into the life of the club a little more.

But, while Tevez has been a good leader on the field, his frequent outbursts at manager Roberto Mancini, his two transfer requests and his sniping at Manchester have made him an unpopular figure among fans.

Kompany assumed the captaincy at a crucial stage of last season, when Tevez was ruled out for over a month with a hamstring injury, and skippered the Blues to the FA Cup semi-final win over United, delivering an inspirational speech in the Wembley dressing room before the game.

About time. Off you trot herman

Correct. He should be 'planking' over a balcony like our goalkeeper having the final flush of youth.

he did seem to let his guard down towards the end. It always seems as if he's trying to speak posher than he really is

To me it sounds like he is starting to speak more naturally and yalls accent shows a little

anyway, if he isnt captain next year someone will have made a mistake

Mancunians do not have an accent,everybody else has ;-)
