Kompany or De Jong

[Dembélé]

So now we've gotten ourselves a dutchman. Very good player no doubt but he plays as a defensive midfielder which is where Kompany is playing his ass off.
So anyone care to take a guess at hughes tactics, whether or not they will include either De Jong or Kompany?
Both DM's, both from the same part of Europe. They both played at HSV before joining city and under Jol's managing tactics De Jong was almost always prefered to Kompany to boalster the midfield.

So will Kompany move to centerback, alongside Dunne with Richards back to rightback, will Kompany play alongside De Jong meaning the omission of another midfielder, will Kompany play alone as a DM, meaning we just bought a backup player, or will De Jong take Kompany's place altogether, meaning Hughes is punishing Kompany for having a great season so far?

(I'm a huge belgian Kompany fan btw so if it were up to me I'd let De Jong sit on the bench, because he takes Master Kompany's place. And he's dutch, that's not cool.)

I'd play the pair of em' together ...... they could be good for each other!

Exactly. VK & Ned at CB with De Jong playing in the gap between the back 4 and the midfield. Simple innit, this managing lark!

Joe

Micah
Kompany
Ned
Bridge

Zabba
De Jong

SWP
Ireland
Robinho

Felipao or Bellamy

Is the best side, IMO. We need that stopping power in the middle, for the time being.

Agreed - Like a Liverpool style 4-2-3-1 it would certainly help at the back especially away or against tough opponents

You couldn't put this fucker on the bench, they'd all be too shit scared to sit next to him.

I'd like us to see a 4-1-4-1 at home and a 4-2-3-1 away.
