Kompany return date?

[Eccles Blue]

I think it should AT LEAST be a certified letter on parchment with fire marks on the sides, an embossed club stamp, a lacquered seal and the personal signatures of Pellegrini & Kompany at the bottom of the document, sent out to each fan individually.

I do actually have a letter from VK, framed, up on the wall here but it isn't on parchment or anything. It is enquiring about my health so maybe I should write back to him and ask about his health? :-)

Agree with joe being captain,i don't buy the theory that goalies can't be capt.it'll be interesting to see who pep chooses

The theory that keepers can't be captain has always been complete and utter bollocks.

 

[ancoats]

its sad that him and aguero don't play full seasons we walk the premeir league win the FA cup and league cup if both was fit for a full season come to think about it Yaya and silva never play a full season aswell it only joe hart that does not pick up a injury

 

[kippax91]

Purely from a practical point of view, it is easier if it's an outfield player, just because of the fact that captains are allowed to have a word with the ref, and if the keeper needs to run over every time ...

He best be paying for the repairs for the dressing room and managers room doors... Which he caused

That never stopped

Buffon

Casillas

Shilton

Yashin

Zoff

and tons of others. In fact I think about 1/3rd of the captains at the last world cup were Goalkeepers.

Anything between ten minutes and a month before he's out again.

So the rags have 11 captains then?

I never said it should stop a team from appointing the keeper as captain, but it still is a practical (minor) problem.

They usually don't need to have a word ...

It's a hypothetical problem that has been proven to not exist in the real world, by a huge number of very successful Goalkeeper captains.

 

[SWP's back]

Far better having an outfield player as captain.

Keeper should always be a second loud voice anyway talking to his back four all game.

 

[i8rags]

and if either of martin or otto gets injured or a red card?

Sagna, Mangala, like I said Bill for sure we need to strengthen but it won't be the reason we win nowt.

 

[the_game_161]

Another 6 extra weeks then

 

[mosssideblue]

Does anyone think when we eventually get him back he will be able to sustain a run without him becoming injured again?

I don't think he will but i really hope i'm wrong

The fact that they seem to be hunting the globe looking for somebody to treat him , suggests it's not an injury that has occurred before or is quite rare, I'm guessing if they find somebody that can diagnose it properly there may be chance it can be fixed, but until they find somebody I think it will be an increasingly recurring injury.

 

[mosssideblue]

I think that due to the amount of scar tissue that he must be carrying, we will never get the true Vinnie back, (like you, I hope to be proven wrong), but some tough decisions to be made in the Summer I feel
