There have been a few rumours from ITK of a couple of shock departures, anyone any ideas?

On another thread. Kompany is in a list of players Pep has made available for sale.

Duncan Castles mentioned that in an article yesterday.

Duncan Castles said.... Hardly an endorsement of the truth ! Kompany needs to get himself properly fit but with all the other changes taking place across the club I can hardly see the club captain being shown the door unless a stupid offer came in for him and given his recent injury problems I simply can't see that happening. Maybe Mancini will take him on loan if we pay all his wages and give them €10m Euro's upfront for the pleasure.

NO way kompany will leave before Pep has given him a chance to see if he can get over the injuries....he will get at least a season under Pep (unless there is any serious medical worries that the Komps and the club are keeping well and truly hidden)

People seem o forget that his last injury was NOTHING to do with his calf muscle......it was purely bad luck and nothing do with being injury prone

It's not bad luck, his body is failing, and sad to say I can't see him recovering to anywhere near the level required.

Fit or not Kompany gives more fuck about the team than any of the players. He is momentous leader and player. Even if he plays 20-25 games a season I would keep him. He has to retire here. No exit would hurt more than his.

Also it isn't like he isn't the same player anymore, he misses games, but the ones he plays he is at his best.

sorry but that isn't true.......not with this latest injury...its a freak accident and had nothing to do with the ongoing calf problems (which is where your argument holds water)......

and you talk about the level required....in the games he did play he was a step or two beyond any other defender we have so even if he drops a level he is still as good as we have.
its not just what he does physically...his organisation of the defence is second to none, as are his leadership skills......

we can get another couple of seasons out of him at top level if we manage his injures..this is why buying a top centre half is so important...it will allow us to rest Vinnie when we can and do so without falling apart.

His body is failing though mate. Whilst we would all love to see a fully fit Vinnie on the pitch and not be worried he will make it to the final whistle, his time out for injuries is a concern. As mentioned earlier, I'm sure Pep will have a long look at him, but I get the impression Pep would not be sentimental in making a harsh decision if needs be.

You've not missed much mate....rumours are we've bid for Gabriel Jesus a winger/striker type. We interested in meeting Nolito's(winger) 15mil release clause and Sane could make his mind up by Wednesday where he wants to go.....nothing official yet but hopefully some news soon...
