It will be a sad day when Vinny finally leaves our club. Sadder still when you realise that we no longer need him. I love him to bits, he has been the face of our club from almost the day he signed.
I understand the need to move on, and I agree that if he isn't playing, then financially he will become a burden on the club.
I also understand that along with Zabba, he is one of the few players who get City. He bought into us when he was at the top of his game and any club in the world would have gladly taken him on. But he loved City, he married a Mancunian and a blue at that. Vincent Kompany is the epitome of a Blue.
I know we need to move on, I know we need a replacement, but at the least can we not show him the respect he deserves. He is an adopted Mancunian and a City fan by choice.
Some of the posts on here have been hard to read. If this is indeed the end of his playing career with us, can we not at the least start showing the same respect he has shown us.
