All over my social feeds in the last few days.... 8hrs ago having a kickabout with some youngsters in belgium then in brussels telling everyone how difficult and expensive it is for youngsters to breakthrough

whats wrong with that ? its not going to harm his fitness and id assume he can't train/ focus on fitness 24/7
 
Someone questioning Vinnies commitment, haha brilliant.

If anything I'd guess that Peps told Vinnie to chill out rather than constantly working himself into a frenzy and getting injured every time he comes back.

Probably happy he's out of the way while he boots Hart out of the door.
 
That he should be concentrating on getting himself 100% fit or maybe hes another that thinks he doesnt fit into Peps plans ?

Do you really think for one minute that Kompany, of all people would neglect his fitness regime.
A topic for topics sake.
 
Can't imagine that he's launching this campaign without the club's support. Additionally, he's also one of the top men in Belgian football, which needs all the help it can get following the insane appointment of Roberto Martinez as gaffer of their apparent Golden Generation.

Personally, I think it's great that he's putting himself about to promote equal opportunity and accessibility to the game in his native country. Despite his injury problems, Kompany is a model pro, a born leader and a charismatic and intelligent personality who clearly has a sense of duty to develop the game off the pitch if he's unable to contribute on it.
 
Is he training do we know?? If so how far away till a return is imminent?

He has been in recent training videos and with boots on doing ball work, so he must be close, but I suspect the club will be ultra cautious with him and we may not see him before the international break
 
My honest opinion right now regarding Vinny is...

Pep knows he is a big voice and probably involved in Mancini's departure. He won't be looking to get rid just yet but he will make sure Kompany is aware why (in part) others are being sold, namely Joe, yaya (froze out), Nasri (listed). The final unspoken question will be, 'do you accept me as the big boss or not, if not your fucking out mate'. That is the long and short of it. Can Kompany accept the new hierarchy? because the first dodgy leak to the press would be the last under pep.

As a player Pep would want him though as he likes to play the ball.
 
Does anyone know what VK has been doing re the calf?
Has he had an op on it or some other form of treatment? Was it his groin he pulled in the home tie with Madrid?
Just not heard anything regarding his rehab. Having watched how dedicated his regime was to regaining fitness last time I doubt he compromises in any way when it comes to that aspect of his life. Quite funny to hear someone question his commitment tbh.
 
I don't think we'll see Kompany as a first choice again.

Stones is going to be the focal point of this defence with someone tough and uncompromsing next to him.

The mascherano to the pique, or the pepe to the ramos. I think kompany is competing with stones now.
I was with you for the first part. Bit I think Kompany is competing with Ota. With Stones as the mainstay and Kolarov the backup to Ota/Kompany.

It depends on where he is with the rehab, but if he's close to "full" fitness wouldn't it be awfully tempting for the club to ask him to prove his fitness before the transfer window closes?

It was reported that City would only bid for Bonucci if Kompany breaks down again. Doesn't that imply that Kompany will be tested to see if he will break down?

He had an operation in the Summer to compare a complete tear of a thigh muscle.
 
Hardly a scandal
The only scandal is blues using shite like that as a stick to beat him.
Like Hart, if there's somebody more suitable then he will be picked. I still think Vinny has a place and I think Pep will want him in the team but it's up to Kompany to prove his fitness and reliability.
