Seems to be one thing after another for Vinny. He is a beast when fit but it’s sadly not often enough nowadays.

I don’t understand this injury and how it comes and goes.

Possibly a tendonitis type injury that flares up occasionally and unpredictably.I don’t understand this injury and how it comes and goes.

It used to be really worrying when Vinny was injured we had players like Mangala coming in to the team , but with Stones , Otto , Laporte and the emerging Garcia we have strength in depth , hopefully Vinny gets another couple of years on his contract , but i think we are witnessing his twilight years as a truly great Manchester City footballer , used to think he was irreplaceable but time moves on.

Id love to see him playing with Garcia when he's fit to impart some of the incredible knowledge he has on the game onto Garcia.

He will do that as player/defence coach from next season onwards, on his way to learning to be our future manager and prime minister of Belgium.

And yet he probably had his best game in a number of seasons against the dippers...
I’ve kind of gone full swing on the notion that he needs to be replaced, if he’s fit for 8/9 big games a year and he’s the difference (which he invariably is) then he deserves the extension in my book. You can’t buy his leadership qualities, he just puts everyone at ease and leads by example. Without komps v the dippers you don’t get the intensity of Bernardo etc:....
The season isn’t anywhere near over and we’ll need those qualities again, sure of it....
Put it this way, I’d want him starting in any finals that ensue!

Whilst I agree with most of that, I really do like the Stones/Laporte pairing and less chance of a red in a CL final with those two.And yet he probably had his best game in a number of seasons against the dippers...

I think the potential of the Stones / Laporte partnership is immense. Wash my mouth out but I can't help being reminded of Hansen / Lawrenson.
On Vinnie, he has to be kept at the club. I'd make him a player-coach next season.

Unless Otamendi or Vinny demand a transfer, or a young cb better than Stones & Laporte who is a lifelong City fan, & is begging us to sign him emerges, why not just leave things as they are ?
