Vincent Kompany - 2018/19 Performances

[domalino]

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 ?

The status quo is perfect for us. Kompany can hang around for a year while we see if Garcia or Sandler are the real deal. If one of them really excels and gets ahead of him then he can take on a more plauer/coach role or leave with the clubs best wishes for Anderlecht or somewhere similar. Of not we can replace him with a proper signing in 18 months time.

So long as we retain Otters... CB is the least of our worries. We need a world-class replacement at DM - Fernandinho's expiration date is fast approaching.

from Pep's comments, about being unsure what we are going to do with Vinnie when his contracts up this summer, his injury record being an issue. We are defiantly going to be busy in the summer needing a centre half as well as to cover the ageing Fernandinho

Pep says he has no idea when Vincent Kompany will be fit again.

 

[Trojan1962]

Not good news re Vinny we missed his leadership qualities in midweek. Had he been fit and played he is inspirational to others. I hope we see him back very soon. Difficult one for the powers that be come the summer when I am advised his contract is up.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Anyone got the feeling that without actually coming out and saying it Pep feels that Vinnie should either retire or move on in in the summer?

Unfortunately there is no sign of his chronic injury problems easing after three blighted seasons.

 

[Trojan1962]

Only played 9 league games unfortunately. I don’t think anyone else will sign him and I don’t believe that he would want to play for anyone else in the premier league unless it was a excellent deal.

Regardless of the deal he would never play for another prem team,i think we should keep him on as captain maybe on a pay as you play deal,if he wants to keep playing,he is still the man i would want in the trenches as he is still a good player and leader

Worth keeping as a fourth choice for cup matches, big games and lifting trophies if he's happy with that. No need to sell him (because nobody will buy him), no need to play him as often as we once did (because we have Stones and Laporte), no need to let him rot away in the reserves (because he's good enough when fit). The best solution is to have him start 5-10 league games per season and make up other appearances when he can. One of Pep's biggest accomplishments at City is moving us completely away from relying on Kompany and Yaya to win things, and it means we can offer a realistic situation to Vinny whereby he plays a lot less than he used to but still has a role in the dressing room.
