Vincent Kompany injuries

[Neville Kneville]

Pep is a strong believer in players playing international football, so he won't press Vinny to retire.

The fact that we were having the same debate three years ago. epitomises why City haven't progressed as quickly as we would like. Sadly, there's too many people suggesting what's best for Kompany rather than what's best for the club.

I think the days are gone where the pisscan practically told his players, club first. Even if coming back from injuries they all chomping at the bit to play for their country, Regardless if it pisses off clubs.

Who would those people be? The only ones that matter are the management and what they think - the rest is just opinion.

The posters reacting angrily to Vinny's injury on international duty are doing exactly the same as the media having a go at Kun for being in Holland. Both players were no more at risk where they got injured than in the UK.

What is baffling from the same crowd is the assumption that he would be a ok each and every time he pulls on a City shirt.

Vinny has weak muscle definition in his legs and a history of soft tissue issues that are long standing now.

It's not going to improve over time its only going to get worse and it has to managed properly.

As captain of our 2 titles he has status in the club like few others have enjoyed throughout our history and has blue veins for sure and certain.

Many including me have been saying that for a sometime we should have bought someone into the club for him to mentor sometime ago to be captain of the side into the future permanently rather than drawing at straws over past seasons as to who it is when he is injured.

When his playing days are over and that day is drawing near he will have the opportunity should he wish to stay at the club for sometime to come ala Gerrard etc.

Gone are the days when we can rely on Vinny to pull us through as he did in the past , he legs are gone in effect.

Its time to look forward but that does not mean we cannot utilise him when his legs are half good or as good as they will be into the future.

In the meantime we rely on Stones and Ota and Mangala if necessary that we know at least have a keeper of quality behind them that will as good as Manure have enjoyed for a number of years now.

Kompany should not be considered for the first team until he hangs up his international boots. We need to take a hard line as he is fragile and always gets injured when playing for his country.

Great post

It's not the same scenario though is it. Kompany had been out for a long spell and hadn't played a single minute for us but was called up to the belgium squad. Everyone knew that if they played him there was a massive chance of doing huge damage to him. So guess what, they played him and unsurprisingly got injured badly. He's never recovered from that in my opinion so quite rightly I'm pissed off with the Belgium team. Getting injured on international is fine but this was a ridiculous decision by them

It's a shite post which luckily Guardiola would never entertain.
