Vincent Kompany injuries

[Blue Llama]

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.

This, absolutely typical of posters talking from their gut instead of their head. Vinny played in the 3 games for us leading up to the international break. Posters like you are as bad as the media who continue to write daft stuff instead of looking at facts.
Vinny nice guy and true blue that he is is a crocked player. Posters are treating this international business as though he were some man of iron god who was unfortunate to pick up an injury. get real he will be a bit part player for us until his contract expires. Stop focussing on him as the player to drag our defense to a title.

I'm talking about the international break 2 seasons ago that's the root cause of all his break downs since so give your head a wobble

How do you know!!!

Because he doesn't strike me as the kind of man to blackmail a player who loves his country to stop playing for them or else.
In fact you'd have to be a bit of a **** to even entertain those thoughts.

Would never want a player to retire from internationals.

We haven't won one in three seasons and nobody knows whether we would have had he played in every one of those 114 games.

Those that hang on his coat tails are living in the past and the distant past.

He deserves to run out his current contract but Pep has told him that he only wants him to set foot on the park when he is at right as he can be and does all the the necessary leg work to ensure he is ok to go as opposed to what he thought he could get away with in the past.

The comment he hadn't trained one minute in the past month in the main drills when he had from Pep may have been more than a Freudian slip.

Any game time we get from VK from now on as has been the case IMO for sometime now when he is on song is a bonus.

We need a CD of quality end of whether VK plays or not along with another quality fullback a defensive midfielder of high quality and another forward.

I am sure we tried in the off season but we couldn't get the ones targeted so we try again at next opportunity.

He reminds me entirely of King of Spurs once his legs gave up.

Of course he wants to play in his last World Cup but his legs might do the talking for him unfortunately.

Would never want a player to retire from internationals.

Even those that are past their prime by some margin?

Personally I wanted Rooney to retire long ago and it has nothing to do with Manure more the fact there were better alternatives for England while he was still living on borrowed time.

It strikes me that Kompany simply needs to play very cautiously - not stretching into tackles/diving in. And with the cooperation of our side and his International side - not featuring in games that aren't hugely important - and in games where his side very likely have won - being substituted.

But... the main onus I think is on Kompany - and perhaps medical staff for giving him instruction. He's obviously very delicate - and needs to play very carefully with that in mind.

IMO, it's unreasonable to expect that Kompany give up his International career, especially in a season where his side has a reasonable expectation of actually competing for the WC (yes, there are several sides more likely to win, but Belgium are contenders if they can get it together).

This is what I'm talking about

So Blue Llama give me some facts on minutes played for city before this international injury.

It's posters like you that have short term memories and a lack of information retention that can't see that Belgium have caused massive damage to Kompany. The club were expecting him to be fit two weeks after the international but they still called him up to play.
