Vincent Kompany injuries

If he's not playing games, there will be no World Cup for Vinnie

Why is it Pep's dream to play 3-5-2 ?

He used 4-3-3 in his whole career with Barca, Bayern and even City and now he is having his best run of results with 4-3-3

Well, he used 3-5-2 in all pre-season games and first 4 league fixtures. I think it tells you something.

I don't subscribe to the idea of just getting rid. He is a city talisman, maybe pay him less but he is Mr Manchester City

True i guess,i'm having a hard time letting our old players go,he might take a wage cut to meet the club in the middle i guess,i just want to see him play once more and go out in true vinny style

Me too, hated to lose Zab but that decision has been fully vindicated.

Martinez is a twat so he'll take him anyway

Yup. Probably agree with that. They have decent centre backs anyway. I might have a flutter on them winning it. Quality through the squad

I fully agree with your thinking on Vinny's future, "post World Cup". Let's hope the club utilise his experience in some form or other. It would be great if Pep takes him under his wing, as he has with Arteta. Vinny has so much to offer, very bright well educated, excellent communicator, charismatic leader of people, a dogged fighter, and winner. I feel that if there was ever anyone to be schooled in Pep's philosophy, Vinny would be that person. If not on the playing side, "wow" the club have someone they could mentor and develop into, well anything! The sky has no limit for Vincent Kompany.

Great post! 100% agree. It’s so sad to see his career ending due to his muscle problems but I think we couldn’t go far wrong with Pep training him up to be his successor.

You cannot carry a crock forever.

He misses 10 games minimum now for a minor setback.

He is not alone their are numerous players who muscles in the calf and the upper leg are shot.

Our squad is paper thin and today its likely we will start the same line up again which is fine when everybody is fit and carry only minor injuries.

Don't get me wrong when is still more than able to hold a spot when he is mentally and physically ok but we need 4 central defenders who will be available for selection in the vast majority of games we play and currently we basically have two without going to the youth.

We don't need to recoup money from Vinny, selling him is not important, if he leaves we just let him go.

I still don’t see anywhere he’d go to, even on a free. I think there’s a job for life within the CFG for Vinny.

I bet if he wasn't paid by City when injured, he wouldn't be so keen to play for Belgium when only half fit.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.
