Vincent Kompany injuries

[Silvas' left eyebrow]

Think that was it tonight for vinnie , won t feature in premier league starting 11 till its won.
Sad but you don't always get to pick your end in life or sport. Sentiment can't play and won't in Pep s future selection.
If kompany gets to World Cup , played and came back injured what would that do to his relationship with pep.

OVER......

 

[Fame Monster]

He has a contract for another 18 months. He won’t be getting another as a player. I can see him trying to play in the World Cup and then packing in.

You’re probably right but every time he gets injured, it’s always after he’s played twice in a week or his first game back from injury (maybe a game too soon). If he can’t even play once a week then I would agree, time to let him go but I can’t see the harm in having him around on a pay-as-you-play contract, good to have winners alongside you in the dressing room. No chance he will be able to stay fit for a World Cup.

Sad to see him end this way. I hope he'll be fit enough to play a part in the run in, at some point. Could always stick him in goal at the swamp, after our guard of honour. What harm could it do?

 

[adrianr]

Said the same myself, he almost looked embarrassed. No anger, just acceptance.

Hope he proves me wrong.

As heartless as it sounds, he shouldn't be getting the chance to prove you wrong at City. By all means prove you wrong for Belgium, or another club, but his time here is up. He's been given so many chances to stay healthy and it's clearly never going to happen for him under the stresses of a club playing in 4 competitions.

Sadly that could be it now.

I don't think playing him twice a week helped but I suppose a player should be able to cope with a couple of games, Vin's not up to the riggers of the game anymore.

We clearly need to buy someone now because we can't keep seeing this happen.

Shame for Kompany but it's just not working out for him any more.

 

[chaddblue]

What I don’t understand is why he never breaks down in training or in the warm up

Surely he puts himself through match situations when he’s not playing in a match

 

[hfc]

I can't see Pep relying on him anymore. Certainly, we will be bringing in another centre back in the window.

Of course we don't know the type or extent of the latest injury yet, but I agree with you.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Jesus over-react much?

He gestured to give him a few minutes to run it off.

Ten minutes in Pep decided there was no benefit to having two CB's on the field and took him off.

It was as much tactical as anything.

BUT..I will say Vinnie has done himself no favours tonight and Pep must be fed up with the constant babysitting of him. Stones will be back next week and Mangala and Tosin are growing in the system. Injury or no injury I think tonight was the start of Vinny being surplus.
