Vincent Kompany

[OB1]

Like for like the nearest I can compare him to is Dave Watson.
Very similar all round ability but Vince has the added edge of athleticism of the modern day player.

Vinnie has replaced Dave Watson in my all time City XI.

I only finished watching the Sky coverage o f the game last night and was actually gobsmacked to hear Carra describe Vinnie's performance as perhaps the best he'd ever seen by a centre back: I never expected to hear an ex-Liverpool say that.

I've said this before but if Vinnie stays fit, he could claim the title of world's best CB this season. I think he needs to lead us to a trophy (or two) and put on some outstanding displays in the World Cup and UCL.

Thanks to Blue Punter for pointing out the 66/1 VInnie PFA player of the year, I stuck 25 on it

He dropped form 66 to 16 overnight at VC. I think the most you can get now is 20s. Come on Vinnie lad!

 

[adrianr]

Still a huge ask for him to get player of the year when you consider a) injuries and b) the awards leanings toward attackers.

Yea course, that's why he was 66/1....

He's in the top 10 favourites now though

I have the feeling that Baines will get it and think he is around 33/1

 

[Tricky_Trev]

'Scotty' Parker will win it. Or Kyle Walker. Or Gareth Bale. Or Giggs. Maybe Scholes if he comes out of retirement.

Sorry, was referring to the 'best you can get is 20s' part.

If Baines scores a couple more of those free kicks and most importantly in high profile games he wouldn't be a bad punt actually.

No worries mate I wasn't having a pop!

Always gonna be a long shot but at 66/1 after the derby game I had to stick some on

If I had to pick between Zabba and Vinny, I could't.

Vincent Kompany completed 5 take-ons today, more than Arsenal trio Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil & Aaron Ramsey combined (4).

Was brilliant today as we've come to expect but that's a great stat.

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

The best defender in the world. Hummels, Thiago Silva miles away of him. Simply amazing.

 

[AdamoTheGreat]

requesting a GIF of his magical run today. had me in stitches.

 

[Col12]

That run was classic, it just went on and on.. and then he looked up and thought 'fook what am I doing here'

 

[mammutly]

The only thing I am grateful to Mark Hughes for is bringing Vincent Kompany to the club. An absolutely outstanding talent at the peak of his career. I can't recall ever seeing a defender anywhere play better in the central role. Awesome.

 

[its a Barm]

Captain leader legend City loves him more than he knows, you know.

 

[Chi-town blues]

He can handle Yaya's role easily and have played in that position before.<br /><br />-- Sat Dec 14, 2013 1:53 pm --<br /><br />

and the funny Jack who couldn't get past him but instead humped on Vinny's legs :)

Not good enough to get on MOTD though.

So good to have the big man back.
