Vinny joins Anderlecht as player/manager (Simon Davies follows him)

[Lemon7277]

Gutted but what a way to go out and create a legacy...

 

[carlosthejackal]

Gutted , nothing but admiration for the man, can’t imagine not having him at the club

 

[sam 1980]

Sad sad day for the club but what a way to bow out

 

[bondsman]

can’t replace the best cb in the world. We wouldn’t have won the league had that man not declared himself fit and done what he did in the last 6 games. Gutted.

 

[BucksBlue]

I hope he moves to 10 Downing street, the White House or the Kremlin. The world would be much safer and joyous for us all.
Love you Vinny.

 

[lightning Rodri]

All the best to the legend !! :(

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

Here's to you Vincent Kompany
We will miss you more than you can know

 

[mancityvstoke]

Can't he stay and be a brilliant ambassador? ffs....don't want him to go and cannot imagine him in a different kit

 

[Hesperus]

Gutted. He could have done another year with us. Been a colossus for us the moment he set foot on the pitch. Hope he stays connected to he club in some capacity.

What a downer after yesterday....

God my hayfever is bad this morning..... :(

 

[domalino]

I feel like we should have seen this coming from the start of the season with the testimonial announced ages ago, but for whatever reason I just never thought the rumours were true, even when he was so emotional after Leicester etc.

Hes gonna leave such a void on the pitch and off it.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

He's been here from the start of this new era and produced so many big moments. It's going to leave a big hole not only in the dressing room but at the club. I couldn't have asked for a more eloquent, humble or intelligent leader to represent our club for the last decade. If anyone deserves a statue outside the Etihad, it's Vincent Kompany.

 

[moomba]

Gutted

 

[TheBlueDune]

The right decision at the perfect time, much like his football.

Yes. Better a year too early than a year too late.
Would have hated to see him struggling to justify his place when his body couldn't handle it.
He leaves us at the top.

Leader. Legend. Hero.

 

[manimanc]

I've only ever got upset about one city player leaving us and that was Paul lake.
Vinny is the second.
I'm absolutely devoed .

 

[lightning Rodri]

 

[vin]

An announcement on Vincent’s next steps will follow imminently.

What does that mean at the end???

It means he’s not retiring IMO

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Sad to see him go, but you really couldn't script it better, winning goal in his last home match and lifts a trophy in each of his last two games.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

What a shame we will miss his leadership on and off the pitch.

I hope he replaces one of those scouse ****s on sky sports

 

[Mid Wales blue]

I have just stood up with slightly wet eyes in complete silence, and the only thought is of thanks!

Here’s to you Vincent Kompany xxx
