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

All things come to an end in life. You just have to look back and be glad of the good times. He'll be missed very much. What a legend.

The difference in respect between RAWK and RedCafe is staggering.

RedCafe putting rivalry aside and recognising Kompany as a 'great footballer and leader', 'club legend' etc. and RAWK, well I'm not going to spoil this thread with the utter disrespectful crap from there.

Let's not whitewash red cafe. Some very biased and man city hating rags there too. But I agree Rawk is a seriously deluded cult of festering cesspool of rat dung.
 
I reckon he could’ve stayed on, really upsetting news to wake up to this morning. Think this leaves us in a very difficult position as well. De Ligt is off to Barca and there aren’t really any top CBs around who are available. Really hope we don’t sign Maguire, he would be exposed in our system. Way too slow.
 
he always makes the right decisions hes gone out top of the game,the only sad bit is we wont see him smash the champions league trophy over gills head
 
Just read the news, & to say I'm stunned & gutted is an understatement. Kompany's statement made me well up inside.

Nothing beats the sight of Captain Kompany leading our team out, & into battle. I knew this day would come, but it still doesn't make today any easier.

The man is a true City legend & embodies our transformation from a laughing stock, into what many people are calling the best English football club team ever.

Thanks Captain, I will never ever forget what you've done for City...
 
He is so much more than a footballer. His veins run with blue blood. As we say in Yiddish he’s 100% a ‘mench’.

Eloquent, passionate and grounded. He was/is an absolutely perfect spokesperson for our club.

Not sure about using past tense. He hasn’t passed away.

It’s things like going to a pub and celebrating with fans etc that make him real. A captain for the people. A gentleman and a legend.

Alas time waits for no man or woman. We have had an incredible season and he’s had an incredible stint with us. This is not a time for tears. It’s a time to celebrate what this colossus of a man has brought to City- and all our lives.

The City machine will roll on. As one door closes another opens- and opens onto a brighter, more incredible future for us all. The foundations and passion that this man has laid down will be forever etched in the green green grass of our home.

He will always be a blue.

Thank you VK.

There's good and bad in all supporter groups including ours but there's no doubt that next to Liverpool United look pretty good. Not even a doubt in my mind I'd want United to beat Liverpool.

Way too slow is one problem, being shit is the other
 
I think we had an inkling that it was on the cards during the lap of honour after the Leicester game. Vinnie was very emotional, so it’s not a total surprise, but the way he’s been playing lately, I thought he might be given another year.

We all know nothing lasts for ever, but VK has been a part of the club for so long, it will seem a little strange to have him no longer around.

I wish him the very best in whatever he decides to do, but I’m sure he will be back at Manchester City before very long.

11 September will be another very emotional night.
 
Have to admit there's a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

The term legend does seem to do justice to what he means to us.
 
Gutted, a massive man who has guided us through these last 6/7 games of torture. Sorry to see him leave, every Blue possible should be at the parade tomorrow to honour this great man and this great team.
 
As stupid and as obvious as it seems, I've just realised we're on the cusp of the Old Guard of the New Revolution coming to an end!!

I think I've taken it for granted that Vin, David and Kun would be here in some capacity in the future.

The baton is about to be handed over as The Defiant Ones go walking quietly into the night.

Yes, it's obvious but it's also surreal for me.

Just hope we get players that learn to understand the club as they have and do.
