Where are they now? Man City’s final XI before Sheikh Mansour takeover

[mrn1981]

Just think how far we’ve come as a team and a club:

Where are they now? Man City's last XI before Sheikh Mansour's takeover

He only played 9 games for us? Seemed like a lot more to me.

“After scoring the thunderbastard that clinched City the 2018-19 Premier League title, Kompany returned to Anderlecht as player-manager and is now attempting to turn Burnley into Barcelona.”

I can't remember him ever playing except in pointless cup matches as a sub. Think people hate on him for how shit he was for other teams as he was basically invisible for me. Struggling to recall a particular 'bad' game or incident he was a major part of.

Underhit a back pass to Joe Hart away at Hull which resulted in Joe injuring his ankle in a challenge with their forward and having to be replaced as a result.
