How good can Kompany become?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

i'm not one for sweeping statements but imo the guy can be one of the top PL centre halves. has it all, pace, strength, reading of the game. just needs to cut the odd silly error out and he will be a rock.

that's the thing, he has all the basic attributes to be really top player. The one's that are hardest to teach.

It's funny though, I remember seeing him as teenager for Anderlecht and he stood out even back then. I actually expected him to be one of the best in the world by now, so technically he is little behind in his development for me!!

I posted a few weeks back, after the Chelsea slaughter, that we had 4 top class playes, VK being one. IIRC, I got a mixed response. I stand by what I said then, VK is top class. He will improve more as he ages and will be one of the best CBs in the owrld, imo. Captain next season? Obviously!

He looked brilliant then. Chelsea and the Scum were sniffing for a year or so before his injuries and before he went to Hamburg.

Fact is, we are better defensively with Vinny in there than without him.

not much better he doesnt have a football brain

is that a joke??

It has to be. Kompany will be a top top player no doubt about it.

I always wonder if people are being serious or taking the piss with the old Jamie/Twitchy Redknapp "top, top player" assessment
