Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says it is only a matter of time before the club complete a record haul of four major trophies in a season.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini wants to mark his debut season in England by securing all four trophies they are in.

And Kompany, 27, says it is inevitable that City will do the quadruple at some stage in the near future.

"We can't promise it will happen now, but eventually it will have to happen," said the Belgium defender.

"We are the players at the moment who have been chosen to do it. If it's not us then it will be other players.

"This club definitely has a target to win every competition possible."

Pellegrini's side are second in the Premier League table, lead West Ham 6-0 after the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final and
face Barcelona in the Champions League last 16.

They progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday with a 5-0 replay victory over Blackburn Rovers.

City's neighbours Manchester United secured the treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in 1998-99.

Kompany also credits Pellegrini, who replaced Roberto Mancini as manager last summer, with the greater attacking intent City have shown this season.

City have scored 99 goals this season from 33 matches and average four goals a game at home, with 64 from 16 fixtures.

"He's very offensive-minded and I think that's shown in our results and the way we play," Kompany said.

"I think we have been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League so far."

Nice to see everyone so confident .

Very unlike VK to be so bold, he normally plays everything down. I dont like to see our players in the press especially with quotes that make us look arrogant.

Already had stick at work for this!

What happened to a game at a time?

Made me cringe. Very disrespectful.

I agree, this shite talk is getting out of hand, the media won't let it go now.
This team will not win quadruple.

this is fucking stupid, as are the players'/manager's repeated comments about barca being "scared" or weaker than they were 2-3 years ago. I wish we would just STFU and do our talking on the pitch!

Has he actually said this or is it twisted by the journo? Very silly and naive if he has come out with this and surprising as well.

The word quadruple needs banning everywhere. Now. Quickly.

Agreed. Its a big stick for people to hit us with if and when we dont do it. Would prefer us to remain quiet and dignified.

We've been quite chatty on the pitch, tbh

HaHa

Why the doubt.

Have a drive past the new training complex , look at what has been achieved so far.

Enough Said

B*ll*x

What Pellers actually said was "We try to win every competition we enter"Rag journos turn it into Pellegrini says Man City are going to win the quadruple.

Agree, makes us sound like rags

Daft statement. If you offered me 1 trophy now Id snap your hands off. Its sounds arrogant and that isnt who we are at all.

Wait until youve won things and then theres no need to talk as the silver in the trophy cabinet does the talking for you.

Its vital this team does win something tangible this season, starting in March. Otherwise we are Keegans Newcastle team of 1996.

Your dead right and the cunts have put a right spin on his comments.It's pretty sad that they have to stoop so low.Most non city fans will lap this up and gladly go along with portraying us as an arrogant bunch.

The league and one cup this season will do nicely. Don't need teams having more reasons to raise their game against City.

I think both of you need to reread some of the quotes. As the thread title suggests, this isn't about Pellegrini's words, but Kompany's (if true).

And Kompany, 27, says it is inevitable that City will do the quadruple at some stage in the near future.
"We can't promise it will happen now, but eventually it will have to happen," said the Belgium defender.

It's a given we'll achieve something no other club in this country has achieved before? What, because we have the owners with the deepest pockets? We haven't even won the damn Champions League yet, but the quadruple is a certainty? Because, you know, everything always goes according to plan, as history has taught us.

Shocking.
