Just confirmed his last season with city. Gutted

Gutted.

Gutted...... But wonder whats the next part of the letter.

An Open Letter to the fans.
PART 1 of 2

Dear all,

Community Shield Winners!
Back 2 back League Cup Winners!
Back 2 back Champions of England!
FA Cup Winners!

We’ve just seen the close of an incredible season.
My 11th as a Blue.
And I cannot believe I’m writing this but ... also my last as a Blue.
Countless of times have I imagined this day, after all, the end has felt nearby for so many years.
It still doesn’t feel real.
Man City has given me everything.
I’ve tried to give back as much as I possibly could.
How often does someone get the chance to end such an important chapter, representing a club with such great history and tradition, in such a great fashion?

The time has come for me to go now.

As overwhelming as it is, I feel nothing but gratefulness.
I am grateful to all those who supported me on a special journey, at a very special club.
I remember the first day, as clear as I see the last.
I remember the boundless kindness I received from the people of Manchester.

I will never forget how all Man City supporters remained loyal to me in good times and especially bad times. Against the odds you have always backed me and inspired me to never give up.

Sheikh Mansour changed my life and that of all the City fans around the world, for that I am forever grateful. A blue nation has arisen and challenged the established order of things, I find that awesome.
I cherish the counsel and leadership of a good human being, Khaldoon Al Mubarak. Man City could not be in better hands.

It’s cliché to say it but it’s also so true: without my teammates I would have never been here today. We fought many battles together. Side by side. In good times and in bad. So to all of you, from the 2008-2009 squad to today’s domestic Treble winners: I owe you guys!

A special word also to Pep and the backroom staff: you’ve been superb. You’ve followed me through so much hardship. You made me come back stronger every time. Thank you so much.

I also want to use this platform to express the love that I have for my nearest and dearest.
It knows no boundaries. Carla, Sienna, Sire and Kai, the one and only quadruple that matters.
My dad (Pierre), Christel and François, my true Invincibles.
I live with only one regret. I would have loved to take my mother, Jocelyne, to the Etihad, seeing her chant the City songs sat next to my children and wife. I would have wanted her to see me happy, playing the game that I love at a club that I love. Deep down, I know she’s been with us through all this time.

Part 2 of this open letter, about my future, will follow shortly …

Absolute legend. Can’t wait to see him represent us in the media.

That makes me want to cry.

Absolutely gutted.

Must have decided a while back. I can’t picture him playing for anyone else.

Given Mang a year but not Vinny. Embarrassing.

I think he has taken the decision boys. And in true MCFC tradition we have to accept it. Football is highs and lows, this is both xxxxxxx Vinny.

"A blue nation has arisen and challenged the established order of things, I find that awesome."

Say no more Vinny.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

There's more to this I think. The cryptic part two to follow.

What a way to go out. The very highest of highs.

You have nothing but my most upmost respect, admiration and gratitude for all you have done for my club. I salute you, sir

HERE TO YOU VINCENT KOMPANY CITY LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOU WILL KNOW
CAPTAIN FANTASTIC FOR 11 YEARS
WE BOW TO YOU SIR
END OF A LEGEND

What a player, you will be missed captain.

Wonder where is he going now.

Doing a line at this time?!

MY HERO MY CAPTAIN

A Blue Nation. I like that.

I hope that bloke Obi Wan, he returns 'more powerful than you can possibly imagine'

I was expecting it, but still a bit upset to read about it to be honest. Best of luck to him whatever he chooses to do now, and I presume it will be a role within the City family (preferably here in Manchester). Thanks for everything big man, especially the memories (which will last me a lifetime).
