Vinnie Kompany The End ?

[Clowncrete]

Another classic thread in the making.

I doth say

It's like we have been transported back to 2013. The only thing missing is Ted Hughes jumping in.

ST how the fuck you get an ST from a website, does that mean I might have monkey virus..... Fucks sake.

And we didn't buy a centre-half...

it's a good job we're not playing a team with a dynamic forward line this saturday

We do have £130m of centre back talent to choose from though. Perm any 2 from Mangala, Stones and Otter. Now, all seems better again.

Yes and the leader is??

Not saying being an ex-Rag is a good thing by any means but I was staggered by the number of people who couldn't see why we wanted Evans.

[sheblue]

He might be fit, then again probably not.

Is this a City football forum ?

Your audacity to bring the Cityness of this forum into question shines a light on the briefness of your involvement. Had the duress of your stay been longer, you would not lack knowledge of this internecine argument between Swales, our Italian equivalent of Don Quixote, and - let us be Frank (but not Thaskin) - everyone else. This Crustacean conflict started small, but has grown to behemothian proportions. This latest barrage is but a breeze compared to some of the storms of the past.

I hope that cleared it up for you, mate!

Clear as a bottle of shit mate. Thanks.

It's some place this,so glad I'm here.

Are we really all City fans.

Some have us as a second team and there's suspicions of some not having us st all.

Oh.......it's like Royston Vasey on here.

Or Stoke.

If he's fit, great. If he's not, it might force us into playing 4,4,2 which I don't think would be a bad set up against scouse 2

Anyone but a rag John. Jesus H Christ. This is Manchester City F.C NO RAGS EVER POLICY SHOULD BE SET IN STONE.

I can't see Vince being risked with the Champs league game just around the corner. Personally I would go for 4-2-3-1 with two midfielders in the centre in front of the back 4. If we don't set up solid they will rip us to bits, but I can't see Pep setting us up to properly. Vince is definitely out btw.

Ok he's out.
Two in front of a back 4 (yaya and fern) two Silvas kev and the son of god.

Injured ????....well cover me in fucking mustard and call me a fucking hot dog!!..of course hes fuckign injured , it was never a fuckign '' precaution''...he got injured AGAIN for his national team.

I dont know how many times its been said , with his injury record he should have done the decent thing and focused on CITY and CITY only and retired from that INTERNATIONAL setup a long time ago - his weak frame cannot take so many matches..obvious to all and sundry minus him.!!

Im tried of him indirectly letting us down and Im tired of our so called geniuses at CITY who never went hells bells to replace him in the summer.

Wankers.

[City64]

Ederson going to be busy , let's see how good he really is . Dippers defence a shambles Aguero and Jesus could run riot , it's got 4 -2 city all over this GET ON !

In fairness to Belgium it was a big game against Gibraltar. If they hadn't of risked Vince, they may not have won 9-0.

It's a Greek tragedy but a calf not a heel...

"I am sad. The last seven eight, nine games last season he played no problem. Pre-season, we took care of him and he played all three games. Now, unfortunately, we've lost him, but we will try and get him fit as soon as possible.

"The window is over. We thought we might need another one but we have Mangala, and Tosin and other players who can play that position."

So Tosin stays?

Tosin stays but there is a hint that someone else may get the gig at centre half.

[Wonderwall]

Gundo is back in contention

I think Pep may revert to a 4-2-3-1 for this one

Ederson

Walker Stones Otter Mendy

Fernandinho Danilo

Bernardo Silva KDB

Jesus

Bench
Bravo
Tosin
Mangala
Gundo
Sane
Yaya
Aguero

I like that WW. I was thinking Danilo and Fern as defensive cover, as this match could be too fast for Yaya or Ilkay to start. I may also punt for Mangala instead of Stones, only because JS dithers on the ball to often and to long and if the dippers come flying out at 120mph it could cause us problems. The same could be said of Mang's, but he's physically stronger

It all started when he got injured while playing for Belgium when Mancini was the manager. He had just been out with 1 or 2 niggling injuries and decides to jam in a national team game while recovering. Got him self injured again and has never been the same since

[dick dastardley]

Should have knocked intl football in the head to prolong his club career, let's hope whoever plays does the business

[FA cup winners 2006]

Can see why he still wants to be involved at international level but he better not even think about heading off on the october internationals.

It would seem his calf is his Achilles Heel JC
