Goddamned Kompany. Heartbreaking. Sorry to say this on a Chelsea forum again, but I genuinely feel bad for him now. He works so fucking hard and it's just over and out. If he's forced to retire, I'd kick Wilmots out and make him NT manager in a heartbeat. 

He's this generation's Ledley King. Brilliant defender but he'll continue to be plagued. Perhaps I hold King in a higher regard, but that's on a personal preference more than anything. But, like King, Kompany will go down as one of the potentially best who's career of injuries blighted an otherwise great record.

I just want him to get at least one more chance to go for an international cup. I don't think he'll get it though. That's why I want to see him lead the national team should he retire. Image they make it. I'd cry like a bitch. Best story ever. :P

Well I wouldn't go that far :lol:, but yeah it would be good for someone like that to get a taste of the big time glory. I don't think he'll see City win the CL tbh, who knows how patient Guardiola is willing to be with him. He trusts his players through injury, but Komany is someone he's not yet all too familiar with. They're already linked to buying Laporte, who himself is sidelined with a broken leg until October.

I really think he's finished on the top level. I don't know how many years he's still under contract but they can't risk losing a defender after 5 minutes in every big match...

Incredible to think the sums they've spent on the calibre of player and they still can't fill in for him. Mangala, Otamendi, Savic, Nastasic, Boateng, Demichelis etc 

We've wasted our fair share of talent, but that's a list of centre backs alone :lol:

Don't hear them moaning because they let go Boateng.
But hey, they buy so many expensive players, fans are used to this, lol.

Can see them winning it.only English club left blah blah magic

Please no :(

It was unbearable enough when they almost won the PL. You can just see it now, if they win the EL (beating Sevilla too, the 2/2 champions) they'll use the back story of overcoming Dortmund and Villarreal. Then they'll find a way to include Hillsborough and for the entire summer all you have to hear is how the myth of the "famous of European nights at Anfield" will return in the Champions League -_-.

Hope Sevilla go on to win it anyway, would be incredible if they can make it 5 in 5 3 in 3 years!

Uh, they've only won it the last two years. The year before those was our Europa League win and the year before that was Atletico Madrid.

Sturridge and Can starting is huge. Fingers crossed that they get the job done!

Hell no, I hope those scum get embarrassed off the pitch today. Nothing would make me happier than hearing the collective groans followed by moments of silence in disbelief at the utter shit that's on show. Those supporters deserve only that and I hope Villareal give it to them.

Huh, wonder where I thought of 5 :lol:. 3/3 in that case!

They've won 4 total, 2 in 2006 and 2007 and 2 in 2014 and 2015. That's probably where.

Looking at the winners, there's more reason to not want Liverpool to win it. They would tie Sevilla for number of wins at 4.
