Pep to sell Vinny K
Bayern Munich boss wants to axe the skipper to rebuild his new side
PEP Guardiola has instructed Txiki Begiristain to bring an end to Vincent Kompany’s Manchester City career by placing the club’s captain on the transfer market.City’s incoming manager wants to overhaul the club’s defence, calculating that it is better to clear the decks for a new central defensive partnership rather than keep Kompany on board.
The Belgium international has started just 12 Premier League games this season having suffered a series of muscular injuries.
Kompany’s once-dominant performances have declined in recent campaigns as he has lost pace and confidence as a result of repeated problems.
Guardiola has always preferred more technically capable defenders and has asked City to prioritise the purchase of Athletic Bilbao’s France under-21 centre back Aymeric Laporte as a replacement for the Belgian.
Instead of retaining Kompany as a back-up to Laporte, the Catalan coach wants the centre back sold to avoid the possibility of dressing room dissent. And to send a message that no one is guaranteed a place in his first City squad.
Kompany was elected to the PFA’s Premier League Team of the Year in 2011, 2012 and 2014, but his struggle with injuries have seen his effectiveness rapidly decline.
City are expected to clear out several other players in the close season.

I know this is a bit of a continuation from yesterday, but it seems it's a clear indication that Vinnys days with us could be numbered.

Re: Pep to sell Vinny K
I hope he doesn't sell Vinny. I really can't see Vinny causing issues in the dressing room - he's a proper leader.
It'd be different if he asked to leave if he wasn't guaranteed a starting place when fit...I think everyone would wish him well and thank him, but I'd be surprised if Pep wanted to just get rid immediately.

Re: Pep to sell Vinny K
This to me smacks of the the sun setting up a story. The dust hasn't even settled on Tuesday's game Pep has already stated he is focusing on Bayern until the end of the season which is only 8 weeks away. He will then have another 5 weeks to assess the situation & address our issues before pre season, If Vinny has a successful euro's it would be a bit premature of pep to start spouting now about his fitness until he has the full details on the player.
