We were just lucky Vinny Kompany managed to see out the game before without getting injured or City would of also stepped up there interest in him too. I think we all have our fingers crossed Kompany can stay fit until the transfer window closes because for me City are more likely to sign him than Chelsea because he looks a deffo Pep type of player and the apparent heir to Kompany's throne...
Apparently he says he only wants to goto Liverpool for some reason...... if someone makes a bid it will be interesting, as maybe that is what we are waiting for, as then we have not instigated the move?
i find it quite bizzare that a player would rather play for us rather than Chelsea or City, why do you think he would do this because from what I have seen he seems a confident enough lad so surely he backs his own ability to get in say a Chelsea or City team unless he wants a guaranteed shoe in place which he would get with us. For me players who don't try to be the best they can or are frightened to step out of there comfort zone are players that lack ambition, Le Tissier, Gerrard, Totti, and Shearer all fell into that category...
I'm as mystified as you why he wants to join us, its not down to money, wherever he go's he will earn a fortune and I'm sure City or Chelsea would outpay us if required to get him.
The reports are he met Klopp and buys into the his plan, so I am guessing Klopp has told him he will build the defence/team around him, being his rock, where as at Chelsea or City he will be just one of the defenders as they have players worth as much/if not more?
Maybe he fancies the glory of winning the league with us after 30 years, compared to the recent success of City & Chelsea? it's a big risk as highly unlikely to happen, he grew up in Holland, so we were the big club in th 70's & 80's, where as City and Chelsea were unknowns internationally really, so maybe he remembers us then?
As for the
'lack ambition, Le Tissier, Gerrard, Totti, and Shearer', I would add maybe they had loyalty, something sadly lacking in the modern game for most players?
