Pick me up boys, I've fell off my chair!

Why? he has scored a 7 twice now in 4 games.

A clean sheet doesnt mean a player should get a 7 rating everytime.

Well he got a 6 after a great display against Liverpool.

Can't you just agree with me for once ?

Didnt watch the game so cant agree

I had him in a team, after reading this forum and seeing all the negative comments i took him out and replaced with shawcross

They talk shite on here sometimes.

Ouch bold choice.

Didn't fancy stoke this season myself and Kompany is looking not too bad soo far, he looks like he posseses great quality.

You thinking about putting him in TW1?

I will if he keeps playing, yes easy swap for shawcross.

Also putting him in some other teams might enable me to get rid of that boselli chap.

Also a few years back when he played for anderlect he was being touted as the next great central defender of european football.

Liverpool where very interested at one stage. Gutted he went to man city he would of been a great player at pool.

Since he has been in the premiership i havent really followed him hence the reason i listened to comments here.

Edit i signed him for liverpool in football manager and made him captain. Won the premiership 5 times and champions league 3 times with him

Did you get knighted?

You know how it is Tom, sometimes a good old fashioned rumour is better than hard fact.

Easier for us to moan about something we perceive or "we've heard or read".

Herc:
as for his "great" performance against Liverpool. Great? Was it really?
What did he did he do? He was up against an out of sorts Torres and a slightly lost N'Gog. Both of whom were starved of service. Both of whom we're backed up by a load of inept team mates. Exactly how "great" did Kompany have to play? Its not as if he was stopping wave after wave of attack. Or constantly cutting out balls to the front two.

Just my opinion of course.

No need im already a lord

Edit. Not a gaylord b4 anyone says.

Yeah, a gaylord

Edit. Ooops never noticed that was the first thing that popped into your head aswell

Always disheartening when you see your players have a chance of getting points when perhaps not expected to play, e.g. Johnson and Dann Vs the mighty Rochdale. Not only did Brum not keep a clean sheet, they didn't even get any ratings - such a waste.

As for Kuyt.......reported by The Sun as wanting to leave, then after scoring a goal he openly commits himself to the club when interviewed, but only gets a poxy 6 rating. I'm not saying players should get ratings for off the field stories but may have been a worthy headline star man, after all I thought that what the star man lark was all about. eff chap.
