Rick James Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Didn't exactly work wonders at Anderlecht. will be interesting to see how he gets on. Going to say he'll be gone by Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to say he'll be gone by Christmas. Big picture he did well. They are a mess financially. He went in and they were 8th and he led them to 3rd this season. He also bled a lot of youngsters into the first team picture which will have long term effects you’d imagine. Style of play will be a strange one at Burnley, is he from the Pep school? Can’t say I have pleasant visions of Burnley counter pressing and playing a tiki taka style 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great defender back in this day so gotta think he will go with what he knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't looked into him too much tbf, and I seen they got to the Belgian Cup final, just remember reading the comments from fans on social media when he left and nobody seemed particularly saddened by his departure. I think he is tactically that way inclined, but being a defender you'd like to think he's got a bit of balance to his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboT Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Strange choice of role for Kompany, I'm sure Burnley are in a mess financially as the owners borrowed money against the club to buy the club (similar to Man Utd but on a smaller scale) and one clause of the loan is they have to pay a huge chunk back if they are relegated, I think it'll mean they'll need to use all of their parachute payment repaying some of the loan. The only other point would be I'm sure his wife is from Manchester so could be going there for family reasons.
