Personally I think Kompany definitely is going to be a top coach.

I used to believe that, truly, but of late I'm thinking of it like this: use a r...

They're in the Premier League but they're not Premier League players. Utter w@ank all over the park. There's only Foster and Koleosho who legitimately look the part. Odobert has a good career in front of him, and I like Beyer a lot, but as for the rest I don't see PL teams coming in for them.
