Vincent Kompany is not an everyday football person, he has a stellar CV as a player, both in the Premier League and at international level. He went back to his hometown club as player-manager, before moving to Burnley where he got promotion at the first attempt. After a season in the Premier League with limited players, he now wants to have a crack at a bigger club. It seems like an obvious career move that would have been carefully planned, and there's no way he would be going backwards with another season in the Championship.
