I think it is a better strategy than betting on old expensive players with limited resale value, seems quite sensible really
Absolutely agree. However, I read an article where Kompany said something along the lines that they have one year to get back up or they may fall back down the table. Youth is a great strategy for long-term sustainability, but a bit of a gamble for an immediate return to the top flight.

I can't see he'll have any problems, very gifted player.
I agree is a good player...but is he the right fit for that team though? Will he start for them? I dont know.

Watched him in the play off semi he was ineffectual ..(wycombe did a job on him) in the biggest game of the season he flopped. players in the championship are bigger stronger quicker and not to mention a bit cleverer. A bit like how Ohare gets kicked every game.

But maybe the point of it isn't actually a gamble on an immediate return but more of a hedge

That would be the only question mark for me, he could walk into any team in the league imo.

Kompany has previously been a pretty rigid 4-4-2 man which wouldn't suit him at all. Think he needs to adapt to get the best out of players like McNeil anyway though so think he'll be pragmatic.

I think he comes across well in this, he’ll be a good manager and no doubt will have learnt a lot from Pep but that’s a Burnley squad very much in Dyches image and you won’t be able to change it over night.

Maybe. Be interesting to see if Kompany is the right choice to get them up right away. Dyche I think probably would have got them promoted with a much different approach. Thought Sheff Utd would batter their way up last year but turned out to be more of a cultured footballing side which surprised me.
