Asked what qualities Churlinov will bring, Kompany added: “He is more versatile than that (winger).
"In this case he can play more positions, but let's not carried get carried away because I could spend half my press conference talking about a player that might not come.”
Kompany also spoke about speculation linking him with a loan move for young Manchester City striker Liam Delap: “We are talking about a very young player, so the last thing I want to do is start something.

"We have to get the balance between experience and young players.
"We have Scott Twine, Jay Rodriguez and Ashley Barnes, but we haven't had them all fit yet.
"We have to be careful we don't see a problem where there isn't one, but there is a problem when they are not fit of course!”
