Kompany is attempting to tighten up a side leaking more than two goals a game with the deadline-day loan signings of defenders Lorenz Assignon and Maxime Esteve.
And the Burnley boss is adamant that their recruitment over the course of the last two windows works irrespective of how the season finishes.
