Joe Hart

I'm delighted to see he still has good time for his ex clubs. It must have been very disappointing for him to have left us, seemingly for his kicking and distribution.

Top bloke Joe. One of the nicest, kindest "famous" people I've ever met. Has the time for anybody who wants to talk to him

He also loves City more than anybody will ever realise. He really didn't want to leave

Then, he should have tried to carry out Pep's instructions.

Don’t get me wrong; I loved Joe as much as anyone, but as an experienced professional, he would have been in no doubt who the boss was.

Think he did try mate and just couldn't. Think Joe would be the first to admit he just wasn't able to. Don't forget we then brought the human hologram in that was Claudio Bravo. Neither Joe or Pep covered themselves in glory. From reading about it a bit seems Pep had already earmarked Claudio as City's number 1 before he had even arrived

Probably because he knew Joe’s limitations and Claudio's abilities.
 
Early days in his media career but the level of his analysis is excellent and he's great from a City perspective as well. Great to see a modern day legend of the club fighting our corner.
 
Has immense love for city and never tries to hide it or play it down. He'll be an excellent pundit and will champion city better any anybody else in punditry.

I think people wouldn't want to admit it but Pep was determined to break the power of the old boys, so Joe "learning" how to play out from the back wouldn't have saved him, same with Yaya, he knew his time was up the moment Pep walked in, lets not forget Vinny and Kun also had it rough when Pep first arrived but I guess common sense eventually prevailed as Pep knew pushing out 4 of the big 5 would have had a negative impact on the team.

And Pep needed VK's leadership qualities on his side in his early years here.

Sergio had enough about him to adapt to what Pep wanted him to do.
 
Big Joe is a legend and loved by us too. What a guy. About four years ago maybe five, I stared on here all he needed was a club and support to put their arms around him and he would do a job. I suggested that club was Celtic and it worked out as I predicted. He’s a great pundit and will defend and stick up for us both. Love the big ****.

Thanks for reminding me of Bravo, i'd almost managed to forget about him

I also think Pep knew Joe was a major voice in the camp, Pep could not let anybody stand up to him and show who's boss straight away, Joe Hart could have played in the team and learned quickly about the new system.

But I think Joe battled with Pep from day one and there's only going to be one winner Pep

I thought it was just to do with his kicking and passing.Add on his average at best form after seasons of being great did not help.
