City are on the verge of completing an agreement to sign Marc-André ter Stegen from Barcelona this summer. [Telegraph]

Ter Stegen has much better distribution than hart

 

[sam-caddick]

looks like we are in for him at 20m as well.

would we really spend that much on a back-up?

either way, joe will definitely have serious competition next season.

i do wonder whether joe will thrive under pep, we will see.

While Ter Stegen is one of the best young keepers out there, it doesnt really make a lot of sense for him. He might just find himself in the same situation as at Barcelona.

 

[Falcao]

Hart isn't a Guardiola type of keeper, not great with his feet or quick off his line.

makes you wonder what we have offered him, i.e. first team football.

to apparently turn down liverpool and fellow german klopp for our bench doesn't make sense to me, especially as we are reportedly willing to pay 20m for him.

makes you wonder what pep has in mind regarding hart.

Would be a good signing. Top quality back up who could genuinely give Joe a run for his money. Simply put, if it happens he's in a fight to stay number one which can only benefit us.

Maybe Pep doesn't rate Hart's distribution or just wants to give him competition big time. If we are willing to spend £20m on goalkeeper then we know City will have a big budget this summer

Ilkay Gundogan has also snubbed Liverpool advances in favour of a move to Pep Guardiola's City this summer. [Telegraph]

I like Joe, he's quality, and has a great attitude. Plus we need all the English players we can get with the homegrown rule, it'd be pointless buying another top keeper, we just need a reasonable back up.

the article says Ter Stegen will compete with Hart, so wont affect HG quotas

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Telegraph says we are close to sealing a deal for around 20 million. To compete with joe, not replace him. Thoughts?

Centre back maybe?:))

 

[Phil1]

It's a yes from me.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Yes

 

[BlueBlood81]

Yeh go on then :)

 

[bluemoon98]

£20 m to sit on the bench? I know at barca he only plays cup games but Christ

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Great goalie, young and a pep type player too. My only worry is what does this mean for angus gunn, who is only 3 years younger

 

[moomba]

Can't see him and Hart at the club going well. One or the other, I'd prefer Hart.
