Super Joey Hart?

[InMyLifetime-BaconChops]

Without doubt he is one of my favourite City players, and arguably most consistent - no chance I want him leaving, with all this speculation from the Telegraph about Ter Stegen etc...

But the question is; how good actually is he?
We need a keeper who can save us between 5-10 points a season,
And whilst he hasn't made any blatant mistakes this season, has he saved us any points?
His ability is undeniable, like the save at Swansea away last season...but his shots to save ratio was 8th in the Premier League in January...given our recent form this has properly decreased.

I often find myself saying he could have probably done better; Liverpool away, United home...

I can't decide whether Ter Stegen coming will be a good thing; ie more competetion, potentially better keeper...but I couldn't bare seeing an Chelsea Courtois/Cech scenario...

What do you think?

Keep Hart, promote Gunn to no.2.

Get Eric Steele out of retirement to help Joe with distribution.

Doing the above frees up another 'foreign' player spot rather than losing another which is the outcome from the OP's post.

I think you've answered your own question. And the answer is not good enough.

Is Gunn Ready to be number two? I've no idea btw, haven't seen enough of him.

 

[bluemoon98]

I think this season he's made a few mistakes which did or could of cost us in that game (Norwich home, Liverpool away)

Positives:

Vocal
Leader
Shot stopping

Negatives:

Corners (punching or catching)
Distribution
Ball at his feet

Don't think he's ready to better Willy at Wembley but he could do a pretty good job if needed for a couple of games and he's a 'home-grown' player too.

We may struggle should Joe be out for months but club fuck up on CH with MDM/Daynaer so may as well risk this one.

How isn't he?

Fucking idiots who want rid of him simple as.

This.

And the other point about Gunn.

Promote him, give him a loan in championship for a season to see if he hack it. If he can we develop him as a future England number 1 as we've done with Joe.

very much the no. 1 , should not be leaving under any circumstances ...until we are getting neuer.

Interesting to note Buffon naming Hart in his Premier League XI last week.

As for saving us points, his save from Smalling in the last minute of the Derby at the swamp springs to mind for starters.

Exactly.

Keepers improve as they get older and that's all Joe will do.

We've slagged de donut off for saving the shite many times but Joe has saved us too.

 

[wolfie1988]

I can't believe we'd be looking to replace Joe when the squad has massive holes in it elsewhere. He's the least of our problems.

As for his save to shot ratio....He's left for dead constantly by that excuse for a manager who plays the strangest, most baffling defensive tactics I've ever seen at top level football
