What a ridiculous thing to say.

I've seen it a ridiculous amount recently. "Only played 7 la liga games in 2 years" "Barcelona's cup keeper" etc.

I don't know if people are being deliberately stupid, or if they just looked at Wikipedia for 5 seconds and saw the league appearance stats.
 
FWIW, someone I know and trust told me in all seriousness before game yesterday that someone he deemed reliable had told him Ter Stegen had signed for City. Obviously, he can't actually have signed for us but I suppose a deal could be in place but it is not a done deal.

If we are going to replace Hart as #1, TS would seem to be the best option, if we can pry him away from Barca.

He agreed terms with us, by all accounts, and took news of this offer to the Barca big wigs to show them that he was serious about wanting to be number one or wishing to leave.

But he certainly hasn't signed, we're a long way off agreeing a fee with Barca and it's not even clear if they'd be willing to sell, or even what decision they've come to about the number one status.

Could see this dragging on all the way to deadline day.
 
With Ter Stegen out and a deal very unlikely, instead of going for a stop gap in Bravo I'd rather see us go all out to bring back Schmeichel. He will basically be a free spot in the squad list and is decent with his distribution


Who has stated Ter Stgen is out and what makes you think if we simply click our fingers Casper would tell Leicester to do one and come to us?
 
I don't think Barca would be too reluctant to sell for a decent price. Both keepers want more minutes, which they would have here. TS won't be injured for that long, (2 weeks IIRC), which they could sign a good keeper like Diego Alves.
 
Hart can stay 12 months as No.2 or offski, that's what is on the table.

That's the way it has been since Pep signed.

Hart would normally hedge his bets but his England place is also in the mix.

It will go right to the wire in terms of Hart remaining a City player in this window.

Caballero is also waiting to hear.

Such is the lack of faith in Hart, I'm certain Pep was happy to wait on Ter Stegen or Bravo.

Pep has called this absolutely right.

He's too good to be a No2 and it would kill his England career. I don't think his ego will let him either.

Is there a realistic 3rd option being considered if we can't get one of the Barca pair Tolm?

Someone like Westwood from Sheffield Wednesday wouldn't be a bad shout, for me.

Hart's played his last game for us, in my veiw

He would lose his England place for a year probably.

Butland would take over in a few months if hart was number 2, but if Hart did the hard work and improved like pep said he can in his last press conference, then hart could potentially force his way back into the city and England side in a year's time.

So it's up to him by the sounds of it.

I hope so, because we have been very deliberate in how this has played out, and must have had some very strong assurances that we have the replacement boxed.

Hart has never stood a chance with Pep because he isn't good enough for what he wants and never will be.

Ruthless.

Was the story true of joe smashing something yesterday in tunnel after he heard he was dropped ?

It can't be denied that his performances have deteriorated steadily over the last 18 months, or so, but, has his supposed "influence in the dressing room" also had any bearing on Pep's decision?

Don't be ridiculous
That is not his character and he would have known long before he was in the tunnel and he wouldn't be stupid enough to do it in front of anyone even if he did.I'm dismayed people are posting bad stuff about him,respect for the last 10yrs is sadly lacking
Not aimed at you by the way
