Why doesn't this world class coach, I don't know, actually coach Joe into the player he wants instead of just selling anyone that doesn't at first sight appear to be the correct player for his style. I see the advantage of a ball playing keeper and yes Bravo, Ter Stegen etc. are better at this but Hart is a top level keeper so will learn from training this and also the competition from another keeper like when he broke through.
As you can tell id be a little annoyed if Pep sold Hart it just seems like selling a HG keeper, we need HG players, that has a great history with the club just to sign another keeper who isn't a massive upgrade on Hart a little pointless and thinking to far into the Pep philosophy. I admit when he played Kolarov at cb I couldn't believe what I was seeing and i admit it made sense when seeing how we play, I'm 100% behind pep but I feel this is a bad move and I'm disappointed.
To be fair, you predicted decades of natural disasters, economic breakdowns and a war that ended in a nuclear holocaust but none of that happened.Maybe because the "world class coach has played against him a few times and know his weakness. Maybe said coach, knowing players have limitations, maybe just knows Hart cannot play with his feet?
Too many dinosaurs on here, football moves on
I don't think Caballero is better than Hart, most of the passes he made were simple and Hart can deliver these passes easily.
Hart is the heart of the team, and we should keep him.
Alex McLeish ( ex Birmingham manager) was on Sky Sports earlier this evening.
He said that when Joe was at Birmingham he would punch when he should catch. They coached it out of him and then he was OK.
Interesting.
We probably won't get that for him, not too many suitors that will pay 20m for a goalkeeper or who don't have their keeper position sorted with two weeks to go in the window. Loan, would be my guess. Anywhere he goes we won't get full value because buying team knows we want rid.£20,000,000 reported for joe is this some kind of sick joke
Surely Joe will want to go if he knows he is not no 1 if only for his England chances.
Bravo could be a stopgap for another big name coming up to a contract expiry and has got Txixi in place to get a deal done for next season.Has anyone actually seen Bravo or Ter Stergen play enough to know they're more suited to a sweeper keeper role?
I personally wouldn't be happy if we replaced a long time servant and very good keeper for a 33 year old in Bravo. Talk about sticking a plaster on what Pep must see as a missing limb.
What will be will be with this. In many respects it mirrors the Andy Dibble/Tony Coton debate all those years ago.
