I am not sure Joe's distribution has been that much of an issue until now. With City buying Stones and playing out from the back we need a keeper who can pass it around the back.
It looks like Bravo is signing and Joe is staying for the moment too. In an ideal world, Joe develops his game, and City get three top keepers. That's what happens at top clubs, you get challenged and have to improve.
I felt a bit bad for Joe Hart because he wasn't getting much of an opportunity to develop and improve, but now he will have that. However we are City fans first and foremost so if we are going to sign one of Europe's top keepers which is going to help City continue to improve then that's good.[/QUOTE\]
Joe ain't staying, you can keep repeating it but it ain't happening, his distribution is shite, always has been so why you persist with this viewpoint that it's never been an issue is utterly bizarre.
If he doesn't keep kicking it long and turning over possession he wouldn't have as many saves to make in the first place.
The fact Celtic have been in for him should tell you how highly rated he is outside of the club.
He's had his day with us unfortunately, like DeJong, Barry, Tevez, etc...
Thanks Joe but it's time for the next upward phase.
