What Joe lacks is what's most important to Pep in the goal keeping position. Neuer, Valdes, Ter Stegen, Bravo, and other goalkeepers who are brilliant at distribution, comfortable with their feet, and confident enough to accurately pass from out of the back have been doing it for years. Most we're trained as young lads to do more than just launch the ball when they are under pressure and subsequently played first team football that utilized these qualities. Joe was not trained this way nor does he have the natural footballing talent to be comfortable with his feet. Pep is a fantastic coach but was blessed to have Valdes (Barca trained) and Neuer (Schalke trained) as his keepers, who had been trained has boys to play the way he wants his keepers to play. Pep has never had to develop a goalkeeper and I believe it would borderline impossible to get a keeper like Hart at his age (29) to be comfortable under pressure to pass accurately to a CB or FB when the other team is pressing. His long ball distribution isn't good either and that is something all goalkeepers work on no matter what system the team plays. Joe is a really good at what he does well but if we want to dominate the PL and win CL we need a goal keeper who can do it all NOW and most importantly can play in Pep's system NOW. I actually like Bravo over Ter Stegen because it doesn't close the door on Gunn or Rulli (and Bravo is much cheaper and better at shot blocking). Gunn needs to go on loan asap though. Rulli kept a clean sheet against Barca last season, if he develops more at Sociadad he's probably the future #1 in a couple years when he's 26.
