Claudio Bravo

First couple of minutes shows why Pep wants him.

definitely feel good watching that. looks like a midfielder wih the ball.

33 years old, don't like that. He's keeper though.

33 years old, don't like that.

We have Gunn and Rulli once they are ready.

I feel like way too many people have become obsessed with age since last season when we were labeled with the oldest squad, even though we've bought plenty of young talent this window.

This is the captain of the back to back Copa American champions & best keeper award winner we are talking about here. The # 1 keeper in South America, the # 1 keeper at Barca. Have some respect for Bravo.

Any one of Ter-stergen or Bravo is an upgrade over Hart.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Another aspect of Peps goalkeeping requirements I have barely seen mentioned is the sweeper role. Comming out to clear and intercept the long ball. Saw Willy do this on Saturday. Joe is great 1-1 but I have often seen situations where I have thought where is Joe? and then see him stuck to his line. Joe barely dominates his box let alone the final 1/3 of the pitch. His decision making is suspect in these situations as well. A tough summer for Joe. I just hope that he has not dug his own grave with the Arsenal friendly and that this is all about horses for courses and not his attitude.

Football is ruthless
And we hang on to memories and past glories
Really we should of got rid of yaya start of last season ..
Silva isn't the player he once was and joe is never gonna be good enough with his feet or a world class keeper.
Not like he's a young lad he's nearly 30

People doubting pep and the clubs judgement over sentiment are stupid.

Sentiment is one of the reasons we've never kicked on from Either of the titles.
Now we have a manager who won't tolerate players who aren't good enough or passengers

Been following this for a while before commenting and you have explained it very well. New managers see things differently and some have the bottle to change things and upset and ruffle feathers. Hart for me was ok but not fantastic, he had some brilliant games just like other outfield players have .Some posters are worrying what club he will go to, come on ! it's football and things move on.
Ño players are untouchable and if they are not cutting it, then they make way.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/americ...-steaua-keepers-wjoe-bailey-and-ian-cheeseman Ian Cheeseman joins the American Cityzens podcast at 1:07 minutes and discusses the Joe Hart situation. He hints with information from club sources that it's not just on the pitch footablling issues with Hart but it's also an attitude/personality issue...very interesting.

He has some great kicking also.
