Claudio Bravo

They're Barcelona. One game with a non-WC keeper won't kill them.

Stupid comment, would we be happy with Angus Gunn playing against West Ham?

I would if it meant getting £18 million for a keeper who wanted to leave.

When are Barca playing West Ham?

As many have said, don't let sentiment cloud your judgement.

Claudio Bravo is a better goalkeeper than Joe Hart for the system that we will be playing.

Bravo is more mobile, is a better passer, and is definitely not worse than Hart as a shot stopper. He also makes far fewer mistakes.

On top of that, he is a better shot stopper than Ter Stegen and will cost a third of the price.

I thank Joe for all he has done for our club and will never forget the hand he has had in our success, but I trust in Pep and this is the right call. I wish Joe all the best in the future, but I for one hope this comes to fruition.

Well put

Pep was asked about Bravo today

"It is not the moment to talk about players of another club."

Dont really know anything of bravo.

Is he a better shot stopper than hart?
Better at coming for crosses?
Better at one on ones?
Better at commanding his area and communication with his back 4?

Im guessing he is better distribution wise or we wouldnt be going for him

If so go get him.....

However if he is weaker in all of the above then we may get better distribution but we will lose on everything else....

Genuinely never seen him play much so just wondering

In my opinion they are about equal at shot stopping
Bravo has the edge coming for crosses but that is in a different league
Joe is best at one on ones
Bravo is better at commanding his area. Others may not agree but that is my assessment

I for one would be prepared to give the lad a chance after all if Willy gets sick and Joe got injured he is the man we would have to rely on tm night in Romania.

Bravo was 31 when he changed his game style moving from Real Sociedad to Barca, see my stats above. Hart is 29, 2 years younger than when Bravo "learnt new Tricks" after joining Barca.

Do you simply believe he is being moved on (tbc) purely down to footballing reasons?

 

[mosssideblue]

Personally I think the goalkeeper is the most important position in a side. Hart deserves a chance to see if he can develop, learning from Bravo Pep and the other coaches.

Something tells me that ain't going to happen.

Quite. Listing the strengths and weaknesses of both keepers purely for what they do on the pitch may be missing the point a bit.
