Claudio Bravo

[kaz7]

I thought Stegan was only out for a week or 2?

La Liga hasn't started yet but Barca do play Sevilla in the Spanish Supercup this week.

There was a pic of him earlier on on a bed with something around his knee and reports it's his ligament

Spanish Super Cup is tonight at 9pm on Sky...Sevilla v Barcelona! I'm guessing he might start with Stegen injured...good chance to see what he's like!;)

Ah ok, still wouldn't mind Bravo if we keep Hart as well.

You must really dislike Joe to want him to sit on the bench for an entire year and lose his England spot.

I just hope that whatever we do happens quickly don't want it all to turn into a circus especially with the qualifier etc coming up. Get the Bravo link with Gunn/Rulli to come in when ready. Makes more sense to me than almost 80mil for Ter Stegen. Hope Joe gets a good move, but seems clear to me he's gone.

MATS won't be out for long, so they might as well sell Bravo. MATS has come to a point where he no longer will be no2. Luis Enrique will have no choice but to sell one of his GK's.

Bravo is better than Ter-Stegen and at £50mil less it's a no-brainer. Bravo comes in, is Pep's keeper during his time here, then they potentially depart at the around the same time depending where Bravo is at. Why spend £67mil on a keeper who may not fit our next managers philosophy? I mean we could always loan him out with option to buy i guess.

I think it's likely Pep is staying for longer than 3 seasons. I'd say 5 sounds about right, at a minimum. Why have we bought all of these young players who say they want to come to play under Pep, and he doesn't get to play them during their potentially prime years?

It wasn't meant like that, i just don't want to see him leave.

I know....just a joke. I love Joe, but after yesterday I am convinced the best thing for him is to move on because he will never get the number 1 spot if Bravo comes in.

I just have know clue where he would go if i'm honest.

Got to be honest mate.....Club want the strongest squad possible and if that means Hart is No2 and sat on the bench, so be it! Love Hart but if Pep doesnt think he good enough as No1 keeper, I'd prefer having Hart on the bench than not having him at all....One of the great things about Pep, is that he not emotionally attached to any one player and will put the "team" first over any individual needs of the players.....Whether Hart keeps his spot in the England squad is the last thing Pep will be thinking about when naming his 1st 11 players on Saturdays and thats the way it should be...


EDIT: just noticed you were having a joke!;)

Have you never heard of burn out?

Yeah, pretty much impossible to keep 2 top keepers happy at the same club. Cup games just isn't enough.

Don't worry to much, he wont have to get a window cleaning round. !

Yup - which makes the "in two weeks" part of the twitter post make perfect sence.

Karen - I think that you're loyal to Hart because he's been a fantastic asset to City over the years. But also, I think this clouds your judgement.

Pep plays only one way - and he isn't afraid of moving off huge talent to do so.

It's clear to me - and many others - that in spite of how great Hart is - that he has no future under Pep because he's not a natural sweeper.

Best scenario for Hart now is that he moves to a top club and is their #1 keeper and on that basis he holds down his #1 spot in the national side.

Agree with the above in general, but where would hart go? All the top prem sides have settled keepers ?

Everton?

Everton?

Why should he drop out of the CL at his age?

 

[razman]

why should he go to Everton a non - cl club ?

Because he probably has to stay in England (to save his England career and because he doesn't suit the European game). Besides, its a bit harsh calling Everton a non-club much as I dislike them.

Some of his best performances have come in europe,he should not even consider going to a team not in it,i can't believe what i read on here sometimes

Some of his best matches have been in the champions league with us and our initial record in the champions league would have been Even more embarrassing without Hart
