I trust Pep. Pep doesn't trust Hart. I don't trust Hart.

It's that simple.

We have to appreciate the caliber of manager that we have here and we have to support him 100%, even if some decisions are unpopular.

Only this. Barcelona had ultimate success because they gave Pep unlimited trust. He was successful with Bayern, but in the end I think he left because there are too many people in Munich having huge influence on decisions.

He axed players like Ibrahimovic and Etoo. And he was right! Trust the man!

There was a video on SSN taken from today's training. All it showed was Pep and Hart talking and then Hart walking towards another training pitch.

It wasn't a heated row or a bust up. But it's probably fair to say it wasn't exactly a friendly chat either. I don't think there's anything in it though, just two professionals at work, nothing newsworthy at all.

Thanks, so assumptions based on nothing much, why am I not surprised ?

There are many on here who want Bravo to fail, it's true. I refuse to believe, however, that many, (if any) are really City fans, and not just other club's supporters gleefully sh*t stirring as usual.

N.B. Has anyone else noticed how ragtop (Media) journalists are suddenly proclaiming Hart to be "the best thing since sliced bread" again, and not the "complete donkey" they were all lining up to kick the crap out of during the Euro's?

Nobody is wanting either Pep or Bravo to fail. There are just many who see this as a pointless upgrade when there are other areas that are a priority. People are also capable of not liking a person individually without wishing that they would fail the larger collective. As the Liverpool vs Bournmouth game showed, having all the possession in the world means nothing if you don't do anything with the ball. Fortunately for us, we've played manageable competition so far, so we've done well. I'm more worried about the quality of FBs moving forward even if we are to pass out from the back.

Its a bizarre tag to give our supporters,and its even fucking stranger,at such an early and tremendously optimistic stage,that someone would attempt to create division amongst such.

That sort of comment is neither constructive or welcome.

problem is he needs to be better at everything. It's all well and good making a pass out from the back but he needs to be able to protect his goal too. Those saying Pep doesn't think that's going to be an issue are deluded. Did you see our First 2 matches?? Had we been playing even a half decent team we would have lost both. Sadly the Pep brigade will not see or accept that, but it was as plain as day! Bravo is not a better shot stopper than Hart so we will come a cropper when we play those half decent teams.

We won both games comfortably !!

No upgrade is pointless.

For me the upset is caused because Joe has won things for us, when most thought we would never see those days. He is a strong character/presence. Others have left who were just as important to those wins and hardly anything said. Barry, Lescott, De Jong.

I trust Pep fully on this.

If Joe is so good and is available for a loan deal why is no one banging the door down. Joe is better than Cech or Mignolet?

You only have to consider the lack of clubs coming in for Hart to think he's not all he's cracked up to be. With Crystal Palace able to spend 35m on a player surely an ambitious club in the premier league would want to sign England's current No 1 goalkeeper...in theory they should be falling over themselves and Joe should want to play football.

I've been a lone voice for a long time saying that Joe is not a good enough GK for a club with our ambitions. I'm delighted Pep has realised this too but Joe should go as a City legend and will always be remembered fondly for the history changing he was a part of.

Joe's wages and a potential loan move are what are putting clubs of. Unless it's a permanent deal, no big clubs are going to come in for him as a loan move wouldn't benefit any team attempting to compete in the CL. You would want a long term commitment before deciding to upend your club's GK situation. I always thought the Everton rumors were a bit of a stretch after they had picked up Stekelenbug who has done well for them.

Firstly because goalkeeper is the most difficult position to move players around in. You play just one, for most of the season.

Secondly the calibre of club Hart would be looking at are likely to have already planned their keeper situation for this season so close to the end of the window.

Thirdly the money we'd want for England's number one keeper would limit the options severely.

Fourthly, Hart is certainly better than Mignolet. It's debatable if he's better than Cech, but he's certainly 5 years younger, and homegrown, which helps.
 
This is a good thing for the team and joe hart. He needs pushing like he never has been pushed before and if he can't handle it then he doesn't belong in this team. Pep will not tolerate players who don't work hard for him, mistakes are one thing but not willing to learn and adapt ? This is why yaya, nasri are on the outs ! They aren't bigger than mcfc !
