Re: Joe Hart Big Money New Deal
We need to stop with the paycheck envy. He will get what his employer thinks he is worth TO THEM! Some of that will include the opportunity cost of letting him go, some of it will be that he is an automatic home grown, so,e will be that he is a dressing room leader....oh, and some of it will be because he has saved us from losing points (and maybe even a Premier League trophy at Everton last season).
There is a rather large gulf, IMHO, between Hart and the next best British keeper, and there are not many in the world I would rank alongside him. His kicking is not the best, and he has stopped even trying to catch most crosses, but his punching has improved tremendously and he has not left his area recently, which is a blessing!
His contract, like every other new player contract in the last 12 months, is heavily incentivized to aid the club in an era of FFP....and incentive payments being outside the realm of penalties.
Good luck to you, Joe! Long may you reign over the nets at the Etihad!
