Joe Hart's representatives say the goalkeeper has been told to find a new club by City. [@SunMartinB]

Martin pretty reliable

Yep, Pep is one ruthless fucker thats for sure and IMO ruthlessness is what we need. Too many players have been allowed to coast, especially the last 2 seasons under Pellegrini.

I think the non-footballing argument is much more persuasive even if it hasn't been spelled out. The footballing argument doesn't make sense because from what I have seen he's really good with the ball. It will remain a mystery. I'm quite happy with Bravo. The main thing is we have a competent keeper, but after watching Joe for years you're bound to have some sympathy. If you don't then there's something wrong with you in my opinion. I know he gets paid a lot and could no doubt go elsewhere but this is his club and there is such a thing as pride.

It is not though he is an employee no time for nostalgia, might as well bring back SWP and Dunne while we at it. I also hear Anelka is looking for a club? Richards misses us lets throw him back in team?

Who is better in your mind Eto, Dinho, Ibra, Deco, Hart?

I hope you get my point.

He also seems to have said our spending is over, which does not correlate with Hart leaving: we surely would not go into the season with Willy and Gunn as our keeper options!?

Well that looks like that's it then, I think it's more than footballing reasons(they'll be part of it but just one of many things going against him) having thought about it all but good luck to him all the same.

Bravo is already coming, think he means after we sign Bravo we are done.

TC was my hero as a budding goalkeeper myself. Was gutted when he left. He did give me a pair of his sondico gloves though which made a teenage boy very happy.
Curle was awesome - met him in a bar in Tenerife a couple of years ago and spent 20 minutes pestering him pissed up telling him how much a hero he was - he took it in good grace and accepted the beer offered :-)

I firmly believe that curle, today, would be one of the best defenders in Europe, he was well ahead of his time. Another player totally marginalised by an inept English FA....
 
Quite happy to see him go. Left side was embarrassingly weak at times and his distribution is terrible. I'm sure he will find a club though. He is England's number one after all!

I'm loving the lies about Hart not being able to pass. He can. He regularly wins cross bar challenge competitions that the players do amongst themselves, he takes a mean penalty, can back heel any dropped object (typically a coffee cup) into a nearby container (typically a bin), he can do endless freestyle football actions (keepy ups for those of my age) and even a Rabona of two.

He's been back from the Euros for 3 weeks and is being asked to play in a style he has never played before at City or for England. Willy has been back for 6 weeks and that is the main reason that he got the nod on Saturday.

Let's also note that for the last 3 years he's been told to hump it up the pitch as our legacy defence can't pass it's way out of a paper bag - they were bought to defend. Even with newer additions Mangala and Otamendi it's like watching clones of Corporal Jones panicking when they get pressed.

If Pep want's him out it's because he doesn't like his character or he thinks he is disruptive. Anyway we shall soon find out.

Is this a serious post??

Marvin, why do you persist with this. He is a shot stopper and has never shown footballing ability as part of his general play. Youtube stuff in training doesn't count! How many times have we seen him collect a ball, run purposely forward as looking to play a pass. Check himself and run in another direction purposely. Then stop and look and finally launch the ball 60 yards to the opposition or out of play. He hasn't played many minutes under Pep but those he did, he showed absolutely no effort in playing from the back. I will wish him all the best when he leaves, a really great servant of the club and made a major contribution in all our successes.

It has to be because he is technically better than most keepers. How very sad.

He does have a point though, reading some of the posts some are under the impression Hart is terrible with the ball at his feet but he's far from it(I've seen him show some surprising skill for a keeper albeit never under pressure bar that penalty) which is a sign he really could adapt his game, being cool under pressure and his distribution is clearly what he needs to work on.

Ive seen some surprising skill from him too. He felled a poor woman walking to her seat behind the goals during a warm up. How accurate was that as she was only one of about five in the area, and a moving target. :)

That's not what I said at all, in fact I posted the Cheeseman podcast myself and said there might be something to it. Again people getting their backs up when things aren't aimed at them! It was the abuse and name calling for a player who's been at the club and represented us well for over 10 years that I took issue with(there were only one or two but I stopped reading back at that point in disgust so there could be more).
