There seems to be too many rumours linking us with a new goalkeeper for there not to be something in it and Hart being dropped yesterday adds to that.
I can understand Pep picking Caballero over Hart based on working with him for longer in pre season, although I suspect Pep made up his mind on Hart well before he joined us and being honest Hart's performances in the euros can't have helped.
What now for Hart then? Will he stay and fight, work hard to show Pep he can adapt to his style of play, even if another goal keeper is brought in? Or will he decide he isn't Pep's first choice so he would be better off leaving?
It would be interesting to see what happens if a new keeper struggled to adapt to English football, the way De Gea did when he first arrived. Who does Pep pick then, a keeper struggling with the league or a keeper who does not quite play the Pep way?
If Hart does leave I'll be sorry to see him go, he's been with City for a long time and been a key part of our recent success. Considering we don't exactly have a lot of English players in our squad to let England's number one goal keeper leave also doesn't sit entirely well with me. Having said that Pep has to be allowed to put his own stamp on the team so the club have to back him 100%, he is the man to make the big decisions, even if that means popular players moving on.

Well two managers reportedly want/wanted to replace him. The unrest that reportedly caused apparently led to ones downfall while the other could get a blank cheque to go do it.Opportunistic excuse to do what sorry?

Hart will only get picked if he does as he's told.You asked did I think if we are left with willy and hart do I think Hart will play. I said yes because he ultimately is the better keeper it's not hard and you yourself in another thread picked Hart over Willy. You're boring me know mate as you did last year. Let's wait and see if Hart stays and who is proven right. We did the same last year re: MP and we know how that turned out.
He's got better feet than Willy in my opinion and probably Pep's but Pep won't tolerate him not doing as instructed.

It was just that that caused unrest and Hart wasn't the only one.Well two managers reportedly want/wanted to replace him. The unrest that reportedly caused apparently led to ones downfall while the other could get a blank cheque to go do it.
Either way, Mancini will be enjoying it.
Pep 'gets a blank cheque' as he's been the club's target for 5 years.
If Pep is allowed to be ruthless with the squad I just wonder why nobody else was allowed the same freedom, given everyone was pushing towards the same thing I'd have thought.It was just that that caused unrest and Hart wasn't the only one.

He could have been a target for 10 years, doesn't make him bigger than the club. He's the coach, in his own words, part of a cycle.
There is no room for sentiment here , we all knew if we are honest that the Pep era would see favourite players out of favour and would be leaving . We cannot have Pep and not back him 100% in his decisions , we all thought zabba maybe Nasri would be going but looks like it's gonna be Hart, if so thanks for everything Joe you won't be forgotten, but all good things come to an end this is the Pep era we can only look and go forwards .

and Pep is relying on Willy how? It's one game whilst we try and sort another keeper.

It's irksome how the media are revealing Hart being dropped before the teamsheet is out.
Of course, it could be pure guesswork, but I fear they're being tipped off from inside the club. That has to stop.
