Hart will only get picked if he does as he's told.

He's got better feet than Willy in my opinion and probably Pep's but Pep won't tolerate him not doing as instructed.

I'd agree, Hart seems fairly competent on the ball and would surely be able to adapt to some degree but I dont think he will. The friendly where within 10min he was hoofing it up field rather than trying to continue playing short was probably enough to seal his fate.
 
I don't think many on here doubt Hart's ability as a shot stopper but the problem is Pep wants a keeper with the ball skills of an outfield player which Joe doesn't possess.
I fear come 1st Sept that Joe will have moved on.

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.

Carnt see Hart staying myself think he is to used to being num 1 like cech was at Chelsea plus England place he will lose if he is not playing for us and he has alot of endorsements with his name n face on think he will go

That's what I was thinking at the time.

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.

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.

How's he bigger than the club?

What are you even on about?
 
Joes distribution has been poor for a long time,it never feels like he's really worked on it.
He's known for a long time what Pep was going to be requiring of his keeper so if he's not had the sense to work on it,as appears to be the case,then he must be very arrogant to assume he would simply be a fixture
