In their prime, Ferguson got rid of Ince Kanchelskis Beckham Stam vanNiistelroy. He got rid Keane who was club captain.we have all seen what pep did with the big players at barca and even what taggert did over the road with the so called big players and there egos and it was no detriment to them what so ever....for the first time in years we have a manager who has got the balls to ruffle a few feathers and not affraid to make changes for ultimately the end result...no one is bigger the club and it looks like Joe is going to find that out within the next 2 weeks
I'd love to know how you know he hasn't done what he's been told. I just can't see that happening myself.And he won't get a chance if he's not doing as he's told in training.
Nothing wrong with any of that mate. I feel similar when I see Kompany or Silva attacked because I still feel they have so much to offer and are deserving of a lot more respect afforded him by some posters.Possibly mate. I`m not saying what I feel is completely rational, but we are talking about footballer who play for the team we Love. I think where City and most of us are concerned rationality goes out the window.
Perhaps its that Joe is English which is a plus regarding the quota, perhaps he`s been here a long time and feels like he`s nearly city as Zab or Vinnie.
Perhaps its because this feels like the media are praying for us to sell Joe then will beat us with a big stick.
Perhaps its the games I remember like against Barca and Dortmund to name 2 where he stood between us and annihilation.
Perhaps its when I see De Gea make 2 mistakes for 2 goals against Spain that saw them leave the Euro`s without so much of a word.
Perhaps I`ve gone in defencive mode because it`s what other clubs fans will love,
Perhaps its the names of 6 goalies who some thought were better than Joe,
De Gea, Foster, Loris, Courtois, Butland, Schmeichel, none of whom have never 1 won the golden glove between, never mind the 4 Joe`s won.
Perhaps it`s the last 3 years under Pelligrini where our defencive organisation has be woeful at best with no midfield cover in front of the back 4. I think any goalkeeper in the world form would suffer.
I feel like the lone voice in the wilderness and yes it maybe be Irrational but it`s what I feel.
There's some sentimental football simpletons on this thread.
No one. Literally no one thinks Willy is a better keeper. I don't reckon there's many think Willy is better with his feet either. But what we've witnessed is Willy doing as instructed and Hart not doing (and we didn't watch the St Johnstone game Hart played in).
We also don't watch training and know what's been said by whom and to whom.
But one thing that is for sure is that if Pep wants Txiki to buy a keeper, he doesn't drop the No1 keeper on a whim or to prove a point or to alert other clubs to his availability. The very thought is beyond ludicrous. His agent would be in the phone to 50 clubs within minutes of he was told to leave or find another club.
Pep believes we concede less goals by having control of the ball than we would having the world's best shot stopper kicking it to the opposition every time. He's not going to change now and any City not understanding that should either have a word with themselves or be prepared to be disappointed.
There should be a degree of loyalty or at least a chance given to someone who has been an ambassador for the club, who has 10 years service. When I say chance given, I mean on the pitch, not in training. If he has to go up against another proven keeper then fair enough, just don't tell me Caballero is that proven, better goalkeeper.
I really like Hart as a keeper but I don't think he's helped himself. Cheeseman hasn't decided to make up his comments on the podcast, he's too old in the game and too close to City to do that.Possibly mate.

I don't keep up to speed with things like homegrown quotas, but won't this impact on that?
