Joe Hart (joined Torino on season long loan - Official)

I think he will be here still but I'm sure the new coaching team will work on the 'footballing' area of his game. His kicking generally was poor last season, this season it's been a bit better but we generally look pretty uncomfortable playing it around at the back.

People will probably think this is ridiculous given the general opinion of Joe's distribution but isn't there a chance that Joe could perform that sweeper/keeper role if he is given license to do it and absolutely knows that it is his role to have a starting position which is further forward? He has a decent first touch and despite the general wisdom being that he can't pass, I generally think he looks confident on the ball and it is often the options (or lack of) that are available to him that is as big an issue as anything. I think what is expected from him in terms of distribution could be entirely different. I'd be surprised if he is expected to repeatedly play pin point, high balls to Aguero or Sagna under Pep.

We will never win the big one with him

I'd be well pi**ed if Pep thought that goal keeping was an area of the team that needed addressing, every other position needs attention before the keepers.

Henry 'the pundit' evaluated Joe's position very well I remember .he said Joe hart has never been asked to play as sweeper and so he hasn't played .maybe he will adapt to pep's demands and performs great as a sweeper keeper . I feel Joe is needed in the team not only for his on field qualities but also for his leadership . I would want him to get a fair chance .bringing another good keeper as competition is good but if we get a world class keeper like ter stegen and start using him more often , it will be unfair to Joe .

No doubt whatsoever, he will be here next season.

Needs proper competition and we should be looking to bed in a future number 1

Nochanges needed..in this area...... If willy is leaving... Then a good back up who would challenge a bit more than willy.... Am sure after Kompany, he is the next in line for captaincy as we all think Yaya is leaving

 

[Martinblueboy]

I just wish that Joe would catch the ball more often rather than punching; punching so often invites pressure back onto the team. Outwith that, his position is the least of our problems; we have far more pressing needs elsewhere on the park.

Is it ok to say fucking bollocks without causing offence?
