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

[Metalartin]

If there was a scandal the press would be all over it as there are no secrets in football,especial because he is englands goalie,i wait until there is some proof before joining the lynch mob

I think some people are over egging it too, but I will say I don't think Cheeseman would say it if there was nothing to it because he's a known face around City.

At the same time it was all vague, it's probably that he's gotten above his station a few too many times(big deal happens at a lot of clubs with long serving players so it shouldn't diminish fans feelings for him) and this is a sticking point for the new manager going forward. Ontop of that we have another rumor mentioned in the same podcast that Pep's apparently said he's about 6months away off being "ready", could be rubbish but he obviously thinks he has a lot of work to do, it's all added up and there's too much going against Joe staying under Pep.

I heard he broke tv screen by accident but refuse to pay back to the club so we have to sell him to replace tv screen. I may be wrong.

Just listened to Ian Cheeseman on the excellent American Cityzens podcast. He was being very diplomatic but had clearly heard something. He made it clear though that (a) it was a personal rather than a football issue and (b) he was out and there was no way back.

That just reinforces my belief that something has happened prior to Pep coming that crossed a line, that a decision was taken some time ago and Pep's arrival represents an opportunity to execute that decision.

Yes the club had accommodated Hart in every aspects since Mancini was fired but has seen the light that the Holistic approach (whatever that is) has not seen any 'improvement' on the Players to be shipped out.

A Head and Shoulders ad popped up on my FB feed today and Joe was getting dog's abuse from all and sundry in the comments. Nobody deserves that.

That was a super injunction

Hamann wasn't
And we don't KNOW if there's a super injunction do we?

The point is - just because it's not in the news, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But you're right in as much as saying until something is out in the open, we don't KNOW.

My own guess is it's just a culmination of stuff that when added up just doesn't work for Pep and so that's that.

There's many people in this thread acting like little teenagers upset that their favourite member of a boyband is leaving.

Bravo will be excellent keeper for us and will fit Pep's system better.

People have a right to express their feelings though don't they?

Supporters will always have favourites and defend them......that's what being a supporter is about surely????

Joe Hart has been here a long time ...................anyone just saying oh fuck it he was shit and who cares is a dick

Ian's on about an hour in but worth listening to the lot.

I'm fairly sure that at least one of our current squad has the benefit of a superb injunction.
I was also told that a glazier was called to the campus to repair the door which a certain keeper damaged when he learned that he wouldn't be starting against Sunderland.

I've just listened to the podcast, hasn't Cheeseman had inside knowledge for some time with all things City? Doubt he'd say it if there was nothing to it. Interesting though... he talked about the Wigan final we lost, player power and the rumor Hart threw a wobbler when he heard he wasn't playing on the Friday.

Do you think 'Head & Shoulder' will continue to prop him up if his hairline continues receding? Likewise should the club if Joe's performance continue to decline?
