because he showed he was good enough for us and one of the best in the league. mancini wanted rid of hart before we won the league and wanted begovic
Over Hart? Would be disappointing if you let one player spoil what an incredible opportunity we have. For me, could take or leave Hart - certainly not a complete keeper, with technical and physical deficiencies that simply can't be ironed out. The surprise, I grant you, is that it wasn't the first position I thought needed strenghening - so I also think there could be non football issues that Pep wasn't keen on. Why let it spoil the ride - this isn't Pelle or Hughes making a decision - this is the best of the best.
And how long had you been thinking that for ?
Was obviously tongue in cheek, however, there was no surprise in the decision, I know peps system and his preference of how to play the game... Personally I think the writing was on the wall the minute he confirmed he was coming, I don't believe Joe can be coached, sufficiently, to play in his team regularly, which he undoubtedly would want...
+1. That is when the rot started to set in.Incidentally. If any manager of Manchester City tells a City player to jump, then the only acceptable response back from a player is "How high boss?" The club made a huge mistake caving in to player power when Mancini was dismissed and it must never happen again.
6th-10th best keeper in the Prem??I am short sighted yes and long sighted. Need to get some decent bins. Thansk for asking.
Ok - Gelson Fernandes replaced by David Silva. Scott Sinclair replaced by Navas. I could go on all day.
Of course Joe Harts career is not over but i would guess he is about the 6th to 10th best keeper in the prem. So he is going to play for Everton probably who are about the 6th to 10th best team.
Do you want to keep him as first choice? All the evidence suggests that Bravo is better and more suited to our new style. If Joe loves City stay and be number 2 and work like mad on your kicking. If he doesnt he can go - he has the safety net of a fantsatic contract until 2019. What is the issue?
And he has my full backing,as a seasoncard holder I'll make my judgements,am sure he will get it right for us,but it's the comments about a guy who has done arguably more than most in his time here/in the team I'm struggling to comprehend really
Saw your comment. Checked the vid. Saw Joe Hart's fact at around 3:10. Disappointed. Not exactly what I'd call a 'face like thunder'; I think we're now trying to find any example of when he might be diva-like to fit this narrative of him being a right b'stard.
As it happens, I believe the claims that he is an arrogant and difficult bloke; too many claims and examples from different sources support this view - but this vid isn't one of them!
