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

[Abattoir Blue]

As I've previously said, I have a heavy 'HAeRT' on this but my head tells me it is the correct that Joe goes as I believe we need to become world class in every department in order to become one of elite(proven)European sides. It's what Pep wants, it's what Kaldoon Al Muberak wants, it's what Sheikh Mansour wants, it's what us blues want.

So long Joe. We wish you well

Is Bravo a better goalie than Hart? I reckon most would say no or at least the jury is out. How can this then be a step towards our ambition to become world class?

He is a better keeper than hart. In every single way
But most importantly, he is a better keeper in the way we now play, by a country mile.

Everyone wishes the very best for Hart, but dont be so naive mate.
Watch La Liga (and the best football team ) in the world at some point and see why he was and still IS their best keeper. TS being kept is simply a matter of age and potential

Take those blue tinted specs of and soak it up, this is the best way forward with an absolute top 5 keeper in the world coming in

I say it again... our last 4 managers.. Hughes, Bobby, Pellegrini and now Pep all wanted Hart out/didnt fancy him at all and it was made public in each case
They arent all wrong. He is seen by every other fan base as an over rated keeper held in high esteem due to his in your face passion and loud mouth
I rate him much higher than that, but dont dismiss the keeper coming in and the one you will be cheering on in the next few years. Get some respect all round

i am absolutely loaded , but i could be happier :(

Look I am sure joe is gutted but my posted was written in response to somones over the top reaction that this was going to be hard to get over. Better and more popular players than joe hart have left city and he can still play football and have a good career and has been incredibly well rewarded by city. I just find it strange that someone would spend any time getting too upset about him going when clearly our manager knows what he is doing. I respect joe and like him but i won't be letting him leaving city getting me down this week. I am more concerned about real things like getting my kids back settled at school, helping me dad renew his driving license etc etc. There are bigger things to be down about than joe hart leaving city!!

Most? Most people who have no fucking clue about Bravo I assume you mean.

Educate yourself.

We are still on this 'why' thing ?

Still it hasn't been covered enough ?

I don't like it, never will, no matter what we win in the next few seasons, I will always believe we would be able to win the same with Joe. I don't think he was given any chance to develop the skills that Pep wants. People saying he just hoofs it long, well for many seasons, he didn't exactly have a choice! You have to have other players to pass to, passing from the back isn't all about the goalie, and now that all the defenders are coached properly as to how to make themselves available it would have given Joe the chance to show he does have the skills or can develop them. He's not getting that opportunity, a few weeks in training isn't enough to judge anyone on.
However, we don't have a choice, we as a club have made the pursuit of Pep our prime goal for 6 years and so he must be left to do what he believes is best, he will make mistakes though and this may or may not be one of them, but to have a player who has been with us for 10 years is rare in this age and not only his loyalty but his hard work, commitment and passion for playing for City would have been highly valuable and I'm sorry if some don't like this, but he's English and that helps the soul of our club. Winning is the most important thing right now, but it isn't and never will be the only thing.

You can't keep players through sentiment.

But the guy paid to make that decision doesn't and his track record is rather good.
