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

[Tugay One Cup]

Just can't believe Pep thinks Big Willy is better than Joe

Looks like most PL managers agree, where is all this interest for Hart we were told about?

How are you not talking about Caballero here?

I get what you're saying about there being a lack of interest but it's bullshit that people don't rate him outside of our fanbase. He's got recognition from the best goalkeeper of this generation in Buffon and recognition from one of the greatest players of all time in Messi. He's been England's number one for years. He's been our number one for even longer despite us having the financial capability to replace any weak links. Our owners aren't a part of our fanbase with blue tinted specs and a soft spot for terrace heroes, they're ambitious professionals with the aim of taking the club into the elite of Europe. He's a highly rated professional and to base a counter argument on the simple fact that there isn't a queue of premier league managers waiting outside his front door is flimsy at best.

No joe fucked up at the euros and in the pre season friendlies . That's the issue. It was joe who made those mistakes and I am afraid he is no longer considered a top class goalie. Whether that be at city or any other top clubs. There is just not a queue of clubs clambering for his signature

He has been a great servant to the club but he is not immune from criticism just because he is joe. He has been brilliant for us but he has also shown some weaknesses lately. It's life I am afraid. We need to move on and so does joe

My point is he has no time to move on,he hasn't been given enough time,he needs to go now i agree but it's not fair for him to have to go to a relegation team he is a CL keeper,to put him down i feel very sad about,he doesn't fit pep but he is still a great keeper

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Just can't believe Pep thinks Big Willy is better than Joe

No.. Pep thinks Bravo is better than Hart, Pep cant play keeper hes gonna sell so hes playing Willy.

hope this helps.

Hart hasn't asked to leave. If there is no decent offer for him he should be allowed to stay and leave for a proper team in either January or next summer when he's ready.

Agreed, there almost seems to be a desperation on City's part to get rid of Hart. I'm guessing they think Hart won't be a good influence on the squad if he's not playing. I'm sorry Hart is going, but accept that we just have to let Pep do things his way and his lack of sentiment for players and objective take on things will drive us forward.

Still think Hart should play tomorrow though, Caballero has looked extremely uncomfortable playing the ball out from the back. Guess it's a case of Hart not being in the long term plans so giving Caballero game time as he will be staying.

On a separate point if Hart goes to Sunderland I'll be gutted for him. He's unlucky that the better teams in the league already have established first choice goalkeepers.

This thread is sad, people comparing Joe to vastly inferior goalkeepers and lining him up for teams he could realistically do much better than, if he had more than two weeks notice on his City career.

do you genuinely believe he's only had two weeks notice?? Jesus

I see what you mean but the circus that will hang around the club until he goes will be neve ending. Every presser will see questions about team morale, Joe, when will he play , why isn't he playing etc. Better for everyone if he goes ASAP.

It's interesting to see the efforts City are going to to get Hart out of the club before the end of this window whilst doing very little as regards Yaya, Nasri and Bony who also seem to have the same lack of future with us.

Perhaps that shows the respect they each have within the club ? Doing their best to help Hart, whilst telling the others to sort themselves out, or have a season without much football.

But to say to Hart we'll be happy if you're anywhere but here... what will that do to morale and also will it make potential future signings think twice about joining?

If we had given joe a whole summer he would have got a move no problem

To be fair he's had since Feb (at least) to either get his game to Pep's level, or find a new club.
