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

[BlueMoonRisin’]

You know nuffink Mr Faulty.

And I do not infer it at all, I say it loud and clear as a true blue who has been through everything. My own underlying feeling is that those who are making certain comments would be making exactly the same ones if a certain Senor Mourinho was our manager.

I swear if Maureenio was our manager, I'd of not renewed my S/C.

Odius man.

I find some of these posters hard to believe or at least understand. I know gladbach blue is blue and such but i have no tolerance for the downbeat mentality atm. If we can't be chirpy now then we may as well just give up. The chap you quoted i find hard to believe though, if he is not a troll then lord help us all hehe.

During Pep's first interview with Noel he specifically mentioned trying to bring that big club mentality. I very much doubt he was speaking specifically about the players.

I have a lot of time for Joe and would love it if he stayed but the bigger picture means he is surplus to requirements. It's not disrespectful to sell a player and the club always comes first. As soon as we can agree on that, the 'big club mentality' will come naturally.

Is Chum or chappy ok?

You may lose but you may winalot

Sorry blue, couldn't resist;)

Woof woof! ;)

I wagged my tail at the light relief from all this barking which if nothing else passes the time on a dull and sometimes wet afternoon.

I keep my dog hungry and angry to defend me but she cannot type very well.

What he chose to believe when he was told he wouldn't be No1is his business. The point is he was told and the club have been true to their word. If Joe had been told he wasn't going to be No1 and he still didn't look for another club, it can mean that (a) he was happy to be No2 if it came to that (b) he tried but couldn't find a club that he wanted to go to that would take him. Neither of which are the clubs fault. As for give him the whole summer, the club may have done a calculation. Keep it quiet and risk having to pay Joe 3 years wages for playing for another club or sitting on his arse as against making it public and risking clubs taking the piss when we go looking for a replacement, thereby jeopardise the whole transfer. The fact we have signed Barca's No1 keeper for 15m says the club made the correct decision.

C. he backed himself to get the no1 back from willy,why would he not fight for that? he should have been told then he wasn't in the plans at all

I think this is a big mistake by the club, not only is Hart a better keeper than Caballero and Bravo he is English and a great spokesman for the club. These things matter and in his long and mainly distinguished career with this club he has earned the right to be treated with more compassion by the club and some of the fans on here.His form has been poor and the situation needed some addressing but the way it is being handled has spoiled any joy for me at the arrival of Pep. Hart could and would have adapted, it's not hard to throw or pass the ball ten yards. I should be so exited about watching the team I love go back top again tomorrow but I will have one eye on the dugout and will tut my way through the game.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Tutting throughout the game. What next to show our indignation to a player being dropped? I say a rousing and cacophony-inducing stamp of the left foot. Nothing too hard though - don’t want to drown out the sound of tongue on tooth. Get. A. Grip.

It would have caused me great problems about still going. For all I detest everything about that man, my love for City comes first and foremost.
He wouldn't have lasted long anyway, certainly not the life time I have invested in City.

I know what Silva and Kompany can do. I have seen it many times over recent years. So far I have seen a lot of aspirations, blind faith and wet dreams about what Pep will do. I have seen over 30 managers come and go at City and I do not judge, praise or condemn on their past reputations. One of those was a 'tough new boss' called Ron Saunders. Those who seek to establish themselves as Billy Big Bollocks often come a cropper, even Clough did at Leeds.

I hope he will do well obviously but I came out of the ground very deflated on Wednesday having seen a lot of players milling round and generally getting nowhere against a team that had no ambition and little ability. Tomorrow will be more of a test but the last thing I went is to say 'told you so'.

You might think that Silva and Kompany fit into how Pep plays the game. We don't know until it happens. Silva might not even fit into the team once the full complement of midfielders are available. Kompany body might not be up to running round in attack as well as defending.

The problem is that no one knows what will happen anymore they know the winning lottery numbers for tonight yet they are prepared to slag off fellow Blues who do not hold the 'In Pep we trust' mantra inn a blind sort of way.

One thing is for sure - I have not seen a manager who has caused so much division between the fans before the end of August.

We need to have a referendum.

Its all very cringeworthy, all these save JH posts..

According to Rics sources he was told months ago that he wouldnt be first choice, so had ample time to prepare himself for going to another club..

Lets look at the facts here..

City have said they will pay the bulk of his wages to go on loan..

Now apart from the top 4 or 5 teams in the Prem, all the others have fairly average goalies, yet no one that we know has come in for a goalie (who many claim on here to be world class) who is available on loan with the bulk of his wages paid..

Now why is this ?

the only logical answer i can think of is, he is not quite as good as people on here think and that is why City want to let him go.

If he does go to Sunderland, he will be far more busy, so we will see how good he actually is..

Obviously a misjudgement on his part.

Tell him he is not in the plans at all was the correct answer and a misjudgement on the clubs behalf
