Well it makes sense that we've brought Bravo in.

Not talking about who we brought in mate, just commenting on my feelings on how the scenario panned out.

I saw it coming a mile off tbh so would be surprised if Hart didn't have an inkling.
It's a shame that no bigger clubs were interested but I'm sure if he improves himself over the next 12 months he'll get a deal that suits him.

Well can you blame him really? Honestly if you look at the England player and pick one that's most likely to go play in the Serie A, Hart would be at the bottom of that list. I'm convinced this is one of the most random deal ever.

Joe's got the same agent as Gareth Bale.

Do you know I didn't see it coming at all, I was convinced that some others would be straight out of the door when Pep came and they're still here. Ha just shows what I know.
Hope you're right with 2nd part of your post.

Buffon showing any signs of fading?

If Joe has a stand out season in turin than perhaps juve may glance over and see a long term replacement.

Nice big fat fee next summer. Delicious.

When Pep was announced, it was essentially nailed on Joe would be out of a job. He couldn't be farther from a Pep keeper if he tried -- not good with the ball at his feet and rarely if ever leaves his area to sweep. The reality is that his agent failed him given that City were linked with countless keepers for months and months. And they weren't of the variety that you'd sign to be second choice. I think there is probably an element of truth to the powers that be trying to convince Pep to keep him, but an agent should be steps ahead and obviously he wasn't.

Keep your expection low when dealing with Italian clubs.

Disappointing to see some blues on here saying the fact that he has gone to Torino is a reflection on Joe. I think that is totally unfair and inaccurate. It's a timing issue in that at end of August most teams sorted for goalkeeper.

Yes Joe Hart made a couple of mistakes at the Euros and maybe a couple in the season. But last season just like every other year he has played for us he was one of our best players. Some of the saves he has pulled off in recent years have been ridiculous and he was a huge factor in our champions league progression in recent years. Form may be temporary but Joe Hart is a class act.

Personally I back Guardiola in that he should be able to bring in whoever he wants to be number one goalkeeper. But I do not agree that Willy Caballero is better than Joe Hart at ANY elements of his game. I'd much rather have seen Hart stay and one gk play in league and the other in champions league and cups. From what I understand bravo is prone to injury in recent years and if we have to rely on Caballero for any period of time over a period of time over a few weeks I'd be very worried.

Good luck Joe at a Torino and welcome Claudio Bravo.

Good luck Joe. Been a star for us but Pep knows best. Hope there's no crocodile tears tribute from the club. They wanted him gone at any cost so no hollow words please City. His record speaks for itself.
