What the hell is Manuel Pellegrini playing at with Joe Hart? He dropped him for no good reason at Hull City on Saturday, and there appears to be little urgency in renewing his contract.
Hart will have a year left come the summer. Yet, as one of the few players at Manchester City that fulfils the homegrown criteria - and a damn good goalkeeper, by far the best from England - he should be both valued and cherished.
Instead, it seems as if he is taken for granted while Pellegrini fights to keep his overrated ally Willy Caballero happy. Yet what would City do if Hart took against the idea of staying on? They wouldn’t just need to replace a goalkeeper, but another Englishman in the squad.
It would cost a fortune. Hart might struggle to find a club with City’s potential — but he could seemingly locate one where he would be better appreciated with a click of the fingers.
