send him back to his roots. No pressure, see some familiar faces, get him thinking about what it was that made him so keen to be a professional footballer, get him refreshed, hungry and determined to come back and have a fresh start.
Keeping him out of the limelight and dropping him will just make him depressed of Carrington and want to leave, and then we'd lose him permanently.
and you think sending a premiership goal keeper and England international to the dregs of English football would keep him out of the limelight and not make him depressed?!
OMFG you need a job as a motivational speaker!!!!!
You give him the choice of rotting at Carrington, as that is what will happen till he leaves permanently.
Or you give him the chance to go home to his favourite club, back to fans who'll appreciate him just being there and adore him and there'll be a huge lift there and that will reflect back on Joe and give him some confidence. He can rediscover what made him tick as a young lad, recall fond memories and get some games under his belt against cannon fodder opposition, but back to basics and in games that will keep him busy.
Sometimes you have to get yourself out of a rut and take a radical step to change something in your life, and take a step back to go much further forwards. At the end of the day if he's at Carrington he's not playing and not exorcising those clear demons and lack of confidence that stems from his mistakes.
It's easy to dismiss it but people always say they "can't" do something, and that's why they end up in mediocrity or not as good as they should have been.
People who take that next step, take the risk, give something a go find a new side to themselves and become a better and more rounded person.
He needs to find himself and he won't do that in training, and he won't do it playing second fiddle to a guy who's played second fiddle to him for 2 seasons.

Do you not think the press would send reporters to report on England's number 1 playing League 2 football?
Last night was the first time I wanted Hart replace, Casillas would be my choice. Would avoid Valdes as he'll need time to adjust to the likes of Huth, Terry, Lukaku putting him under pressure.
Course they would, but you don't think they'll be lining the driveway at Carrington and printing stories about the end of his City and England career if he gets dropped anyway? He'll have media whatever he does, he might as well be brave about it.
