Has there ever been a goalkeeper who wasn't a good 'shot-stopper'? It kind of comes with the job description. However, he's actually lacking when it come to stopping shots from outside the box to his bottom left.It's gonna be a tough sell mate, people don't want to see Harts deficiencies. Making light of his lack of ball skills and arguing he's a good shot stopper is all well and good - well it is if you've never watched a Guardiola team.
The simple fact is if he doesn't raise his game in that area he won't be our number one for long.
If Pep thinks his GK is a problem and needs replacing he's in for a shock when he sees the rest of the team
IMO money needs spending elsewhere
Yes, when you were brought in to be a full time starter and haven't played in league games...it is a problem (injury did have an effect in the beginning obviously). He also made some glaring errors in CL play . Yes, had some good play v Bayern and the PK save but nothing worth 20 million dollars. A lot of Germany supporters will tell you he's not even the #2 or #3 GK for country going forward. Why would we want him #1. Save the money. This is just my opinion though and some people love him...I guess the Champions League starts don't mean anything huh?
Yeah that's fine. Not many top sides have been built without a core of players who have been together for years, (either having graduated from the youth academy or joined in their early twenties).
Ironically Pep's two clubs (current and former) are prime examples. I hope he's aware of this and doesn't dispense immediately of our core: Zaba, Kompany and Hart in particular, and even tries to add to it by dipping into the CFA.
Look at it this way, at the point in the season that we're at right now, would you want someone of Caballero's caliber in net or Ter Stegen? Those of you claiming we should just be going for someone of Willy's level don't seem to notice that swapping Willy for ter Stegen, regardless of who the starter will be, improves the squad.
