Â Arguably one of the most important positions on the pitch and they're just using him and chancing his "shit" level of ability because he's filling the English quota? Wow. Delph, Roberts are squad players....they DON'T play. Hart has played continuously for 8 seasons. Â Your reasonings MJB are ridiculous.

Hafnia Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 If you were to draw a picture of the perfect goalkeeper - he would look similar to Hart. Great presence, brilliantly agile, great shot stopper. Â He's probably just been battered about mentally and needs a break. He's not an average keeper at all. Definitely in and around the top 10 in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hart is a perfect example of exactly what is wrong with the English press: build him up and ignore his mistakes when he's young and promising, give him a few years at the top, then suddenly expect perfection from him and tear him down for the same mistakes that were earlier ignored. He's a good keeper. Not absolutely brilliant, not shite and he always has been. Â Also hasn't Guardiola openly admitted that it's not his keeping abilities that are the problem, but his ability with the ball at his feet? You can't exactly call Everton possession obsessed now that Martinez is gone. Lowensda, nyblue23 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Tiger Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Guys I really don't think this is hard. One of the better managers in the world is replacing his keeper, and some are arguing we should pay more for Hart than they are paying for the keeper replacing him. Â Are we mental?

Hafnia Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Joe Hart has not been a keeper at Man City due to this homegrown nonsense. That is why they had Richard Wright on the books - they need to be in the squad not in the team. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so frustrated that we're still linked. Then again, the media need to be reporting that he's going somewhere.

Bailey Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Using stats to back up an opinion on a keeper is worthless because of the nature of the game. A busy keeper is always going to have the opportunity to have better stats. You could not have anything to do all game and then some whopper from a lower league club smashes one in top corner from 30 yards out because the CB couldn't be arsed to close him down properly as they were already 3 nil up. Â There is nothing wrong with Hart's mentality. Bale makes keepers look silly on a regular basis and the other goal he was blamed for was unlucky because he was there but on that day he just didn't get enough on it to push it round the post. The problem is the guy shouldn't have been able to shoot from that close to goal and so easily. Another yard, possibly half yard further out and Hart is given that split second he needed to get a proper hand to it. Â I'm sure plenty of you naysayers cream over Neuer yet his gaff in the final was far worse than Hart's. Â Hart is an excellent keeper, great shot stopper, leader and as far as I am concerned his distribution is more than good enough for a top team. He is far more commanding and assured that what we have now and whilst I do agree that it seems stupid to pay more for him than his replacement, if he was our keeper he would be a massive asset to the club.

Neil Stewart Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Buffon says only neuer and de gea are better than Hart. This is a guy who knows a thing or two about goalkeeping. I would have no worries about Hart being our no 1, but would prefer a permanent deal over a loan. EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Anyone recall Hart having a worldie other than one against Barca? Â De Gea pulls out the stops at an almost unbelievable rate, most Prem keepers will pull out a few games and win you points. When I've watched Hart he probs has a deficit when it come to gaining /losing goals. Stek has already helped us get 3 points with his saves, with stops I doubt Hart would have made.

Shukes Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have actually saw Hart make many great saves on regular occasions. Some against us. Â Forget his price and look at hos ability. Â For people to not think he would be a big upgrade for uses embarrassing, other fans read these posts and must be laughing at us. Â Anyone with an ounce of football knowledge will know that Hart is an upgrade for us, again...not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not just biased here either but haven't numerous experts broke it down and put the mid table standard far above those leagues. Meaning that the top teams face a higher standard week in week out, in the premier league? Or maybe I'm wrong.

England is 3rd rate league mate. Spain and Germany 1 and 2. Demonstrating a misunderstanding of these coefficients. The best 6 or so teams in Spain and Germany have performed better in European competition over the last several years than the best 6 or so teams in England. That does not mean that the leagues as a whole are better or that the competition that Hart faces against 19 other premier league teams is inferior to the competition Bravo or Neuer face day in/day out in their respective leagues. There are only so many Dortmunds, Wolfsburgs, and teams from Madrid. EFC-Paul and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
