markjazzbassist Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Koeman has just said in his press conference that he has no interest in Joe Hart. Â Ah well. Â thank God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristagi Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hart would serve two purposes, a number one keeper and a big name signing. I really wanted him but I'm glad RK isn't being sucked into spending stupid amounts of money on a player surplus to another club. Hart MAY be a slightly better keeper than Begovic on his day but showing good business sense and that we are doing this build right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Begovic- 1) Isn't a better keeper than Hart. 2) Isn't a "name" that will convince other players that we have "ambition". 3) hasn't played much 1st team football for 90mins in 3 years,so he'll be rusty to say the least. 4) will need time to get up to speed.

Aidan Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hart is over rated how ever you look at it. It wouldn't surprise me if city had been trying to replace him for a few seasons now. He's not in the tier 1 of keepers in the prem let alone the world. Begovic would prove to be a better signing once he gets up to speed. I can only think of Robert Green that's more notorious of making mistakes as much as Hart he's so sloppy. Â He's a big name, not a big player.

Peter H Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hart is a fantastic keeper. Anyone who thinks differently is wrong. Begovic is untested so there is no way of knowing. Â I am ok with sticking with Stek though. Hart costs too much. Thats not the kind of money I would invest in a keeper. We have more urgent positions to tend to. Replacement for Lukaku (I still think that he is leaving deadline day) A second striker and a defender. Â If we keep McCarthy (which I hope we do) we are ok in the middle.

c1982 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hart is a fantastic keeper. Anyone who thinks differently is wrong. Begovic is untested so there is no way of knowing. Â I agree on Hart but Begovic is far from untested - he spent 5 years as first choice at Stoke and was probably their best player during that time. A bad career move to Chelsea shouldn't overshadow what a top class goalkeeper he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id only be able to afford Bendner. I would however prefer Gabbiadini based on the fact that we need another attacker more than we need another keeper. Hart is a great great keeper though.  Had we not bought Stek it would have been a no brainer.

There is no way Hart is overrated considering the amount of shite aimed at him. I think it's down to the gutter press looking for culprits. Hart makes a mistake -> defeat was his fault even though the entire team was shite. And then people pick up on this and suddenly it's fact.

c1982 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Â True, but its been a long benching. Seen good players destroyed by the bench. He hasn't - he only went last summer and played a large part of the season due to Courtios' absence. He's essentially had half a season on the bench.

Sibdane Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm not anti-Hart, but the prices for him being discussed are massively inflated in my opinion. I don't think there's a big difference in terms of ability between him and Begovic. Â ...Now watch us go out and get Begovic for 25m.

Lowensda Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 We've previously relied on Liverpool having shit keepers. Not that we did well in those circumstances, them having a decent one is scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 It would be odd if we aren't in for him! Although Steck has been class. We're the highest profile club in the league without a top keeper, 12 months ago we'd have been laughed at if we thought he come here. We're his best option in the PL because he's not going to get in any of the so called bigger clubs! Â Forget his mistakes, what I like about him is that he's vocal and seems captain material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
