Hart > Barkas

No. No. No. No. No. No.

Barry Coffey has joined Cork City on loan.

I think heā€™ll do well at Celtic

He doesnā€™t have the mentality to play for Celtic. If we have a goalkeeping problem, Joe Hart will certainly not fix it.

Guardiola turfed Hart out because he canā€™t pass the ball short, medium or long and thus he was exactly what they didnā€™t want for a team that builds up from the back with the keeper heavily involved. Ange wants to build up in a similar way so I donā€™t think Hart would be a good fit for Celtic. Heā€™d still be better than Barkas obviously (the drummer from Def Leppard would be too in fairness) but I donā€™t think heā€™s what we need.

We need a goalkeeping solution and Joe Hart isnā€™t that !

Problem with him has always been his concentration levels rather than his ability which was excellent bar his kicking.

Wouldnā€™t fancy him at this stage with his reflexes dulled and basically no gametime for years. Id imagine he is expensive enough for what he is now as well.

He doesnā€™t have it between his ears. He would blow up in Glasgow with the pressure.

We have a goalkeeping problem, Joe Hart is certainly not going to fix or address that.

Cost me a fortune on an accumulator when he threw one in against Chelsea for City there a few years ago.

Heā€™d be an absolute cert for a clanger against them in a big game.

As much as he isnā€™t Ederson with the ball at his feet heā€™s not Forster or even Craig Gordon either. Iā€™m neither for or against this signing because I havenā€™t seen him recently at all and didnā€™t see his decline either really. But I donā€™t think Barkas or Bain are going to be pinging it to wingers accurately either.

I was completely opposed to Hart this time last year, Iā€™d organise the private jet myself for him now as opposed to a season of Barkas and Bain jumping away from the ball. Sure it may be a reflection of where we have fallen in twelve months, but we canā€™t be picky now given the options

Iā€™d prefer to actually buy a decent goalkeeper. They are not ten a penny you know. Plenty of them out there.

Sergio Romero is available on a free.

Example Numero Uno.

He probably wouldnā€™t be looking for much more than Hart either.

I was thinking just this. There must be good keepers around whoā€™d jump at the chance. We donā€™t even need someone stellar. Just solid.

Iā€™m going to throw a name out there.

Darren Randolph. Solid keeper, comfortable enough with it at his feet. Probably get him for Ā£2m.

Absolutely, but he seems to have thrown in the towel to be a benchwarmer these days?

Good shout.
