Transfer Rumour Joe Hart

Caolam · August 17, 2016

I have just read that Hart's fee is £40 mill plus £200,000 a week wages. I know papers like to sensationalise but that is ridiculous.
Maybe half that and even then it is a risk.

I don't think we'd have many issues with whatever the fee might be if we want him.

I'm not sure we'd go that high for wages though.

City are getting a replacement for somewhere in the region of £21 mill. I would have an issue with paying twice that amount for the player being replaced.

After Stones first game/cock up ,they probably want to recoup some dosh.

I've given up on caring about transfer fees to be honest. Makes no real difference to me.

I don't watch City regularly so it's hard for me to judge him fairly or get that excited about this one. I can just remember the times he's been dropped after high profile errors and his performances for England which haven't been exceptional by any means.

I get the impression that he used to be better than he is now.

Stringing the window over so long takes the excitement out of it. The window should close before the season opens.

£40m + £200k per week?!

I wouldn't even want him on a free!

You see, comments like this baffle me.

Y'know, if we'd had Casillas in net for the past decade, I'd get it. But fgs, we've had Tim Howard, Iain Turner, Carlo Nash and Joel Robles...

Because I don't rate him! What's baffling about that?

He's Tim Howard mkII - gets himself too wound up for matches then goes and drops blunders.

Way too much we don't want their cast offs
Never rated him as a top keeper

It has gone mad. As soon as Jordan Ibe went for 15 million it was clear transfer fees were a nonsense. Just forget the money, it's not from our pocket anyway, just focus on the player. Everton are better with Joe Hart than without.

I think it's ok to take cast offs from a team that wins the league quite often.

That's probably how Leeds fans felt after signing the likes of Seth Johnson for £7m.

Unlike Captain 'Murica though, Hart is well capable of producing ridiculous match-winning saves and having blinding games where he's unbeatable. He'd save us more points than he'd lose, without a doubt
