Transfer Rumour Joe Hart

[Tubey]

I also think he isn't bad, but worth the money we'd have to pay to get him? I'm not so sure

If we're going to spend a huge wedge on an English goalkeeper, I'd be going for Forster and Butland over Hart if I'm honest

Very much this.

Are you new here mate?

well, no one sensible

 

[kithnou]

well, no one sensible

Don't go there

 

[Pabbers]

Vaulters dream this thread when he rocks up and looks utterly top drawer.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

To be fair I've always disliked his arrogant self regard, but being the only good goalie available in the whole world would do that to you ,I suppose.

 

[Pabbers]

Forster is not same level as Hart, not a chance, and they are the same age.

Why? Nobody is saying he's awful.

It's just that it'd be near a club record fee and club record wages for a goalkeeper - to justify that, he'd have to be absolutely sensational. Is Joe Hart likely to be that good? That's the question people are asking.

 

[neil999]

problem is we dunno what the fee would be and we dont know what the fee for butland/forster would.. be so difficult to compare, i suspect bualand/forster arent available unless crazy price(40mill plus)

I strongly disagree mate

I think Forster should be England #1

Again, titles make no odds for a goalkeeper - Victor Valdes won loads at Barcelona and he was always average at best. If you're at a top club, you face less shots on goal.

Daft comparison. Valdes was the goalkeeper for probably the most dominant club side of all time. Man City over the last 8/9 years are not comparable to Barcelona.

"Titles make no odds for a goalkeeper" - Tell that to Neville Southall.

"If you're at a top club, you face less shots on goal" - Top goalkeepers are the ones who can not be needed for 89 minutes, and pull out a match winning save in the 90th. If you are planning on facing 20 shots a game and keeping 17 of them out, i'd suggest a Rob Green.

Whether you're going off stats, honours, reputation or whatever, Joe Hart comes out as one of the very best in the league for the last 7 or 8 years. I honestly can't believe people think we are in a position to turn our noses up at a player like that.

I would imagine the prices would be similar, owing to all three of them being English

The best option really would have been to go in for Tom Heaton before he signed his new Burnley contract, but we didn't have a manager yet at that point so hey-ho

Butland would be my first choice, followed by Forster and then Hart

I'd have all three at Everton tbf, but I'd only be prepared to spend silly money on the first two

If we get a good deal for Hart, or a loan, then fair enough, but I really don't think we should be sperlunking big money on him

Surely Koeman knows some good young Dutch keepers in the Eredivisie who could we could get a good deal on?

For a mega money permanent transfer - no.

On loan for a season giving him a chance to prove a few wrong - a definite yes.

 

[ijjysmith]

Butland should be. Once his ankle stops breaking.

I would also be fine with this

Agreed, but he's currently out so I'd go Forster atm
