Good signing, but something intrinsically irritating about him. Like not even a subconscious thing, I could give you a list.

We are talking about a washed up goalkeeper not Jose!

The correct number for a backup keeper. Sanity has returned.

Well 13 in England technically is the correct number with 30 or 31 as third. Vorm wore this for us.

But 12 is also a good shout and often used by clubs / players who are a bit superstitious about wearing 13, plus the legend that is Radek Cerny also wore it for us!

Could be 13 is being saved if we get Callum Wilson although would have thought he might also take 9?

Surprised he didn’t take 25 though as vacant and a favourite number of his in the past.

The 3rd choice keeper at a top prem club is the secret best job in the world. You just get to live as a prem footballer front row seat at all the games, huge salary. With none of the pressure or anything of having to perform in front of thousands of people.

It's a dream job.
No. Playing elite football week in and week out for a top team in front of thousands is a dream job! Training all week with your team mates knowing that you will sit on the bench is just embarrassing for a player who has won what Hart has won.

Imagine if Joe overturned Lloris and became our number one keeper ?

Joe Hart MOTM performance at the Lane:

Fuck me - what a match. As soon as we got linked to Hart this game came to mind - he made more brilliant saves in the first half hour than he probably made in his entire 2 year stint at Burnley.

I have to say, that has to be my favourite Spurs team ever. Not the best, but my favourite.

Bale and Lennon on the wings; big man Crouch knocking it down to Defoe; the hulking, twinkletoed Huddlestone paired with the lithe, majestic Modric in the middle; King Ledley and Daws flanked by housewive's favourite Corluka and Disco "I don't even like football" Benny. Oh, and the Octopus in nets.

What a fun team that was.

I dunno man. If he genuinely wants to stay at a top club then why not spend his days at the state of the art Hotspur Way rather than whatever the fuck the rat infested Burnley training ground is called.

He can't get a 1st team PL gig anymore and no way will a Championship side pay him £30k p/w. Being a small, but potentially impactful, part of something larger at a team like Spurs while making a solid living could be seen as more dignified than tramping around in, say, Preston for 5-10k.

I know which one I would pick.

Plus he'll likely get minutes in the Europa League and Carabao cup.

He seems a pretty poor GK these days even for the odd league cup game. Free and HG is the golden ticket I suppose, but is there nothing promising in the academy that could've filled this spot
Careful Kaz - new SC rule - you're only allowed to give your opinion on Joe Hart if you can name an alternative 3rd choice keeper :whistle:

That was the team that made me follow Spurs... So you can blame them. :)

Or, as it was, complaining about signing a 3rd choice keeper that you deem 'not good enough' to be on the team sheet - thus the question of 'who else then?'

The statement of "that's someone else's job" is redundant because they've already done it - it was your opinion that he isn't good enough, so therefore it's fully qualified to ask for your alternative.

Better than Green for Chelsea or Carson for City. At least if push came to shove and Hart had to play in the PL for us I would only minorly be shitting myself.

I like the positivity Hart has. He seems to be hungry to rediscover his former glories. None of us know the ins and outs of why he fell.from grace. He may not find the sort of form.he was in when he played for England on 70 odd occasions. But then again, he might. I'm.also extremely jealous of the mans ripped physique! Sure, he loves himself a bit, but that generally comes.with the territory.

Absolutely no need for so much negativity.

Even if Hart is in the background at the club with no real playing input, he can be a positive influence. Deserves more respect in my humble.opinion.

12 is what I use in football manager, that's where I get all my football knowledge from.

Funny the amount of bedwetting in here. We have signed a prem league title winner and vastly experienced former England international as 3rd choice goalkeeper. It's a massive win imo. At best he could push Lloris for the number 1 spot (I doubt this will happen) and at worst he's an experienced voice in the changing room. Literally no downside imo.
