Worth mentioning that iGi's post has the same emoji as Joe Hart's instagram post this morning.

He's a lot nearer 34 than 33...that's a fact!How old is he?
A twat in the hand is worth two in the bushHe may be a twat, but he is our twat now.
Fuck me Columbo is a spurs fan?
I cant believe he is younger than Lloris.He's a lot nearer 34 than 33...that's a fact!
Yep 100% this. These types of characters in the make-up of a squad can make a huge difference, you and I might not notice it because we don't see behind the scenes (until ALL or NOTHING is released) but the conversations Hart will have with the other players etc all go a long way to helping develop the mentality and togetherness and belief in the squad.Something to note.....
Listening to the View from the Lane podcast (very good pod btw) and Charlie Eccleshare was telling a story about when Mark Schwarzer came in as backup to Petr Cech at Chelsea. Schwarzer explained how empowered and important Mourinho made him feel. JM told MS that the players all respected him and he should make sure he talked to all of them more and be as involved as possible. It made him feel really valued as part of the squad.
I think JM has the same thing in mind for Joe.
Joe Hart has not been signed as a 'number two' or a 'number three' or a 'number one' but simply as a goalie on a two year contract. That doesn't imply that Paulo Gazzaniga is being moved on at all. I expect to see all three goalkeepers play for Spurs this coming season.Put Hugo or Gazza in a West Ham or Torino defence and see how they fair. Hart is a model professional for the game and if he's in as a number two behind Hugo and if we sell Gazza then those two will be brilliant experience for any youth goalkeepers or young signings to work with. The experience and work ethic Hart will add to the dressing room will be great for team morale.

I don’t disagree but given Gazza’s age and the fact we could get a decent fee for him, I don’t think we would rule out selling him. It was purely speculation however I did read in an article by the the times IIRC that we’re willing to sell. Coincided with our HG numbers it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get another home grown keeper but too big of an ask currently.
Joe Hart MOTM performance at the Lane:
Highlights: Spurs 0-0 Man City | Tottenham Hotspur
Highlights of our 0-0 Premier League draw against Man City.www.tottenhamhotspur.com
That sounds like a pretty realistic plan. I’ve no idea what Whiteman and Austin are like but a loan move would definitely be beneficial so see if there’s anything about them.I reckon the plan will be to keep Gazza for one more season, send Whiteman and Austin out on loan for the season.
Next season, we'll look to sell Gazza and promote have either Whiteman or Austin as 3rd/2nd choice, depending on who performed better on loan.
Obviously if someone comes in with a good offer for Gazza, we'll probably take it - but just don't think we're actively looking to sell him just yet.
