Player Watch: Joe Hart

[Mouse!]

I’m very excited to see what SC’s resident Bob Dylan’s can come up with. Lots to work with here.

TalkSPORT saying deal done

I’ll take Owner of a Lonely Hart for 500, please Alex.

José filling the squad with leaders and big voices. Fine by me.

 

[totty]

It just makes perfect sense.

Football fans has to be less of an idealist and more of a pragmatist.
These fans just give focus on the problem and giving a rational solution.

Hart in on a free and Gazzaniga out on a fee would mean money towards another position where we need fixing.

In truth, how often does Gazzaniga gets to play a season? it's a high opportunity cost.

Before anyone mention Hugo's injury, we all know that's a freak injury, what are the chances of a first choice keeper being out long term?

Like what many said, Hart's a title winner, HG, low wages, good personality in the dressing room, willing to be backup at this stage of his career and a solid shot stopper.

And most importantly, Jose's nemesis Pep got rid of him due to his inability to play the ball to feet thus he'll be motivated to play for Jose.
Goalkeepers' main job are to stop shots, period.

The English press crucified him after high profile errors with England that he never recovered from, not too dissimilar to what Robbo faced after the Croatia bobble.

Keepers thrive on confidence.

English, experienced, won plenty and free... I can't get used to seeing us make transfers with a bit of logic!

 

[Kingellesar]

Weird one but ok. Makes sense, homegrown, experienced, won a lot.

 

[Spurrific]

It is a bit funny to read you lot lauding his winning mentality - hardly helped Burnley or West Ham, did it? He's here because he's free and homegrown, in a position that makes very little difference hopefully.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Very sensible

 

[ernest_lowrider]

as long as he's 3rd choice keeper and Gazza is not going anywhere it's a good business

You could stick Neuer between the sticks for Burnley or West Ham and they’d still win fuck all

 

[Mouse!]

Ok I’ve got another one:

Where do broken Hart’s go?

Spuds

 

[Spurrific]

I'm not talking his on-the-pitch performance, I'm saying his voice in the dressing room hardly helped instil a winning mentality there.

I'm not talking his on-the-pitch performance, I'm saying his voice in the dressing room hardly helped to install a winning mentality there.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that one player’s winning mentality is going to single-handedly win us trophies.

We didn’t win anything with Llorente, for example.

But it’s another small step in the right direction when it comes to mentality and leadership.

 

[Living Legend Colm G]

Having the ability to use twitter or read a paper does not make one on the pulse.

Damn! Was hoping it would get me a blue background eventually ?

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

If Hart becomes third choice keeper, what the hell,is the point in having ‘young’ keepers at the club? They will never have a chance.

 

[tiger666]

Whoever performs better in training will get to replace Lloris.

 

[felmani26]

I'll be glad to get this long drawn out transfer saga to a close....

 

[C0YS]

Hart is a keeper who would be great in a low block situation as he commands his area really well (crosses), and his weakness with his feet will not matter. I do not see the reason to keep Gazzaniga as Hart would be an adequate number 2 and the 3rd keeper should be a home grown youth product.

The problem is that was the logic last season, and Lloris got injured and, erm, we got Vorm in.

If we think Austin/Whitemen are good enough great. If not, no you need 3 dependable keepers. A keeper out of their depth really stands out and can cost you very dearly.

 

[wishkah]

he used to be head and shoulders above the rest, think it's an astute signing.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

This is all very well, and I appreciate the HG issue behind this.
However Joe Hart is really crap.
Do we really want really crap players at Spurs?
