    Well being English doesn't make someone a hun. Plenty of good English people around. You have to be Unionist, Racist and Sectarian to wear that badge. Most of the English actually find all the badge kissing, Rule Britania and GSTQ stuff amusing. It doesn't happen anywhere else

    Well aye, City won the title when I was like 14 and I enjoyed watching them and English football as a whole when I was younger. It's no that mental of a claim that I had seen the starting goalkeeper for one of the best teams in england play for a while hahahah, he's no some obscure player.

    He's a good goalkeeper but as I said he'll continue making errors sometimes when put under pressure and when playing out from the back which is obviously the style of play Ange wants. There's a difference between punting a ball and finding a player and playing out from the back, I was meaning he was poor at the latter.

    He's not as good a keeper as FF imo, and not a signing I was in any way excited about but I'm warming to him. He seems delighted to be here and wants to improve so happy days.

    He chooses to be here. FF chose not to be here.

    Well time will obviously tell but he's played a handful of games and he's had one error that's cost us a goal.

    I think Pep got rid of him right away because he knew he can't play that way. Then Bravo was punted because you need more to be a good goalkeeper than playing out from the back n Bravo wasn't showing that during his time at City.

    Therein lies the problem. Not many goalkeepers even at the elite level are masters of the full range of requirements.
    Bravo came from Barcelona as well!!
    Time will tell, that we we have a good custodian between the posts & I’m happy with Joe.

    Peps a *. He also blew about 500m on defenders. Hart is qaulity. Glad the mighty pep doesn't understand that. Now he's ours.

    I am also happy with Hart he's a good goalkeeper, wasn't trying to make out as if he was a bad signing or anything because I feel that part of his game isn't good.

    Imagine FF trying to pass the ball about like Hart is doing.

    Just because he chose to be here doesn't make him a better keeper than FF. Foster was brilliant for us and had world class performances for us at times and deserved far more recognition for his form in terms of national call ups.

    This isn't me slating Hart, as mentioned I wasn't overly keen on the signing but have definitely warmed to him. I would love it if Hart hit the same standard as FF while he was here.

    Forster's fault was that he didn't play for a big 4 English side, Hart did. That is more often than not what the England national team selection policy is.

    Having said that, have no big issues with Hart. He's a leader, very good communicator and he makes good saves. Night and day compared to what we had last year.

    A keepers job first and foremost is to stop the ball hitting the back of the net. FF done that brilliantly for us. I honestly hope Harts time with us is as successful as FF, but I personally would prefer FF over JH.

    100% agree. Really hope Hart is as successful as foster for us. (and him).
    He seems like a top bloke that wants to succeed and is greatful for the opportunity.

    Him being here & FF not being here makes him a better goalkeeper for us this season.
    I wasn’t questioning who was the better overall keeper, although Joe was regarded far higher at his peak by the epl & national managers.
    I do agree for us, FF was excellent.

    Not sure that’s accurate over recent history. lucky if they have a goalkeeper at the big 4.
    in fact not sure over last 50- 60 years.

    You must have missed Hart making important saves in both legs against AZ. Why do you think Hart was preferred to him as England number 1 ? FF was my favourite ever Celtic keeper but to make out like he's a far better keeper than Joe Hart is mental. I would say Hart is better at commanding his area as well as better with his feet.

    I was talking about players in general. If there is a choice between a top 4 player and a player at a mid-table or bottom of the league team, the top 4 player will get chosen for the squad always. See call ups given to Smalling, Lingard, Walcott etc when they were playing rubbish/not playing in the past.

    P.S: Pretty sure Seaman was at a top four club when he was playing for Arsenal. Tim Flowers at Blackburn was in a top 4 side when he was getting called up. Ditto Martyn at Leeds.
