Why are we doing this? He is not England's #1. He wasn't good enough for the Italian club. We have Adrian and Randolph. Sorry, but I think this is one bad trade.
Because he's an improvement on what we have and the manager wants him?
Adrian and Randolph appeared to be in a competition to see who could get dropped the quickest last season....and Slav left it a bit too late when dropping Randolph
We conceded X amount of goals way too many and this will hopefully help stop that, but there are no guarantees in football
I still have serious reservations about this deal as I have written previous; regarding his form, disrupting our other two GK's, and how this deal is structured (loan, could leave us in the lurch next season).
However, I will concede that at his best he is a top GK. If he does well and decides to sign with us long term it could be a very good deal for us, as at 30 he has many years ahead as a top GK. On top of this, both our current boys had pretty poor seasons last, and finally he is English, which is needed for our team as our homegrown quota is quite low at the mo!
Really hoping this all goes well. I will support him with all I've got. Come on Hart! COYI
Hart chose the number 25 shirt and if you read what Randolph said you'd know that they were told that Hart is first choice keeper this season which is why he left.

I didn't know whether to laugh or rant, but essentially, she argues that since Pickford and Butland will be 1 & 2, either Pope or Hart will be 3rd choice, and that Hart would be better in that (essentially non-playing) role.

Missed this one from this morning. So definitely no deal agreed as part of the loan

Only because he will achieve instant legend status by refusing to take part in any squad where Marky Mark is not called up.
But not having much success ;weep When I try to embed it, I only get the text. Maybe the forum permissions don't allow it.
I will delegate to my trusty IT assistant ;wink
Me too, now - not sure what the delay was.

Thought it meant we had made it official ;doh
Hadn't thought of the possible impact.
Title changed now.
