Would you want him next year if Guardiola does indeed sell him for a 'Sweeper Keeper'?

A step up on on Mignolet but still prone to the occasional error.
I would hope that we could do better for a lesser price but I am just guessing/hoping as I haven't go a clue about the quality of keepers outside the Premier League.
I think there are at least four better keepers than him in the Premier league for a start

We're even being linked with Courtois. It's the silly season.

As for Hart, I find him a bit silly as a person - he seems to think he's part of some organic team instead of a conglomeration of mercenaries, of which it takes real imagination or stupidity to convince yourself - and he's not the most consistent of top keepers. I saw Jack Butland interviewed a while back and was struck by how refreshingly intelligent, mature and grounded he was, and he's got the potential to be as good as Hart, so if we're doing fantasy keepers I'll pick him.

Linked by France Football you say? Well, it not in doubt then...
I feel tense every time I see that ad, wondering what will come to an end sooner - the advertising contract or his hair.
So he wants a combination of frank Beckenbauer and Toni Schumacher?
Agree with all of that but, if Hart's the option and the money's right, I wouldn't hesitate.
A 29 year old keeper, England's number one, on a £120,000/ week contract that runs to 2019, and moving from City to another rival?
I'm not sure how I'd describe the money, but I'm not sure it's going to be "right"
Well, quite, which is why I did say "if". Everything would depend on how much Pep Gladioli wants (if indeed he does want) to replace him.
Whether Pep wants to replace him or not isn't going to really make much difference to the gigantic fee they'll be after.
It might not need to though. We're unquestionably going to have to pay shedloads, but if there's any wriggle room at all over the fee it just might make the vital difference.
Cheaper, yes. Better, I very much doubt, and it's a vital position to get right.
I not only noted that above, I also spelt his name right, you could have copied that! 😉
I think Hart would be a good fit.
For a while now we have had keepers that are strong in some areas and weak in others while Hart seems to be pretty solid across the board.
Reina was great with his distribution but towards the end struggled to stop shots, Ming's distribution is bottom 5 of the league bad and although he has a reputation of a shot stopper he hasn't proven to be that great at that part of the game either.
Reina had decent command of his box but was always a shade on the small side physically, Ming is fairly big but doesn't use it to his advantage and rarely commands his area.
In my view Hart isn't necessarily exceptional in any one area but he is very solid across the board. He also has had probably his most consistent season to date this year.
He is big, he commands his area fairly well, his distribution isn't top class but it's miles better than Ming's and he makes a lot of decent saves. Maybe most importantly as well, he isn't nearly as fragile mentally as Ming.

Yeh, cos Cech has been a terrible signing for Arsenal.
^^ this. Money better spent shoring up the defence.
Cech has been worth the 10 pts - not! His best years are well behind him, and Arsenal inability to challenge for anything meaningful cannot be solved by signing a top g.k. anyway. Don't think Joe Hart is all that either. He's easily beaten, and his only redemption has been City's relatively solid defence. I suspect Ming's ahead of him on clean sheets in 2016 aswell..😉
City's relatively solid defence. Hahahahaha
I want some boss keeper I've never heard of, who we end up calling 'the cat', and makes everything look easy, and exudes confidence.
All I can tell you, is that Hart as an Anagram is RATH.
Sounds better than the Cat to me Doc
Every single Liverpool fan who isn't a total spastic would prefer Cech or Hart in goal to Mignolet
