Maureen has the Hart

Not open for further replies.
Hart hasn't learned any lessons at all since he got dropped by England. The feedback was clear enough: he got himself too psyched-up, to the point where he distracted his teammates as well as himself, his concentration levels were too erratic and there were also basic technical issues to work on. And he's responded by carrying on as before, but with occasional 'I'm back!' interviews with his media mates. He's not just shite he's also stupid.
 
I would prefer him to Adrian for starters.

Same age, more of a leader and vastly experienced.
 
Why is this stupid? cheap , experienced and most importantly homegrown - can't really see how they go wrong with this, what he plays a couple of league cup games or something.
 
An old experienced cheap goalkeeper as backup....what a ridiculous idea. No other team would ever be that dumb.
It's not a dumb idea per se, but is he really that old?
Also, Spurs has Gazzaniga as their 2nd choice and he's not terrible.
Is he not good enough to be first choice in a Championship team?
 
He can't be relied on, so it's say he's not good enough to be first choice at any club any more. I also don't know why he good enough to be 2nd choice either

He could do the Andy lonergan role (i.e glorified training cone and cheerleader) well though

Leader? Because he shouts sometimes? He was decent but overrated, then he was shite. He had talent. If he had worked more on that than his attitude he could have been excellent.

He was Captain for City and England at some point. That must count for something? Though I don't admit to knowing too much about him.

He's played over 400 games and is long past his best. His playing career is essentially over. So in football terms, he's old.

You can have more than 2 keepers. Also Hart adds to their homegrown quota and presumably can help out with coaching as he has played at the top level for a long time.

No...not a good/ambitious championship team anyway. He really is a bit crap nowadays.

In that case he's a perfect fit.

I think he was being sarcastic mate, i mean it's what we did last year. I'm not sure Hart has any brains they've got Lloris Gazanegga and Vorm and now Hart. He's not going to play any games, let's be honest.

Was he?
Anyway, it's not entirely the same situation we had. We didn't have a backup keeper.
Lonergan was essentially our 4th choice keeper.

I mean unless Mourinho isn't happy with Gazzaniga then Hart is going to get zero playing time.
Spurs is basically a paycheck for him. In that case yeah, his career is basically over.
 
Mainly homegrown player issue. Read that they were considering Ben Foster too.

https://www.football.london/tottenh...w-tottenhams-homegrown-squad-numbers-18100828
[article]In Mourinho's Premier League squad submitted in February after the last window closed, he only named 20 players in a list that could contain 25.

That is partly because only four homegrown players were named in Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Harry Winks and Davies, which meant four spaces had to be left. Eric Dier remains non-homegrown.

That means one other foreign players could have been named, not including Wanyama who was named in the Premier League squad.

Other young players like Parrott, Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp, Gedson Fernandes and Juan Foyth were able to be named on the U21 list.

So in terms of the next window where do Tottenham stand?

Wanyama has now left the club so Tottenham have the exact amount of foreign players required for a European squad.

That would mean that in terms of their European squad Tottenham cannot sign any more foreign players to use without removing others.

However, it's worth noting that Jan Vertonghen and Vorm's contracts are both set to expire and should both depart then Tottenham will have two foreign player spots to work with, should they qualify for European football.

Should Danny Rose and Kyle Walker-Peters return then they will not impact squad numbers as they slip back into their homegrown player spots.

However, should they depart then Tottenham's lack of homegrown options will continue to be glaring.[/article]

[article]
Tottenham will still need to move on players if they are to add new signings to their European squad - if they qualify for such a competition.

They have one spot currently in their Premier League squad for a foreign player over the age of 21.


Wanyama's departure is balanced by the fact that Gedson Fernandes will no longer be able to be used on the U21 list in the next campaign.

Vorm and Vertonghen's future will dictate what happens next with the Premier League list.

I don’t know - it’s Mourinho- he may have come up with a new defensive tactic of playing 2 or more keepers at once.
 
I would prefer him to Adrian for starters.

Don't forget that Adrian replaced HIM!

He's bad news. He'd wreck the dressing room spirit. He makes a point of dwelling on poor performances and results in the mistaken belief it shows how committed to the cause he is. All he does is spread pessimism and resentment.

He's also the most damned by his own stats, and, as I said, he never does anything about it. For example: when he came back to England at West Ham, other clubs' analysts noted he had an inability to make low left-hand saves, so the strikers picked out their places and scored loads against him. What were the stats when he left West Ham? Apparently he had an inability to make low left-hand saves. What the hell does he do in training? Keepers are so analysed these days that you can't just accept a weakness if you want to survive - other clubs will exploit it remorselessly.

A similar thing happened at Burnley. The club's own analysts noted he was poor at claiming high balls. They coached and coached him to improve. Why was he eventually replaced by Pope? One reason, the manager said, was that Pope was 'very good at collecting high balls'.

Other keepers are open to coaching and working hard to adapt and evolved. Hart just thinks more sweat, bigger muscles and more will power is the answer. He's a classic English bonehead who is forever puzzled why life seems to keep passing him by. It's because he's nailed his own feet to the floor.
 
Great to see. Not only is he shite (exposed by xG vs GC stats) but he’ll be on a hefty wage which is always good to see rivals sign up to.
 
I remember years ago he got booked in penalty shoot out of an England U21 semi final and missed the final (2009 maybe?) and missed the final as he had been booked in another game. Didn't take much to notice he was an absolute twat.
 
I remember years ago seeing the stupid twat singing oasis in training whilst getting shots pinged at him.
