I don't understand why we want to disrupt a solid part of the squad for this guy.
there are far more important issues that need to take priority before goalkeepers,
and that is getting at least two strikers ASAP.
But it isn't either or, is it?
The club are clearly working on a number of fronts to try to get forwards in.
Assuming the Hart deal is true, arranging it won't have any influence on our ability to get strikers, will it?
You're saying the £2m is the loan fee?
I can see a number of things that stops it being a no-brainer...
It improves the squad for 1 year (if we accept Hart is an improvement on Randolph) but where are we after the loan ends? The squad then is weaker than it was a year ago. Which is a worry, for me: I want us to be looking to long-term building, not short term fixes season by season.
If Hart has a stormer of a year, his selling price will be (possibly) too high for us. Or he may want to use us a stepping stone to reignite his career and he'll be off, even if we can afford it. (See my previous comment about a long-term approach to our transfer dealings.)
I would think it perhaps more likely that Adrian would want out, rather than Randolph? Possibly? Thus making the problems in a year even worse?
I'm not saying don't loan him, I'm just saying that I think it isn't as obviously a no-brainer as you say it is.
Hart made a few mistakes, especially when coming out for the ball,’ assessed Cairo.
‘He is an important goalkeeper. We probably didn’t expect so many mistakes from an England international… but he did some good things, too.’
I've seen the Hart move reported as a loan with a buy at the end, which makes sense of Twists post. Although not sure £2m loan fee would cover it. ;ok
Even if he makes a couple of mistakes while regaining his confidence, we'd probably have got that from the other two anyway.
And he's captained Man City and England and knows what he's talking about at the back in terms of concentration and organisation.
Talking of heads
think he much better than what we already have anyway.
This headline made me laugh not quite sure where they got the emotional farewell to legendary bit from ;lol
Cedric Bakambu has signed two-year contract extension, the La Liga club have confirmed.

bye bye ;adrian ?
Still a decent signing though, and if we could get Hart and Hernandez I'd be one very very happy Hammer
I'd rather have Hart and Adrian but I'm not sure Adrian would stand for being pretty much a permanent second choice, whereas Randy may do, but for the WC
If they need the money they get rid of Adrian, I can see Randy going to a challenging championship team
Click bait at its finest
