    Loan to buy deal. If we're not interested in decent players then we may as well be scouring Leagues 1 and 2.

    They eventually sought out some deep cover ;hmm
  • stevesteve
    don't class Hart as a decent player

    On the other hand he'll be busting a gut to make sure he is englands number one when they crash out miserably in the group stages of next year's World Cup finals

    We will get the strikers but facts remain, keep clean sheets and you only need one goal.

    Sam, is that you?

    from the quote mentioned recently, he wants to go to a club that actually wants him as their goalkeeper. So, if we show him the love, there's a player that can rebuild his confidence and we'll benefit. Who would've envisaged such circumstances a couple of years ago ( as in we'd be in for England no1 GK )? We'd never been in with a shout of him. Dont get me wrong, I like Adrian and hes a decent player. But if Hart gets back to near his best then we'll have a more than decent GK who may want to stay with us because we showed faith in him ;hmm

    On the bright side, Fortune, you have just won the race to take us into the 94th page with no fee bearing signings

    I would rather we had treated the early part of this window like a 20 20 match hammering sixes everywhere and getting some deals done!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Only player hammering sixes everywhere was Braithwaite, and he's just signed for Boro ;yercoat

    Fair warning:

    As a courtesy to other users, further posts on here that are purely 'bump-fodder' will be hived off to their own thread. (And we may even take retrospective action, if needed. Oh yes.)

    Didn't we have one of those once before?

    I thought he was Englands Number 6. ;lol

    Each to there own but it is strange to me that people don't think that Hart is a step up from what we have. And I love Adrian.

    the fact that no one else seems interested in Hart tells its own story

    Because he is grossly out of form to the point the torino chairman literally said they expected him to be better

    He hasn't exactly lit up the EPL for the last couple years and he has been dropped from the England squad

    Find it ironic that the many people that say it's only one bad season he had also forgetting fact that up untill this year not a single person cared that we had Adrian in the team.....surely if Hart is allowed a bad season then so is Adrian

    Most importantly it's not that he's not an upgrade on Adrian/Randy that people are against this it's the fact that there are far more pressing concerns in the squad and Harts wage alone could potentially affect more important transfers I.e. some reliable and superior strikers
  • LukerzLukerz
    But we can sign other players whilst still looking to sign strikers
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I think people are perfectly able to accept a bad keeper is a bad keeper, whether that's Adrian or Hart.

    The reason I am happy with Hart is that I know that, at his best, he's much better than Adrian will ever be.

    It wasn't very long ago at all that he was considered one of the best in the world by practically everybody, managers and pundits alike.

    He's lost confidence because somebody regularly cited as the best manager in the world, Guardiola, came in and booted him out without a chance. That's got to hurt.

    Then he goes to Torino low on confidence, probably trying too hard to prove himself, in a new league with a different style, in an average team facing a lot of pressure in matches, and it's no real shock he didn't do great.

    But he is a leader and the worst part of our season last season, worst than anything else, was the shambolic organisation of our back 4/5, and the pathetic way we capitulated after going a goal down time and again.

    Having a very accomplished leader and PL winner organising the back four will be a huge bonus.

    And, when he gets his confidence back, he will, IMO, return to being considered one of the best in the league.

    Yes, 'calamity' James... Harts still young in GK terms (and normally we'd not be in with a chance of him IMO) and has a few years as a top player if he regains that confidence. Whilst I won't be upset at all if he doesnt come (wages mainly), i'll be happy to see him organizing our defence if he doesarrive.

    Are you saying you think he's an upgrade or not? And reports suggest we are to pay half half his wages.

    Just because we badly need strikers doesn't mean we shouldn't improve other positions if opportunities come up. If for whatever reason we fail to sign a striker I'd rather we had improved the rest of the team than not.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So it is reported we will pay half of his £100k wage - what an abolsutely cracking deal. Can't me on Dave's, close the deal quickly. On those terms it would be an outstanding deal for a true leader on the field.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Looks like it might be announced today
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    It's obvious we need a striker, but our defence last season was an absolute shambles, a much bigger problem than going forward.

    Hart and Zab are two excellent signings, both in quality and in their leadership abilities.

    Great window so far.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Jorderz ;ok
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Newcastle now linked with Randolph.

    Barcelona front man Munir El Haddadi for 8-10 million is being mentioned on media outlets.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Surely that's Barcelona 'B' frontman?
  • imagelostimagelost
    Thought Newcastle wanted hart
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    So it's entirely possible (assuming the rumour has legs)

    We sign Hart on loan. He does really well, but doesn't want to sign for us at the end of the season and goes off to another club.

    We lose at least one of Randy and Adrian.

    We start next season looking for a new keeper.

    Not sure that works out so well for us.
  • imagelostimagelost
    If the Dave's pull this joe hart thing off, there no doubting them of not afraid to spend money.
