This is not a hard one Pep, as there are many clubs who would be very pleased to have Joe in the Championship but as long as his wages are vastly inflated in proportion to his actual ability you will always struggle now. In my view Hart had his reputation inflated but the cat is out the bag as they say.
They have often been pros over 10 years, they are now passed their peak and in Joes case he isnt likely to go to a team who will improve his trophy cabinet. If i was on £150k a week, a load of trophies, international caps not to mention a lot of public ridicule why would i take a pay cut when i could just wait a year
The fact hes moved on to Torino and us show hes definately tried to reignite his career....however poorly its gone
The world has officially gone mad.
(I said that when Blackburn paid 3 million quid for Shearer).
Mentions possibly loaning out or selling a few of the young players but no mention of what he plans to do with Quina who is probably the best of the lot? I do hope we won't regret letting him go if that's what happens as he appears to be higher rated. Playing well for Portugal at an Under 19 tournament at the moment.
What does it all mean? ;wahoo

Potentially we could be signing anyone!
expected to soon be in position to potentially sign someone.
But then the body of the article names that someone and says that we have made a 17m euro offer for Thiago Mendes. Nothing conditional about that!!
The 'expected to be soon' is in the French, from what I can see, but my French isn't good enough to know if that is a good translation, or simply a slightly Google-fied one which might have a better translation, like 'preparing' or something:
et des clubs anglais comme West Ham devraient bientôt se positionner.
Another cheap coup for Wolves possibly
O
Hope that there is a pretty big future sell on fee as the boy has talent
Dont mind losing oxford for £12mil + and a good sell on fee as i dont think he is going to realise his potential unless he actually leaves
Gazetta Dello Sport reports the 25-year-old midfielder is valued at around £17.9m, and that both English clubs have made 'big offers' for him.
Unlikely to be true?
it was slightly unfortunate as Man City had 16 players at the World Cup so it was really their reserves, I truly only knew three names on the team sheet, Mahrez, Sane and a certain Joe Hart, and even he was on the bench!
To be fair he came on in the second half and played quite well with at least one really good save.
The player who caught my eye was Christian Pulisic of Dortmund, a couple of my work colleagues were talking about him as he is a rising star in the America’s, he is only 19 and looks a real talent.
He is not massive but very quick and he made a number of really great runs, certainly stood out from amongst the crowd, I notice that he got a couple against Liverpool yesterday.
There are reports that he could not accept the man of the match award against Liverpool as the sponsor is Heineken and he is under the legal drinking age, some stuff you cannot make up.
In any case, I know we are in preseason mode but I would certainly mark him down as one to watch in the future
Only 19 but class when ive seen him, Klopp sounds like he wants him
I have no idea how much such a prospect commands but he must be on a number of radar screens.
