It's best all round now that he goes sooner rather than later.
Yes, but this is England”s number one.
Well, was, Butland will take the place. Like it or not, he had a decent season last year and saved our arse in many situations, maybe one of the few that was constant last season. So, looking at that, imho, he should have a certain market value and demand.
Instead, he is going to Torino, a team that will finish 9 or 10. Saw them with Milan in the first fixture of the season and they were terrible.
I cannot understand why he is going on a loan there, when I can name a few teams that need a proper gk and have the money. If he is going just as a loan and without any buy clause, his market value will go to shit. His clean sheet record will also go to hell.
Weird as fuck for me and somewhat frustrating.
Agreed. odd one.
if the online rumors are believed we're paying £90k out of his £140k wages. so that means that no one better than Torino was interested in paying only £50k/week for England's (former) number 1 keeper. bizarre.
f rumours are to be believed Dortmund, Sevilla and Napoli were interested but yet we choose not to believe them rumours, funny that.
There's no guarantee that City would've let him go to any of those clubs or elsewhere for the same deal so there's nothing really but hearsay to back up the conclusion you've drawn.
I do find it interesting though that it's two of Mancini's mates that have signed him, the consensus was that Mancini wanted rid of Hart yet here we are, bizarre.
