Joe Hart joins West Ham from Manchester City.

Joe Hart has joined West Ham on loan from Man City in £4.5m deal.

The England goalkeeper was on loan at Torino in Serie A last season after being frozen from Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Speaking about his new destination, the 30 year-old goalkeeper told West Ham TV, “It’s important for me to play football and to get the opportunity to come here and play is absolutely awesome. To be playing in the Premier League for a big club like West Ham, I’m really looking forward to the season. I’ve always loved the club. I think you’ll struggle to find anyone, apart from the direct opposing fans around London, who doesn’t love the club. It’s got something about it, it’s got a lot history and I’ve always loved playing against West Ham.”
He is expected to join West Ham’s squad on their pre-season tour of Austria. Joe Hart has kept 119 clean sheets in the PL, only 3 English goalkeepers have kept more; D.James (169), D.Seaman (140) & N.Martyn (137)

Guardiola lacks common decency in his treatment of Joe Hart -Joey Barton:

Rangers midfielder, Joey Barton is far from impressed with
Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola over his treatment of Manchester City
goalkeeper Joe Hart. Hart wasn’t included in the starting line-up for Pep’s
first matches in charge amidst claims he will soon be replaced with Barcelona
goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo.
The former City
player considers Pep’s actions towards the player who has spent 10 years at the
club disgusting.
He told talkSPORT.
“It
is not the club I left. The club I left and watch now are two totally different
organisations. The club I
played for wouldn’t have treated a player that had been a servant for as long
as Joe has in the manner that it has. It is common human decency, regardless of how good a
coach you are. Why treat him like that?
He continued, “He is a full international, somebody
who, probably before City took the money, could have gone on to bigger and
better things himself but stayed and wanted to be at City. I don’t see what he has done wrong to be
treated the way he has. His attitude isn’t terrible. I don’t like this. I’ve watched Caballero and are you
telling me Caballero is better with his feet than Joe Hart? I haven’t seen it. Why not let him fight for his place and
then if he is not good enough say: ‘I have given him an opportunity’. That’s
what every manager should do, give everyone an opportunity.”

Messi, Iniesta, others hail phenomenal Joe Hart

Manchester City goalkeeper’s magnificent performance against Barcelona last night is one that would never be forgotten in a hurry. Infact, it is still a trending topic in sports circles.

Unarguably the man of the match, but for his decisive saves, Barcelona would have increased the scoreline and humiliated the English Champions. His 10 decisive saves are the most for any goalkeeper in a Champions League match this season. Unfortunately his heroics couldn’t see his team through as they crashed out of the Champions League last night.

Barcelona stars and coach, Messi, Iniesta took to the club’s website to hail his outstanding performance.

“He was phenomenal, he stopped everything. We have to congratulate him on a great game because he’s a fantastic goalkeeper.” Messi said.

Andres Iniesta added: “Hart was key to keeping them in it and was great in one-on-one situations. Outstanding.”

“The score could have been a rout. Hart was incredible but we weren’t really on towards the end. We had a lot of chances, which is not normal in this type of game. We deserved to win by a bigger goal difference.” Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique affirmed.
Former English player and sports broadcaster, GaryLineker opined that, “But for a truly astonishing display of goalkeeping from Joe Hart, our Premier League champions would be going home humiliated.”
