Joe Hart

[Lemonade Money]

I think De Gea isn't putting the work in because he doesn't want to be there anymore

...but still wants the money

Hart.. 'Old Smoke Hands' himself.

Most keepers have a dip in form at some point in their careers, the good ones come out the other side as good, or better, than they were before.

Goalkeeping is as much mental as it is physical. For every Gomes, Hart, or Grobbelaar, there's a Friedel or a Martyn – without the world-class saves, but reliable. Of course, some have both. I was worried that Lloris was starting to lose it – he never seemed the strongest mentally – but perhaps the break has given him the chance to reset and recharge.

I know outfield can be the same – think Mabbutt and Milner. It just seems especially pronounced for keepers. They're a breed apart.

Gomes...fudge me what a keeper at his best. He was Lev Yashin with mistakes...or Bobby Mimms with world class saves. Such a talent, it was a shame that he had so many ridiculous mistakes.

Is anyone else completely puzzled by the direction Joe Hart's career has taken over the past few years?

Admittedly, I dont watch out for Joe Hart's performances, but I remember being immensely impressed by him at Birmingham, and numerous times for Emirates Marketing Project too.

Guardiola dropping him was understandable if it were for stylistic reasons - but why did literally no elite team want him? I dont recall him having any drastic turn in form during that period.

And has he really been that bad at Burnley too?

He seems to be a likeable guy without many off-field issues either. I know hes a millionaire prem footballer, but this must be taking a huge mental toll on him too - i hope for his sake that he can find a way to enjoy the last part of his career.

Think he will be alright
