The odds on us signing Joe Hart have come tumbling down.

Whilst it's showing our intent by signing Terry and potentially Hart. They are both short term fixes, what's the long term plan if we get promoted?

Let's get promoted first before we worry about that, eh.

Apparently the Hart transfer has been held up because our Whatsapp Executive is on leave.

Well not really no. Appreciated it's very early in the transfer window, however its a valid point

Sounds like bookmakers stirring up some interest. Can't see Hart being an achievable target. Btw doesn't he look like Russ Abbot.

Sign Joe Hart on a permanent deal. Buy a new centre half. Buy better players in general I'd imagine.

Easy peasy.

Should we get promoted we will have access to a whole plethora of players that are currently unavailable.

We need to get there, first. If we could sign the best keeper in the division, that would be a pretty decent start.

How is Hart, on the deal being described, a short term fix?

I don't want us to sign Hart on the basis that the back of his head is too flat. He looks liked he doesn't even have a head, just one long neck. He should advertise for neck and shoulders shampoo the headless bastard.

That aside it's highly unlikely. Between signing JT and Hart, it wouldn't leave us much budget left for new players in other positions. I'd be happy with Johnstone but we still need more creativity, more cover in CM and left back, and possibly another fwd depending on who goes. Hart, at his age will want even more money than Terry.

Because unless I've heard differently, a one year loan is the offer?
