32 years old is not very old for a footballer. And even less so for a goalkeeper. Therefore, it is eyecatching that Hart has gone from being the number one keeper at Man City in 2016 to going out on loan twice and then finally being sold.
With the arrival of Pep Guardiola he stopped being number one. The coach preferred other qualities in a goalkeeper and Joe Hart appreciated Guardiola's mhonesty. That said, he was in complete disagreement with Guardiola.
He went out on loan to Torino and later on, to West Ham. In London he started to play, but at the end of 2017, he was relegated to the bench. This summer, fed up of being sent out on loan, he look to sign permanently somewhere, even if it were at a less historic club than previous ones.
However, despite being a step back in his career, he is not achieving this objective either. That shows that just like last season, he lost the number one spot around Christmas and then become the number two. Another drop down for the goalkeeper.
Since his last game in 2018, Hart has not been off the bench. On 30th December, precisely against West Ham, his ordeal started. Until now, he has spent 17 games on the bench, 104 days seeing how his career differs a lot from that young Hart at City and playing for England not so long ago...
