Okay, I’ve got to ask why City would want him. He has been outstanding for GB thus far, but he isn’t where Hart is now.
Matt, the same could have been said a few years ago about Joe Hart. Why would Manchester City want a young, promising goalkeeper from the lower leagues when they had such a brilliant goalkeeper as Shay Given?
Cheers,
