Maybe Joe Hart's one of those crazy people that have made mistakes in the past and questioned their own poor attitude, then decided to take a second chance at life and dig in and prove the doubters wrong.
I know, it sounds too far fetched, as if that's ever happened to anyone lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe he’s not.
Maybe he’s just a big long necked ponce that’s just as likely to commit a massive blunder as he is to pull off a wonder save.😂
In all seriousness I have nothing against Hart. He is what he is and he will probably do a turn for you.
I just think it’s a surprising signing for Celtic given how little football he has played and how good a fit he is for the sweeper keeper role Ange seems to be keen on employing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's all just speculation really.
I don't know how a scouting/buying/transfer system works, is there a website for players that want a move? Or is it just phoning around asking?
Could Celtic have bought a better, younger keeper for less? Maybe. But Hart just smells like a Board 'big name' to keep the punters happy type deal. The board think well known names will quieten the hysteria a bit.
Hart has been hopeless for a few seasons now and the fact no other clubs are interested should be a worry.
I'm not certain he's better than what is already at the club
34 isn't young in GK terms. It's usually when they hit their prime. But recent years, more GKs are playing in their early to mid 20s and hitting their prime earlier.

Rumours suggesting Buta is also in Glasgow for a medical today…
If we add both him and Hart before tomorrow nights deadline I’ll rest a little easier. Still need a LB, LW, CB and striker.
Hart is better than what we have, so therefore we have strengthened a vital position. I’m happy with that. Now there’s a few more needed.
Pretty desperate signing IMO, and kinda sums up everything that’s wrong with our approach to recruitment. Of course he ticks the “better than Barkas & Bain” box, but 90% of keepers on the planet would do that … and most of them will have actually played some regular football in recent years. As has been said, just smacks of the “board” (who is actually driving signing activity anyway?) latching onto a big name … ignoring all evidence suggesting he’s half the player he was, and also can’t play as a sweeper/keeper (which is fundamental to Ange’s system). Big wages, no resale value … when did that become the model? Just zero joined up thinking here. Happy to be proved wrong, but won’t be holding my breath.
In other news, see we’re linked with a 22 year old LB from Shamrock Rovers. Another classic lazy, cheap, Oirishy project signing then. Again, happy to be proved wrong, but I seriously doubt he’s the answer to our LB problem.

We ask for a better keeper and it looks like we get one. Result? Moan and whine
We lambast the board (rightly) for not getting signings done. We get some quick signings with more on the horizon.
Result? Moan and whine.
It’s fwcking obvious beyond even the dullest that we are in a huge transition which is long overdue so I think I’ll stick in the camp of “let’s give these guys a chance and wait and see”.

We’ve enjoyed the banter years for 9 season now ffs. Some of our lot clearly can’t take it back and can’t accept we are distant second fiddles now. It’ll take time to change that.

seasons started and we are out the champions league, it's been far from quick mate
I'm hoping hart will give some experience to the back, he's probably not the keeper he once was but if he's an improvement on these dumplings i'm all for it.
hope he can play sweeper keeper or we are setting him up for a fall though.
