It looks like we'll have a keeper soon. Not before time as the whole Hart thing is becoming a bit of a media circus. Welcome Claudio. Thanks Joe.

Just been looking at a few clips.

Reminds me of a Shay Givern style keeper.

"Short" at 6ft, he relies on his agility to make up for his reach: Translates to flying saves!

I guess we're gonna have a keeper that still doesn't like to deal with crosses...

Doesn't look like he likes to catch/ keep hold of the ball either.

But it's only a youtubey thing so don't take the above too seriously.

Done deal I guess and this is the PR to soften the announcement which will come fairly soon.

It was the end of training, they were all leaving the pitch.

[KunDB]

More of the usual anti City crap from the press. 

[bry the guy]

Reports say he is playing tonight.

[Gareth]

Reports say he is playing tonight.

Does that mean he will be cup-tied? (if at another CL club)

[Lekos]

Don't think so, because this is champs league qualification - not champs league proper.

[Kilkenny Blue]

Can't we just get Joe Corrigan back?

[Hesperus]

Welcome Bravo! Let's see if you're as good as Pep thinks! I'm expecting amazing passing ability and hopefully at least as good as Hart between the posts.

[gavin]

Aye, a bit of pressure on him now. I'm sure we'll all get behind him though. The 'situation' isn't his fault.

quite a bit of money for a 33 year old keeper
