In his interview with Spoony, Fergie has said he could have signed Joe Hart for £100k. Shame we missed out on a top player for such a minimal transfer fee.
He is a World Class keeper definitely, its between him & Manuel Neur in my opinion.
But things would of been different if Fergie did snap him up, considering we had Edwin & Kuzc, so he would dropped down to 3rd in pecking order & game time would have been very limited for him, maybe the move to City was the right choice for him & his career.
Hart is a very good keeper, but is he overrated? He is a very good shot stopper, but when dealing with crosses his decision making and execution is poor. He does escape criticism from media, but that will change if a mistake leads to a goal when playing for England.
I don't think he's as good as a lot of people make out but he's still a world class keeper. He's playing behind the most solid centre back, centre mid unit in the league and I think he gets given a lot of credit which should go to them. He's still the best keeper in the league though, he's consistently won City points with saves towards the end of games.

Overrated for me, often pushes shots back into trouble too. Makes top draw saves but that's about it. Definitely the best English keeper for years though. Think DDG will surpass him in a few years as league's best keeper.
