Tottenham complete signing of free agent Joe Hart

The former England goalkeeper has been handed a two-year deal by the north Londoners.

FORMER ENGLAND GOALKEEPER Joe Hart has joined Tottenham on a two-year contract.

The 33-year-old was a free agent after leaving Burnley at the end of the 2019/20 season. Hart will provide competition alongside Paulo Gazzaniga for regular number one Hugo Lloris.

During 12 years at Manchester City, Hart won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup.

Hart fell out of favour at the Etihad Stadium after Pep Guardiola’s arrival in 2016 and had loan spells at Torino and West Ham.

He joined Burnley in 2018 and made 24 appearances but was behind Nick Pope last term.

Hart, who started his career at Shrewsbury, has 75 caps for England but has not played for his country for almost three years.

    Mcgeady has been utter dross. The fans want him gone. Gibson is a fan favorite but he makes darren anderton look like mr reliability. Mccarthy has digressed incredibly. At one point himself and besic was looking like a quality CM for everton for years to come but his form has disappeared. Shame but the fans have lost faith and want him gone. And lets not ignore that Seamus Coleman has spent two years being bang average and is on thin ice. Everton have moved up this summer with big signings and a big future on the horizon, it may just be that these players, Coleman aside, are just not good enough. U could see all 3 at Celtic tho.

    At least the Irish toffees have some sympathy for McGeady, the fans over there have zero time for him. Gibson has the game, it’s whether he’ll work to it.
    McCarthy just hasn’t lived up to it. Shame. I think he should take a chance in Italy if it became available to him. He’d be outstanding.
    Coleman’s Mustard.

    I like the idea of our players going abroad for top division football but I do not know if we have a great track record of players succeeding abroad.

    For me as an Everton fan the only one I would be glad to see go is McGeady, just isn’t up to PL standard. Gibson is actually a decent player, great passer of the ball just been very unlucky with injuries. McCarthy had a woeful season last year but that was the same with almost every Everton player so for me he deserves another chance but I can’t see him dislodging Barry and Gueye so he may have to bide his time on the bench and wait for his chance. Coleman is quality, he was restricted going forward like he used to do by Martinez tactics but from how Koeman is setting them up up he is going to be a wing back, bombing forward at every opportunity. I’ve no worries about Coleman, class act

    McGeady hasn’t worked hard enough,simple as.Always felt he deserved a shot to show what he could do and when he did in the league cup last year he made a balls of it.Having said that he’s seriously talented and has the skill set of no other current Irish player(bar possibly Brady and Judge) but obviously isn’t putting the work in behind the scenes.Gibsons been horrendously unlucky with injuries when he gets on the pitch he looks extremely comfortable but again he must be putting in the hard yards in training.As for McCarthy I hope to God it works out for him.

    It would be a disaster for McCarthy, Gibson and McGeady to join Celtic, we desperately need our top players playing in the Premier League (even if it is for Bournemouth or Crystal Palace) or another top league, Celtic are a fine team but they do not play top competition every week, yes they will likely play 6 games against in the Champions League but that cannot make up for the fact those will be the only significant games they will play (perhaps with the exception of Rangers) all year.

    Conor go back to watching Sky Sports news because you clearly havent a clue about football. How did the England team get on in the Euro’s? Going by your reckoning they should have won the thing. The EPL is full of players out for a wage packet, thats it.. Fraser Forrester, virgil van dyke and Victor Wanyama all done well playing for Celtic in recent years..

    Except that only 31% of players in the premier league are from England… and the rest of those foreign guys… Ibrahimovic, Silva, Aguero, Paul Pogba, Ozil, Carzola, De Bruyne, Hazard… their not any good are they? And when’s the last time a Scottish team played in the European Cup/Champions League?1967? And how many times have English teams have won the European Cup/Champions League since? 12?! But i’m sure these facts don’t mean anything because you “Feel” Celtic and the SPL are better.

    That’s unfair to write off Irish players this early in the premiership and championship season just based on form Shane Duffy scored an og last week and his careers over yet he scored the winner for blackburn last night.They had a fantastic euros and over achieved everybodys expectations.
