‘Please god no’, ‘Wouldn’t have him near us’ – These Leeds fans alarmed at latest transfer news
It’s been reported that Joe Hart would be willing to take a big drop in his £70k-a-week wages to seal a move to Leeds United – and while fans are split, the majority don’t want to see it happen.
The former England keeper has had a terrible time since being dropped by Pep Guardiola and subsequently shipped out of Man City.
That took the shape of two failed loans to Torino and West Ham before he was sold to Burnley for £3.5m in the summer of 2018.
Hart has only made 24 appearances for the Premier League side since then and at 33-years-old he is out of contract and available on a free this summer.
Hart would come with a huge amount of experience – more so than current number one Kiko Casilla, who is also 33.
However, we’re not convinced he’d represent much of an upgrade unless Marcelo Bielsa can find something Guardiola couldn’t.
Guardiola didn’t think he was good enough with his feet and that’s something Bielsa wants from his keepers, with young Illan Meslier excelling in that area.
However, that hasn’t deterred some Leeds fans, or indeed MOT Leeds News columnist Paul Robinson, from wanting to see him at Elland Road.

However, the majority of fans think the other way and their views were given much much forcibly. We’re with them and we think Meslier is the future for Leeds.
Here are the best of the nays…
