But I thought Bilic not rating him was the reason we got Hart in the first place?

Moyes was also happy to drop Hart early on which makes me think there is more to it.

My view is that they are both so so keepers and neither gives you the more modern "sweeper" option.

Thought hart was a vanity signing by Sullivan more so than anyone else.

Wouldn't surprise me if hart offered to have reduced wages in order to play games to go to World Cup. It's the only thing that makes any sense about him playing over Adrian in last two games.

He's always acted professionally from what I've read.

I think it's more about Moyes' Scottish blood wanting Hart to get the England shirt so we'll have less of a chance at the World cup :D

Hart was never actually dropped, he was ineligible to play against his parent club, Man City, so Adrian had to play. Adrian had a very good game and Moyes stuck with him. The fact that Hart wasn't exactly covering himself in glory prior to that probably made the decision easier but Adrian got to keep the shirt and I don't think he did anything to warrant losing it again, it seems we're the only club in the Premier League that f**ks with the one position that you absolutely need stability in.

Adrian is the best goalkeeper at the club.

There are issues on the pitch. He is an average keeper.

He will have better options than us.

De Gea wants a fortune to stay at Old Trafford , I can see a bit of a keeper merrygoround this summer.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lloris go to OT and Butland go to Spurs.

You’re probably right TPP

We paid a world record fee for a goalkeeper once, this lot haven’t spent a transfer fee at all on a goalkeeper since joining

Sully is willing to pay £100 per week for the next five years in old £1 coins.

If we stay up we need a new keeper for sure. Sullivan will try and do it on the cheap. Surely Burnley won't be able to keep both theirs, either of which is a step up on ours.

I like Fraser Forster of Southampton , only 30 still - he'd be an excellent stand in or first choice keeper alongside Adrian .

Good keeper but I think the reason he's been dropped is that he's susceptible to the physical stuff.

I was wondering something similar about Fabianski, at Swansea, but then stopped and thought that they'd surely not sell to us, if they stayed up.

We'd probably go for Ben Foster, instead.

Best keeper we have had in a long time, shame some fans and the club can't see it. He will move to a higher club than us, shame as he wants to be West Ham.

Will he? Last summer the only team who came in for him appeared to be Palace.

It's been said, but I think it's quite difficult to tell how good or bad Adrian and Hart have been overall because the lack of DM and dodgy defence would undermine most keepers. Lack of communication alone can cause mayhem.

I suspect both are 'good enough' for a mid table side with a decent defence and some proper defensive capability in CM.
