Once the request was handed out, Guardiola instantly asked the City board to make the deal happen, and it is now done. As far back as April, pundits including Thierry Henry had predicted that Hart had no place in Guardiola’s Man City starting XI. “Guardiola has to learn all about the players he has available”, Seluk explained.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has not travelled to Romania for Tuesday’s Champions League qualifier first leg against Steaua Bucharest.
“Of course it is also convincing the players how important it is to play in the Champions League, how lovely it is to play during the season in Europe”. Tap the button below on your phone to add!
Hart is now believed to be considering his future at the Etihad Stadium amid suggestions that he isn’t good enough with the ball at his feet to play in Guardiola’s system – and one Premier League club appear to be keen on signing him.
Gary Neville has urged Joe Hart to stay at Manchester City and expand his footballing education under Pep Guardiola.
On his team selected, Guardiola added: “Yaya trained really, really good, Samir is training awesome, so I’m really impressed by his quality”.
The 40-year-old said: “We saw City play Sunderland and have all the information to play football well and achieve a positive result”.
“We move on – it is only the first game of the season”. Towards the end I thought we’d got the point, maybe we deserved it, but they got a late goal.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Guardiola would not comment on reports linking City with Barcelona’s second-choice keeper Claudio Bravo, but praised the attitude of Hart.
“When a chance came, I knew I had to score and after that you want to try and see the game out”.

City began life under Pep Guardiola with a stuttering but promising 2-1 win against David Moyes’s Sunderland. It depends on our game. If Everton are to buy Hart for the rumored £40m, I think that they would be massively overspending, especially because Hart is close to 30 years-old. Every coach and every manager has his own ideas.
