Everton had been backed into favouritism at one stage yesterday to be Hart’s club at the end of the summer transfer window, but now a switch to Seville is seen by bookmakers as the most likely outcome. It is going to be tough, the competition is there.

Pep Guardiola, who has already made some controversial decisions at Manchester City, including dropping the likes of Yaya Toure, among others, has now been slammed for the “disgusting” treatment of one of his players. “That is the team spirit we need to win trophies this season, so the group is the most important thing”. Announced earlier today, Hart would be on the bench again for the Champions League match today.
After missing two penalties, Argentine striker, Sergio Aguero scored a hat trick while Spanish Duo, David Silva and Nolito scored once in a dominant performance. Shots from Aleksandar Kolarov and Nolito which hit the woodwork were among other numerous chances City created.
“Pep Guardiola has been around the block and I’m sure he would have understood the significance of leaving Hart out of his team”, Neville said on Monday Night Football. We played really well with the ball, we could have scored three or four more goals. We created a lot of chances, we were solid.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Super Cup second leg against Sevilla, Mascherano said the Barcelona players were in the dark over the situation.
However, the report then suggests that the 29-year-old “knows he has no future at the club and has not “built up any kind of relationship with Guardiola”.
“He will have known he was making a big call”.

Hart, 29, has been at the Etihad Stadium for ten years now having signed from Shrewsbury Town back in the summer of 2006, and he’s racked up nearly 350 appearances for the club having become City’s undoubted first-choice goalkeeper since the start of the 2010/11 campaign.
