I tell them not to bump their heads on the posts or the crossbar.

City have been linked with other goalkeepers, with Barcelona’s number two Claudio Bravo being the latest, but Guardiola was unable to discuss any such reports. City’s own media officers were not present after the flight taking them to Romania was delayed due to a fault with the air conditioning.
The Spaniard said: “I enjoy my job preparing the games, seeing what is going to happen and anticipating what the players are going to find during the game, and trying to find solutions”.
Guardiola said: “Since I have been Manchester City manager and we have been together, Joe has been flawless”.
Hart has attracted the attention of Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund, as well as Everton should he prefer to stay in the Premier League but is under pressure to find a new club to further his worldwide ambitions.
Joe Hart will be an asset to whichever club he joins should he leave the Etihad this summer, according to former Manchester City goalkeeper Tony Coton. The club I left and the one I watch now are two totally different organisations. “He is a full worldwide, somebody who, probably before City took the money, could have gone on to bigger and better things himself but stayed and wanted to be at City”.
“I know there has been speculation about leaving and stuff like that but at the moment he is a Manchester City player, so I am very happy to see him”.
“Sometimes it does you good, if you keep winning every week and then you have to learn how to get beaten every week”. His attitude isn’t awful.
“I think I’ve given more than enough answers”. Why treat him like that?’
And the one-time England global – who made 130 appearances for City between 2002 and 2007 – has suggested they could miss out on a Champions League spot this season following their summer transfer window struggles. “I haven’t seen it”.

Willy Caballero didn’t play well in City’s opening match against Sunderland, but rather than give Hart a second chance, this deal all but assures the Englishman will be sold by the club.
