In all seriousness, how weird is Hart's transfer to Torino? I assume City are still going to pay his wages.. Also, I can't even begin to understand City fans. I know it's Hart and I know he sucks in many ways. But he was an icon for City for years. And now this new coach steps in and first things he does is get rid of him like he's nobody? How do you accept that as a fan?
I think Inter is by far the worst club when it comes to developing young players. They managed to destroy pretty much every single talent they had over the past 10-15 years.

It's weird as hell. When I was reading Italian sites that pop up on Facebook I had to click 2-3 times to check if I read it correctly. I was totally WTF for a couple of minutes. You know what's even worse? He might be meh for top clubs but he's not even a bad GK.
As for the second part I disagree. It's modern football. People are getting to max out their squad. If you're pulling a team down then you're getting out. Icon? I wouldn't say he earned that title. But after seeing how a big player like Raul left Madrid (and even how Del Piero left Turin) I can safely say how there's no such thing as an icon at this point. There are two things 1) providing value to the team 2) being a huge name to boost marketing (Ronaldo, Messi and others). If you don't fill such category you're pretty much on your way out.
Both of them left at what you would call an acceptable close to mid 30 age but hart is bizarre move when you consider his at his peak age of 29. Of course its a just a loan, but I cant think of many examples where something like this occurred.
