The arrival of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City prompted the Spaniard to immediately deem Joe Hart surplus to requirements eventually shipping him off loan to Italy with Torino. Hart has since spoken about the move as well as his departure from City.
Pep was after a sweeper-keeper thus drafting in Barcelona's Claudio Bravo. The English stopper didn't posses those traits which prompted his role on the bench before heading off to the Serie A.
Hart's committed a few mishaps between the sticks but is using this time to impress in hope he can land a permanent deal while suggesting that his career at City appears to be over, conceding his future lies elsewhere.

The way I look at it, I want to do as well as I can for Torino and if somebody comes in for me I don't think Manchester City are going to stand in my way. I said I wanted to work for him and see what happens but I got the impression that it wasn't really going anywhere."

"I'm up for a fight but you've got to be clever and pick your battle. It was the opinion of a guy who has got a lot of power at the club and I wasn't on the right side of it."
