Mancini plans Hart talks

Date published: 09 April 2010


Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini admits a dilemma regarding Joe Hart.

The Italian boss plans to hold talks with the 22–year–old goalkeeper at the end of the season, once his loan to Birmingham ends.

Hart — out of the match at Eastlands on Sunday as it is against his parent club — is enjoying an impressive campaign, which gives Mancini the problem of keeping both number one keepeer Shay Given and Hart both happy.

Mancini has told reporters the long premiership season requires two top keepers — but whether either player will see it that way is another matter.

Hart’s form at Birmingham has been so good he has been tipped for an England’s World Cup squad place.
