Why the end is nigh for Hart and Toure at Manchester City

Out of favour. Out of form. 

Did you know Hart's first name is really Charles?

Being dropped for Manchester City's opening game of the season against Sunderland was not the start of the two's demise at City but instead the final straw. Hart's pathetic attempts for England at the Euros has rightfully been reflected at his club, thank the heavens Guardiola put results ahead of 'protecting his player'. At least Hart can say he tried, unlike Toure! The Ivorian spent the whole of last season lumbering around the Manchester midfield as if he had had too much to drink! Gone is the hungry powerhouse in the centre of the pitch instead a shadow of the midfield monster is in his place, lost and jaded.

In spite of my endless criticism of Hart, Caballero is far from the ideal replacement. The Argentinian keeper is just as dependent as Sterling's crossing accuracy! However Pep is reportedly working his magic and engineering a move for Ter Stegen of Barcelona, a keeper who is neither over hyped nor over confident which cannot be said about Hart. As for Yaya, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Fernando and Delph all eagerly wait in the queue for a starting spot, the former Barcelona man is fifth in the pecking order, an experience he will become accustomed to if he stays at City.

Joe Hart has been handed a life-line however. A £40 million life-line. Seriously. The Englishman has been linked to Koeman's new master plan at Everton in a truly bizarre move, which if it goes ahead, would make Hart the most expensive goalkeeper ever. I'll leave it at that.

Yaya marked just 6 goals last season

Yaya has been linked to Inter countless times however even the Italian's could not cope with his ridiculous wage (and birthday cake) demands! The only place I see fit for the 33 year old other than a Manchester City bench is China. China - where unwanted footballers wanting even more cash head off to. Jiangsu Suning are thought to be interested in the man who once scored 24 goals in a season just 3 seasons ago.


Oh how the mighty have fallen.
