The life cycle of a goalkeeper is similar to a manager in that when he gets a new job, usually it means the end of someone else's. Such is the case for Joe Hart it would seem, who is forced to look elsewhere as Pep Guardiola has decided to draft in Claudio Bravo rather than stick with the guy who's been at Eastlands longer than the oil money.

At the end of the day, Hart - despite having been a professional footballer for 13 years - apparently can't pass the ball more than 10 yards, so I suppose that's fair enough.

Anyway, Claudio Bravo's time at Barcelona is slowly coming to an end, and he should be saluted for a fine two years there which has gone slightly under the radar due to the fact that he has bizarrely never played a Champions League game for the club.

It hasn't stopped him from being the club's first-choice keeper however, and winning consecutive league titles along the way. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the Premier League where he will no doubt be kept busier - after all, Victor Valdes found life slightly more taxing after he bid farewell to the Nou Camp.
