5 transferred players who are likely to struggle at their new club

<p>
On the wane?

#1 Joe Hart – West Ham United

Manchester City v Aston Villa - Premier League
Joe Hart

He is England’s current number one but the Hammers took a risk in adding Joe Hart.

The Manchester City stopper had a nightmare end to his career with them but it only got worse in Italy. Clanger after clanger with Torino convinced them not to pursue another deal for the 30-year-old and his place with the national side is seriously under threat.

West Ham already have two relatively solid goalkeepers in Adrian and Darren Randolph, with Hart a minor upgrade on either of them. A lot of their transfers this summer seem to be on name recognition and that all smells like a recipe for disaster.

After numerous hits, falling out of favour with so many others before, Hart’s career is taking that classic England trajectory. Impress for a while, make too many mistakes, get blasted for them while slowly sliding down the totem pole for another young prospect to face the firing squad.
