Actually forgot he was at the mancs.
He went back to he US for a while in between didn't he?
No he went straight there, initially on loan and then a permanent deal.
While I agree with the frustrations of never having brought through a young keeper, we're not alone in that. The Mancs have been dominant for twenty years and have brought many young players through, but never a goalie. Arsenal haven't produced a keeper in a long time, nor have Chelsea. City can take a lot of credit for spotting Hart in the lower leagues, in the same way we spotted Clem. I don't know if the big clubs in England are too scared to risk blooding a good young keeper and would rather buy one. Even now, many fans would prefer to spend £20m on Jack Butland rather than give Danny Ward a run in the team, even though they're the same age.
