Joe’s Hart is with Birmingham if they reach FA Cup final
From todays Sports Mail: www.dailymail.co.uk
Joe Hart could miss out on an FA Cup final appearance but is in no doubt where his allegiance lies if Birmingham meet Manchester City in the Wembley showpiece.
The goalkeeper, who is on a season-long loan at Birmingham from Eastlands, could miss the final after the sides were kept apart in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final draw.
And he accepts it will be Maik Taylor and not himself who will be between the posts should the Blues reach the final and meet his parent club.
The 22-year-old said: ‘All the lads have given banter about it but my personal feeling is I knew the script at the start of the season.
‘It was all agreed at the start of the season. Which team would I go down to the final with? Birmingham City, of course. That’s the team I am with this year so I’d be 100% behind them.’
Birmingham travel to Portsmouth in the last eight while Manchester City will visit Chelsea if they win their replay against Stoke.
Birmingham manager Alex McLeish revealed he has been in talks with City about buying Hart permanently but if was unsuccessful would take him on loan for another season.
He added: ‘If I can’t get Hart permanently, would I settle for another loan season? Yes
