Might be controversial but I think the overall package for him is greater than the sum of his parts.
He is a leader, a motivator
His distribution is on another level to anyone in world football and his calmness, awareness, skill, vision and confidence has played and continues to play a major part in how we play football and win matches.
But for me his save percentage could be better, as a shot stopper he concedes goals that other goalies would save.
But as a package of his overall game and what he brings I wouldn't change him. Will be interesting to see if Peps replacement, whomever and whenever that will be, wants to keep the philosophy and style of play we currently have and enjoy or whether we go in a different direction. As maybe then his greatest attributes wont be as useful. Remember when Pep came in and we wondered who would be sold, hardly anyone saw Hart being first out of the door.
But well done Big Ed. Great achievement and hopefully your sideboard will have another Golden Glove on it in May
