Hart 'really enjoying' Blues life
The 22-year-old is proving an outstanding success during his season-long loan from Manchester City, leading to speculation he may stay on with Blues after the summer.[LNB]Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has already revealed any hopes the Blues had of making the switch permanent have been dashed as City see Hart as a big part of their long-term plans.[LNB]But McLeish has not ruled out trying to take Hart again on loan, although the keeper himself refuses to be drawn on such off-the-field matters, preferring to concentrate on helping Blues extend their 11 game Premier League run.[LNB]Hart told the Sunday Mercury: "I'm really enjoying it at Birmingham. They are great people, a good club and great fans.[LNB]"You can't go on a run like we've done with a bad egg in the team, we've got all good, solid lads.[LNB]"Regarding my future, there is nothing I'd rule in or rule out. It's not anything I'm considering right now simply because I'm just enjoying what I'm doing.[LNB]"There's no hassle. There's no pressure and I'm on loan until the end of the season. That will never change, regardless of what anyone says.[LNB]"So I'm going to be here until the end of the season and I'm really enjoying the prospect of turning out and hopefully getting more performances in like we did at Stoke."[LNB]City have new boss Roberto Mancini at the helm but Hart does not think the Italian will be bringing his own man into the number one spot at Eastlands to replace Shay Given.[LNB]He added: "Mancini's got the money but he's also got Shay Given.[LNB]"I don't know how much money would replace him.[LNB]"I speak to Shay regularly. He's a great guy and a great goalkeeper."[LNB]While Hart has pulled of a number of eye-catching saves in the games against Chelsea and Stoke, he refuses to be singled out for praise, instead heaping the plaudits on the defence in front of him.[LNB]He added: "I suppose it makes me stand out more, but I've said in previous interviews, in the games against Chelsea and Stoke I had to make saves, but in games before that, casting my mind back, I've not really had that much to do.[LNB]"The lads in front of me have been awesome - they still are. They were excellent at Stoke to keep defending against that bombardment and they've given them two chances in the whole game - that says a lot for our defence. I can only repay them by making saves.[LNB]"We are growing in confidence and as a team we are a solid unit and we've just got to keep doing that."[LNB]Next up is the visit of Manchester United to St Andrew's on Saturday, where Hart may get singled out by the visiting fans given his City links, although the young keeper is undaunted.[LNB]He added: "It's another bit of fun. It's a great prospect. It's good to be going into games how we are - the confidence, the belief and the desire the boys have got - and we can just go and enjoy games like that.[LNB]"Hopefully we can give the fans something to cheer about against Manchester United."[LNB][LNB] Barclays Prem W/out Top 4 2009/10 Win Outright: Birmingham 50/1
