Blues wait to seal Hart deal
Birmingham City chairman David Gold says it will be a 'disappointment' if the club do not tie up a loan deal for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Premier League new boys Birmingham are expected to finalise the season-long signing of Hart following the end of England's European Under 21 Championship campaign.
Man City boss Mark Hughes is willing to loan Hart out next season to allow the 22-year-old to gain further experience at first-team level.
Hart started last term as the club's first choice, but he was dropped to the bench following the January arrival of Shay Given from Newcastle United.
He now appears to be on his way to St Andrews and Gold expressed his eagerness to conclude a loan deal for the former Shrewsbury Town youngster.
"It will be a disappointment if we do not tie up a deal quickly," said Gold in the News of the World.
Hart is currently with the Under 21 squad in Sweden and admits he must be playing regularly next season if he is to break into the senior squad for the 2010 World Cup finals.
"The coach has said you need to be playing," commented Hart.
"That is what you want to be doing anyway, regardless of whether it gets you in the England side."
