Galatasaray have signed Liverpool goalkeeper Charles Itandje for £2m, scuppering Scott Carson's chance of a quick exit from Anfield. (Daily Mail)

Will we seek out a new keeper or will Carson be sat on the bench and making occaisional appearances? I can't see anyone paying £10m for him so unless the fee drops then he's surely going nowhere - or out on loan again.

Similar to the Crouch situation isn't it. He's a good young player and when you look at the money Sunderland paid out for Craig Gordon last summer he has to be worth a tidy sum. But everyone knows the player wants out, that we want the player out and that we need the money so he'll likely go for less than he's worth. My guess is someone will come in for him soon, it's still pretty early in the transfer season and I'd expect us to get 5-6 million for the lad which is still pretty good business considering he cost a million.

I would personally be surprised if anybody was prepared to pay more than 3.5 million for him. I certainly wouldn't myself.

I know some people on here agree with Martin O'Neil's view that Carson is overvalued, however with Barry being quoted at £20m because of the £18m fee we paid for Maschereno, then Carson is worth £10m based on Craig Gordon's fee to Sunderland.

I doubt Villa will go for Carson now as I have read they are after Paul Robinson and can pick him up at £5m. Thats an excellent price for a very good keeper in my opinion.

Nah I just haven't got that much to say about Carson Nan'. I just think he's a fairly average goalkeeper, who we clearly are looking to offload. The fella Gordon looks a much better keeper to me if I'm honest, and Carson's true value would be around half what they paid for him. Then I suppose you have to take into account the fact that he is clearly not wanted by us which diminishes his value further. One of these days we might get the hang of this transfer lark. If you advertise to the world that you don't really want a player, he instantly becomes less valuable.

Agreed. Never rated Carson at all. Always thought he was a very average goalkeeper.

Upper championship/lower premiership class at best. Would keep him as a backup but nothing more.

As for Paul Robinson being a good keeper... :laugh:

I have to agree with Mick , against Croatia we saw his flaws against a decent side but with that said he has had a decent season with villa , I'd be happy if we got 6 million for him and good news that Intadje is gone , now we need to start looking for a good backup keeper . I've heard that we're interested in Anti Niemi
