New Player?

[dirty_sanchez]

He looks like that Domaraud fella who used to play for Inter.

[Malarkey]

valencia's right back miguel.

 

It doesn't look one bit like Miguel. Do you think it's Momo or Raddy?

[bobhorse]

Charles Itandje???

Good shout he has been linked with Villa if we have done a deal for him then Carson will be gone

think you've nailed it boys.

Manchester United are considering making a move for Lens goalkeeper Charles Itandje, who is also being tracked by Real Betis, Lyon and Aston Villa. (Daily Mirror)

[bobhorse]

Makes sense really Carson linked with Villa and Man City a fee upto 10m for a player that would never get a game ahead of Pepe

It gives us good cover and money to spend Heinze and Cicinho two Iternational full backs would be good buisness IMHO

[Cardie]

If it is Charles Itandje do we need another keeper?

Be amazed if we got 10 million for Carson, thing 6.5-7.5 is more realistic, and still a healthy profit

He's young, with good potential and above all he's English, so in todays market that makes him worth about £9-10m.

Is this lad Lens' first choice? And also, is he any good? If we're selling Carson, then we should get a bidding war going between City and Villa - they've both got big cash to spend. If that Hearts lad is worth £9m, we should be asking silly money for a player with Premiership experience.

[Strontium]

Vedran Runje is Lens's first choice, so Itandje would be swapping a seat on the bench at Lens for a seat on the bench at LFC (and a big pot of money).

I can't see him going for more than Craig Gordon, although him going will in turn upped Carson's value, as Sunderland have now set a benchmark

Barely missed a game in 4 years

No idea if he's any good or not though. Dont rate Carson so would be delighted if we got big money and signed someone more reliable for cheaper. Hopefully he's good.

Sounds a good plan to me. I'd never heard of the bloke but he's already my friend.

Runje only signed this summer and Itandje has been No.1 up to that point.

 

Think I'm right in saying we almost signed him when GH was manager.

If we get £10m for Carson, I will eat my fucking hat

now, dont think this is a racist statement, although I realise is is a sweeping generalisation but in my opinion you cannot trust black goalkeepers, especially ones with african names or origins.

 

its based on previous evidence, not on my personal beliefs.

[coop]

Agreed regards Carson. The guy is obviously not willing to fight for his place and is wanting to get into the England team.

 

I would expect to get about £7 million for Carson which would pay for either Heinze or Chiellini (i dont believe the Cicinho links).

Perhaps he realises that he's right up against it with Reina, who,after an early wobble, had a very solid season, and is still very young for a keeper.

 

By going to Villa (or whoever) he gets a big pay-rise, an easier path to being Number One at that club, and he's then got Robinson right in his sights as England keeper.

[Cardie]

Carson the new Owen.

[Malarkey]

Carson the new Owen.

 

Yeah, he is a good striker.

[silverlining]

Carson the new Owen.

 

Not quite the same. Owen would still have been the best striker at the club and played loads of games had he stayed (and stayed fit).

 

Carson probably isn't the best keeper (on evidence so far anyway) and only one keeper gets to play 90% of the games, barring injury or a sustained run of bad form.

[Cardie]

Relax wasn't serious, that said, might as well just use Mihaylov.

[aws]

 

Maybe the black guy is the agent and we're signing Tommy Smith instead of Heinze.
