[Diego]

well i dont want to sell to arsenal and i doubt carson will end up there. i ****ing hate arsenal

5mil down payment with a few clauses to bump that up a bit depending on appearances etc.

Oh and whack a buy-back clause in there as well.

In fairness Carson is kidding himself if he can see himself getting a regular game for us at any time in the future but its still nice to have him on the books and good to see him playing in the Premiership. He's never be short of things to do at Charlton.

Carson isn't in the same class as Pepe Reina, no matter how much he improves. He isn't good at sweeping up behind the back 4 and distributing play & launching counter attacks, characteristics which Pepe has in abundance.

ARSENAL have emerged as shock bidders for young England keeper Scott Carson. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has turned his attention to the Liverpool understudy after failing to agree a deal with his current first choice Jens Lehmann.

The German keeper, 37, is out of contract in the summer and wants a two-year extension.

Arsenal are only willing to offer a one-year deal which means they will be forced to identify a replacement.

Carson has impressed on loan at Charlton, even though the club have been rooted in the Premiership relegation zone this season.

Carson knows his opportunities at Anfield are limited with Jose Reina firmly established as the No.1 choice.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has already let it be known that he is prepared to listen to offers for the keeper in the summer.

Maddock usually knows what he is talking about when it comes down to Liverpool.

Why wouldn't you want a poor-to-average goalkeeper to be arsenal's number one? Surely if our opponents have weaker players it gives us an advantage. And £5m?!? I'd be happy to get back what we paid for him!

If we can get this Padelli character cheap and if makes a similar understudy this would be fantastic business IMO.

5 Million would be a fantastic price for us. Maybe we can hustle them and even get a better deal?
How odd would it be for us to sell a player at a tidy profit though?

very odd

[DeeGame]

I would not let Carson join Arsenal even if we do stand to make a tidy profit

[dom9]

No way will Rafa sell them to Arsenal.

Are you Rafa's spokesman?

Why ? If Carson's as good as he claims to be, then he's entitled to feel he could be No.1 elsewhere. He isn't fit to lace Pepe's boots here anyway, so he'll have to bide his time (even then he wouldn't make it as Pepe is sill young and is bound to improve).

I would never let one of our players join Arsenal, Chelski, Man Utd, or Spurs
