Doodle Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It would be good to not replace Carson but bring in some young viable competition. I fear for our season if he gets an injury. Admittedly, I’ve not seen the understudies loads but have never been overly impressed when I have. It’s the only position we don’t have a upper championship quality replacement, should it be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the likes of Butland (the only keeper, who's arguably better than Scott in our division) has a £20m-£30m price tag, we have no chance. We'd need one hell of a scouting department to find an unknown Nauer, Edison, Alison, Pickford for the amount we could pay. And it's alright aying Grant was good with his feet, but he cost us a fair few points with poor keeping. I'm more than happy with his output this season... Woudnt consider pIckford better than Carson ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I’ve changed my mind. yes we can improve on Carson....someone give David de Gea a call and telling to pop down moor farm for a trial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to worry about Carson’s pace getting back into position then we have a problem, where the duck is he gonna be, lining up for a 40 yard rocket shot?!

jimbobram Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think we are getting to big for our boots with this conversation. Carson has been/is brilliant for us. He isn’t great at playing out from the back, but everything is more than good enough. If we were to improve, we will be needing a lot of money to do so.

If he is we should replace Carson with him to fix this obvious flaw in our tactical approach to games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfella Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 On 02/11/2018 at 16:14, WAGHORNY RAM99 said: Not this season as he is a very good keeper at championship level, if we go up though one of the first signings I would make is a keeper with his saving ability but with better sweeper keeper abilities . That may cost around £20 million but if we get promoted we should have somewhere in the region of 50- 70 mill to spend if we want to be a team who will comfortably stay up rather than a team who either go back down or scrape survival like Huddersfield last season. Carson's lack of pace may be found wanting in the prem where there is loads of pacey strikers and lots of players who can play the killer ball to get them in on goal.

I don't understand why you would be lost for words if you have seen any prem football and you have also seen how Carson never really comes off his line. You some times need your keeper to bail out your defence by sprinting out their box and hoofing It into touch,. Being quick off the mark isn't a necessity but it helps and I was focusing more on his lack of ball playing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The post I was referring to said about Carson not being able to make it in the Premier League as he would be found wanting for a lack of pace. Ok, let's pretend that managers do actually consider a goalkeepers pace before signing them. How does Carson's compare to other Premier League keepers, please add a link to the stats you are using as I believe it will be a good read.

At this level you won't find better. So realistically, the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninos Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If we go up and if frank wants a real ball playing goalkeeper, and one with age on his side, then the answer must be yes. Until then, we have a few other fish to fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Anyone else think Carson maybe carrying an injury, or is it just me? He didn't seem able to push off his feet as effectively as usual, I'd back him to save the free kick 99/100 usually, was today the 1/100 chance, or did he look inhibited to anyone else?

Mick Brolly Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thought he was a bit slow to react for the freekick, but just think it's nothing more than a couple of errors of judgment lately which all players have every so often , still highly rate him and don't think there's any reason to consider a change yet.
