Scott Carson

Signed today. Good or bad signing? Grant under pressure so maybe no more near post goals, air punches and failure to catch high balls.

Am I the only one not totally enamoured by this signing? Is he really that much better than Grant? I don't think there's much to choose between them.
Last year when Grant was injured we loaned a Premier league second choice keeper who was pretty decent.
Hope I'm proved wrong etc, but for me, not that excited about this one.

It's funny how we've forgotten Mr Butland's distribution and his well placed kicks into touch.

I wonder if Kelle Roos is not in the picture, what's Carson's distribution like? I know he was famed for the Wigan long ball to the opposition centre back's.

I can't say i saw enough of Wigan to judge whether he was a good keeper in a poor team or whether he was part of the problem there.

Who knows, actual competition may help Grant recapture his form

I hadn't forgot Butland's distribution but as we didn't sign him it is immaterial. We didn't sign de Gea or Cech either.

Why do our goal keepers have a wild west theme?

I didn't mean Butland per se, I meant there are very good GK's warming the benches of Premier league teams that we might be able to loan should the need arise instead of going out and buying a very "meh" player. I assume Kelle Roos isn't deemed good enough.

It doesn't bleeding matter anyway. All he's going to do is watch all of the goals being booted in at the other end of the pitch. If he can count accurately that may be the reason he has been signed.

Oooooohhh, look at Vidal getting all The Rock on us

Why do we need a goal keeper? Clement will revolutionise the game by having 11 outfield players.

Carson is a decent right back by all accounts. #TOTALFOOTBALL

Is it me or does new boy Scotty Carson look like he's apologising in this picture? Couldn't they find one where he wasn't
