Martin O'Neill is a brilliant manager but one thing i dont understand about him is his choice of goalkeeper! Stuart Taylor is brilliant and should be Villa's No'1, everytime this season taylor has played he's been outstanding, and then O'Neill has dropped him!!! However, Brad Guzan looks very promising, i looked at his finest moments of last season in the MLS on youtube - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mzzC1VMothI - and he looks top stuff! But Scott Carson is pants if Villa deside to sign him i'll go bonkers as i am a goalkeeper myself he's not exactly what i call a role model. One more thing! Can i now beg Martin O'Neill not to bring back Peter Crouch, believe me he wont fit in at villa and he will be a flop! thanks for reading!

Come on Villa! - Arrlui Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:56:15 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17405 nan was a fan Tiffany I think. - gazza Sat, 01 Mar 2008 07:53:44 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17403 Forget keeper, as worst case scenario we have Taylor. Lets get a right back at long last for heavens sake....... - Leroy Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:43:57 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17401 I don't mind Carson, but I think 10 million is a bit steep. What did Cech cost Chelsea? 7 million? I'd like to see Guzan come here, though I'm not sure whether or not he's quite ready to start in the EPL. - Jeremiah Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:24:26 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17400 Why are Liverpool ditching him if he is young and has top class potential? I personally don't think he's the man for us. Big teams buy a proven keeper, they don't develop them. Did Debbie Gibson sing 'I think we're alone now'? - nan was a fan Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:48:20 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17399 Debbie Gibson? I used to want to Tonebone her. Sorry mate, it was there to be used. Its Friday, I've had a few whiskey's, Taylor for number 1 at the moment. Carson has had an easy ride so far, can't really think when he's had loads to do, too well looked after by the rest of the team. Half of his work is picking the ball out the back of the net. Up the Jamesons - gazza Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:55:52 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17391 SuperSeanUK i was young and impressionable. i even bought a debbie gibson album once - Damian Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:44:34 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17390 ... You used to like the Daily Mail?! - SuperSeanUK Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:43:23 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17385 blitzballer have u not watched games this year. Gordon has been far more impressive than carson throughout the season. carson cannot hold onto a ball, his positioning is not worthy of a prem goalie - look at the fulham winneer - where was he standing!! he doesnt give any confidence to the back 4 and shoulnt be in the side. Taylor is a better keeper. - tonebone Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:13:33 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17384 carson is a good keeper but he does make a few mistakes like the goal we conceded on sunday against readin if his positioning was better he would of got to it and his communication doesnt seem to be all that good, he has bags of potential and could be a great player but at the moment i dont think hes worth 10million. i would like him to sign permanent but i dont think villa should be payin 10mil for him - richie p Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:54:37 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17382 I Can remember 3 seasons ago Buffon was valued at 12.5 Million when arsenal were supposedly interested in him. Now take carson he's no where near Buffon quality but he's valued at 10 Million. I think villa should hold out and look for better options in goal for that price. - Chrisodon Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:31:53 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17376 Seeing as how craig Gordon cost 9 million, if we can get Carson for 10 id bite Liverpools hands off. - Blitzballer Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:11:38 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17375 I should play in goal. - Salifou Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:20:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17373 i think carson and guzan would be ideal, im not a big fan of guzan as i dont think he is that good at the moment but think he does have potential, and who better than martin oneill to help him achieve this, but i think if we do sign guzan we need an already proven goalkeeper and in my opinion carson is that. - Kieran McGrath Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:50:57 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17372 I don't know much about Guzan, but I wouldn't want to see Stuart Taylor sold. I think he's our best keeper and he's got another 7-8 seasons in him and much more ability than Carson. I just don't see Carson ever coming good. It's not just mistakes - that can be fixed - it's more that I don't remember him making a match winning save. He managed that penalty save, but even Taylor did that after Carson gave one away against Man U, along with class saves later on in that games and against Liverpool. Shouldn't we be picking our team on merit? If so, Carson would not be playing and it's a big risk to keep picking him and pay £10 million for him just in the hope that one day he'll be good as he's only 22. There are plenty of crap 22 year old keepers out there - why not buy one of them using the same reasoning? They'd be cheaper. - PaulE Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:05:38 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17371 Jaaskelainen on a free and Taylor as back up .... Seems fine to me! - K4 AVFC Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:29:22 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17370 Sounds a nice idea. But really not sure carson is worth 10 mill, with guzans fee thats 13 - 14 million for the keeper position. For 10 mill i would like an established top rate keeper. He does have potential tho, altho with potential theres no guarentee remember Nii Lamptey. Bad example i know but just wanted to mention the lad. Optimistic for tomorrow no persie so best buddies bendtner and adebayor might partner, no rosicky either and gallas hopefully will remain unstable. Would be chuffed with a draw mind - aron_c Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:49:53 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2238/70/#comment-17369 Yes, Carson is still young but you would have hoped by now, with all his experience, he would have ironed out some of his faults that have been evident for a while. He pushes the ball back where it came from rather than out to the side making it harder for tap ins, his positional play is poor at times (he could have covered the Shorey free kick but hesistated and dived too late) and he seems unable to really command and instruct his defence, you never see him shouting at defenders the way other keepers do. Still young and hopefully can learn from these mistakes. - jonathanleewaldron Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:11:17 +0100
