Carson Offered Liverpool Chance
England Under-21 goalkeeper Scott Carson will be part of Liverpool's first-team squad next season.
Carson, who had a spell on loan at relegated Charlton, is expected to push Jose Reina for a place in the starting line-up.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has been pleased with the former Leeds goalkeeper's progress.
"I was speaking to Scott recently and I told him he will be part of our first-team squad next season," Benitez told Liverpool's website.
"He must fight with Pepe Reina now for a starting place. We knew when we fought off Chelsea to sign him he was a talented goalkeeper.
"He got some good experience last season and now he is coming back to us." -
i think that's just a ploy to make him stay for another season...
probably get to play in the league cup ties... that's all. -
he really did well for england u-21... no harm keeping a young promising keeper... if reina is up to standard we can then cash in on carson after a season... ho ho ho
-
i believe carson would be better off playing in the 1st team on loan, rather than on our bench... maybe we can just add a clause that allows him to be recalled...
to be honest, i dun tink reina would be replaced even if he plays badly, judging from the past 2/3 seasons... rafa rarely drops gk -
Dudek gone liao. Padelli sent back to Sampdoria liao.
Except for the young keepers like David Martins, Martin Hansen etc, no more good keeper to cover for Reina liao. Since there's one Carson who is getting better and better, of course keep him lah.

Good move...Reina needs to be challenged... Dudek wasn't really that much of a threat this year.

His performances in the Charlton match in the last game of the season was totally horrible. Very nervous, keep failing to catch hold of the ball. Not positioning himself well. Unable to give assurance to the defence.....
No wonder he's sent back. I wonder what the scouts saw about him.
