Radio Stoke have just stated 'Stoke in Talks with Carson' so there must be truth in the comment him being down at the Brit. Fantastic signing if it comes off, the guy is only 22, so really, can only improve further

Stoke agree fee for keeper Carson Stoke City have agreed a fee of around £4m with Liverpool for England international goalkeeper Scott Carson, BBC Radio Stoke understands. Carson was at the Britannia Stadium on Monday to open negotiations over personal terms. The 22-year-old joined Liverpool from Leeds for £750,000 in 2005 and made 35 Premier League appearances whilst on loan at Aston Villa last season. Carson has won two caps for England and would become Stoke's record signing. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/stoke_city/7505679.stm

back page (!) of the Mirror says us or M'boring.
@ least 1: we have made a significant bid 2:have @ least tempted a potential England regular - & he is one of 4/5 keepers who COULD be the next main man in sticks for England no question - to come to the ground for talks.
If the player waits to see who else is offering what then fair enough

I can't see this being wrapped up today at all. We know other clubs are interested in him and I'm sure Carson will want to find out what they have to offer too. The encouraging news is that he has given us his time and it would appear that we are the first club that he is looking at. Fingers crossed the hierarchy can pull this one off

premierpotter they could do but i also believe they will be quite happy with us signing carson as this then allows them to keep hold of fulop as there is noone other than us interested in signing him and if we get carson i very much doubt he will want come to us to be sat on the bench again

he may be in talks with brazil but if pulis and co are worth their salt they will make sure carson is well aware that a goalkeeper playing in a TP side playing for stoke city has never and will never conceed many goals - therefore earning him more clean sheets than he would in a brazil shirt thus keeping the attention of a certain italian manager.

Its just been said on ssn by a reporter that a £3.5m bid accepted, carson likes what he sees and tony has sold the club to him although we have not yet agreed personal terms atm. So its official Tony Pulis can sell the club!!! its just down to the money men now! thought that ssn reporter at the brit was taking the piss though as they went on to say "if carson signs for stoke it would be a major cue for stoke but the player would have to be asked - Why on earth would you sign for stoke when you could of gone to a bigger club?" What a dickhead its pricks like him that who are the people putting potential signings seeing stoke as arisky move!!!!
