money,length of contract,chances of 1st team (100% @ Stoke & prob WBA too)& chances (or perceived chance) of staying in the prem + geography going to be close? Agreed Lord, there isn't much in it to be honest. Fingers crossed Tone and the boys can convince him to stay in the Potteries before even travelling to The Hawthorns

Im trying to think of any current players who have played alongside him who could help persuade him.
Cresswell at leeds Salif at liverpool
Any others? personallly i will be amazed if he signs but if he does it will sent a great message out to other potential signings.l

Didn't Carson move to Liverpool early 2005? Also Salif Diao was away on loan for most of Carson's time at Liverpool.

"+ geography" I'd say that one would probably the biggest thing really. If memory serves me right, Carson admited a while ago that he was happy to take a pay drop and even drop a devision in the search of first team football. With Stoke being much closer to Liverpool and his Cumbrian roots and home (clutching at straws maybe?), it MIGHT be enough to pursuade him to sign on. That and the fact that the baggies are cunts

I was thinking about it too Kev
I know he isn't officially our player but I think Matteo played with him at Leeds and he also knows a number of current Liverpool players so he might know him from meeting up with them in Merseyside? ??? (clutching at straws me thinks!!)
None of our England under 21 stars have played with him at that level

This signing is crucial for us. Not only is he a very decent keeper but a high-profile signing like this would really tell our targets that we are serious about staying up.

it will be interesting if he signs because that sends us lot a good message about other close to done deals, carson is sure to ask about club ambition before signing.

Could prove to be a massive signing for us. Come on Tone, wrap up the deal. Carson and Shawcross in the team - the future of england....

yeah i agree with denty if we sign him then this will really help us to attract the type of player needed to stay up as why would an engalnd international want to jeopardise playing for his country with a team wanting to get relegated

I reckon Banksie should be brought to the Brit now to persuade him on our history of goalkeepers.

its got to be close to being completed for it to be leaked now. we could be in for a long day at the brit today as i dont think tone will want to go home until we've got this one in the bag with a medical completed

where does this leave higginbottom - i heard on here that because keane felt he was over charged for higgy he was trying to do the same over a joint fulop/higgy bid. if were no longer in for fulop maybe we wont be in for higgy.
i think we can do better anyway

I see that Brazil are currently touring Germany and Holland obviously meaning Mowbray won't be at the Hawthorns to persuade Carson to join them. Maybe that gives us an advantage? Go arn Tone, sign him up!

According to Sky Sports, the Baggies have also offered an extended deal to a keeper they had on loan, seen as 'competition' for number 1 Dean Keilly. I'm clutching at straws a little i know, but its only a 2 man competition here. Carson v Simmo.
And everyone knows Keilly is an amazing keeper! *cough...cough*

sorry mate, couldn't resist,
got everything crossed twice now for the terms to be agreed...
Can't believe we're even linked with a full England international, let alone had a 4 million pound offer accepted on one who is only 22!!!!!!!!!!
