On loan goalkeeper Scott Carson has termed Liverpool’s 10 million pound valuation of him “stupid”. The Whitehaven born goalkeeper was sent to Villa Park on loan, and started in 35 games for Midlands club last season. No permanent deal has been agreed upon, but Villa retain the first option on the player they paid around £2m in loan fees for. If Villa do agree to shell out 10 million pounds for 22 year old keeper, Carson will become the most expensive keeper in British transfer history. Sunderland currently hold the record, having paid £9m for Hearts of Midlothian’s Gordon Brown in August 2007. In fact, Aston Villa were keen contenders for Brown’s signature, and it was due to their failure to bring him to Villa Park that they made the loan move for Carson.
