Martin O'Neill is relaxed over the future of Liverpool owned goalkeeper Scott Carson. The talented England keeper could be set for a move to Aston Villa but O'Neill is concerned that he could miss out on the goalie.

O'Neill said: "We have Scott until the end of the season and when we talked about it in the first place, there was no decision going to be made one way or another until the end of the season.

"Now, of course, if someone does very well then there is talk about 'can you hurry this on?' or if someone is not doing so cleverly then the talk is 'well, what are you doing about it?'

"That is a natural question for people to ask me - but an unnatural one to answer.

"I will wait until the end of the season. Liverpool are heavily involved now in competitions so we will wait and then all parties will sit down."
