Carson: I'm not worth £10m

Scott Carson believes that his £10 million pricetag that Liverpool are asking to let the talented keeper leave is far too steep. Aston Villa are reportedly keen to make his loan spell at Villa Park permanent.

"It's too much, it is stupid money really. You pay £10m for a goalkeeper who is 27 or 28 and the finished article," said Carson.

"I don't think Liverpool are stupid. They know what I'm worth. They would have recouped what they paid for me in loan fees over the last couple of years.

"So hopefully, they can help me out and if there is a sniff of going somewhere, then hopefully they will respect my wishes and help me that way."
