Albion have completed the signing of Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson for what could eventually rise to a club record fee.
They have agreed to pay £3.25m for the former Villa loan star with the amount potentially rising to £3.75m with add-ons.
The formalities of the deal were completed this afternoon, with the England international putting pen to paper on a four-year contract at the Hawthorns.
The £3.75m fee beats the previous record of £3.6m forked out for Wales international Robert Earnshaw.

brilliant, the ambition is certainly there now. we are genuinely showing ambition and this move is fantastic, great for the financial side and future prospect, we are stayng up say we are staying up!!!
what a buy, and with kiely’s experience he can only get better aged only 22. will he be the albion keep for the next 10 years or even longer ? he played over 30 games for a top half team last year and broke into the england 1st team - just prooves we are heading in the right direction. Well done to all at the albion to sign him, even after the jibes given from the loss of gera and phillips you know what your doing and as as true baggie I have faith.
Fantastic news. Well done JP
How far have West Brom come in a few short years.
We are signing one of Englands goalkeepers who thought 6/7 years ago that we would be in a position to say “we have signed a Current England international”
Top marks TM and JP
Finally it’s done…fantastic signing in my opinion and can’t wait to see him action
£3.25m….bargain as his valuation was £10m last season
Fantastic news, just a striker and a midfielder to come and watch out Premier League.
quality signing. You cant knock this. He has played for england and has good experience of the premier league. If you compare this to the 2.75 million Villa are supposed to be paying for Friedel I think this represents excellent value for money. There is at leat 10+ years left in him and whilst most baggies fans will hate me for saying this if we do end up going down I belive we can recoup alot more than we have paid for him. Just a commanding centre half/centre midfielder and a decent forward neeeded now.
so err… what’s Dean Kiely got to say about all this? Didn’t he get you promoted?
welcome 2 the baggies mate
Get in!!
Englands future no.1 playing for the Albion!
Wolves can only dream! Keep signing your £100,000 strikers from Bournemouth!
He’s received a lot of criticism, mainly to do with his England howler, and a bit of inconsistency with villa. But I reckon he’s a very good signing, he’s 22 but has proved he’s got quality, just needs that bit of consistency! He’ll be kept busy whatever happens!!!
Fantastic work by ToMo, JP & the entire backroom staff! Ignore the villa fans who rubbish him, it’s like a few of our fans rubbishing KP now he’s gone, only the villa fans have bigger egos. if they’d been offered the same deal they’d have snapped him up too. An England international keeper at The Baggies…Get in there!
Fantastic signing and congratulations to JP for making this happen. Any chairman is sometimes on the receiving end of moans from fans so in this instance I think the chairman deserves immense credit for the seasons signings so far.
Re no 8: Well done. It’s only taken 7 mins for a desperate Dingle to try and find something negative to say! Fantastic signing, loving it!
I think i speak for allalbion fans when i say
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS get in.
Don’t think of trying to buy him when Hennessey goes. Kiely is an Albion fan he’d never lower himself to your level!
Good signing. Could make a big difference to you.
8. balls to Kiely. and just how exactly did he get us promoted???. I would go as far as saying we would have been promoted sooner if not for Dean.His last decent game for us came against the wolves at the custard bowl in the play offs and how long ago was that!!
The team last year got us promoted not just kiely, yes his contribution was “good” at times. but taking that next step was needed - I hope Kiely will help Carson in becoming a true hero at the hawthorns.
He is NOT a current England International he’s an ex England International that was under mc claren you know the bloke who was england manager for minutes. no.5 his valuation wasnt 10 mil villa offered 3mil and liverpool said no selling a goalie to a top 4 challenger and priced them out but the MEDIA said 10 mil as it was carsons form dipped and o’neill got a lucky espcape as was no longer interested. I love it that albion fans get excited but he would be wolves 3rd choice!
Fantastic news, I’ve been following this story
for two weeks, this shows at last, the ambition
of our club! Bring on the Premier League.
Dinglets. Read and weep. BOING BOING.
8 Wolvesmod: Yes Kiely was between the sticks when we got promoted, but are you seriously trying to tell me that you wouldn’t try and improve the squad if you ever make it back to the promised land? He won’t be the only player with his starting position under threat either… It’s called competition! As a veteran pro & international Kiely is used to it.
We have also put a bid in for a European based midfielder, his club are mulling over the offer.
I honestly didnt beleive we had the ability as a club to entice a player like Carson, we are on the up and everybody is obviously taking notice!!
Great that we get this guy for under £4M when Villa were quoted £8-£10M.
I may not lose my £20 bet on you lot staying up after all. A good signing and just as well cos your defence is going to be very busy…
Can anyone tell me how many ex England under 21 players we now have and name them??
Peace knockers. Time to get back into the woodwork.
8 wolvesmod.
Is that the best you’ve got? After all the wulfie jibes about not signing anyone, you’re now worried about Deano. How touching.
Stupid Dingles
Cant They Just Accept The Albion Have Signed A Great Player
I Congratualte Tony Mowbray
Come on The Baggies
8. Climb back under your rock eh!
Kielys going to Wolves we are having Hennesey as Carsons understudy.
Excellent signing!
We play exciting, fluent football, we have scored over 100 goals for the last 2 seasons and have the best team / squad / manager I can remember in all the time I’ve been going to the Albion.
I’m very excited at the prospect of watching us attack the Premier League for the first time!
Roll on Monday when I book the Arsenal tickets, then it’s the agonising wait til August 16th to go watch it.
It’s a VERY good time to be a Baggie!!
This is fantastic news! I can’t belive I have seen my club sign a current England international!
And 8, what are you on about man! it’s called AMBITION! (remember what it was like to support a club with it!)
Boing boing, England players sighning for Mighty Mowbray!!!! Who are you Wolves???????????????????????????????
Great stuff! well done jp, tm. etc! A commanding Centre Back and a wily striker and we are nearly set!
getin o yeah liverpool have a buy back clause believed to be in the region of 8 to 11 million.
err,no.it was the guys that that put over 100 goals away that got us promoted.if it wasn’t for kiely we would have been champions by xmas.
OH YES OH YES IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER
Another big signing to add to the superb squad Albion already have. So now how can local rivals mock and say Sir Tony Mowbray and the board are not trying to stay in the Premiership. Carson is quality and Dean Kiely will have to up his game to get a regular start. That is exactly the same at any other football club, so wolvesmod’s try to stir things just shows his stupidity. He only needs to ask the same question of Hennesey and the other goalkeepers. The answer would probably be, I still get paid but I do want to be the regular keeper and am upping my game and fitness to prove I deserve the shirt more than the other keepers. Wolvesmod also forgets that the regular keeper could get injured (like Matt Murray !)and the keeper in waiting takes his place. Is it just me, or do others find our rivals seem 3 course under damp ?
Great sighning well done BAGGIES comfortable mid table no problem.THE FURTURES BRIGHT ITS BLUE AND WHITE.
I like the comment about how Carson would be third choice for the Dingles that made me laugh (a lot)
fair play albion, hopefully my club wolves will join u nxt season. its about time midlands football was put on the map again to teach these so called southerners a thing or two. good luck for the season.
laughingwolf you have nothing to say at all.
Hennessey and the injury prone murray over this clown anyday! (The same clown that saw croatia and russia go to europe instead of us)
Be nice for him to link up again with Luka modric when u play tottenham!!
Haha
Just a thought………..the capture of Carson, is the first time in, what seems an eternity, that we have beaten STOKE!!!
Hope it is a sign of things to come.
We are now a quantum leap forward to our first tentative premier league steps of a few seasons ago….even Rodney Marsh couldn`t describe Carson as a pig in lipstick.
Laughingwolf
mate, your spitefulness is disappointing,
give it a rest eh.
Loffingfilth - Oh do be quiet Shadrag!!
3rd choice you say? Is that 3rd choice left wing as your bizarre manager believes in playing everyone out of position?!
Prediction time again -
WBA - 15th in the Premier League
Wolves - 10th in the Chumpionship
We paid £2million just to loan him. £3.25mill is a bargain… Will be a class keeper…
Well i said on the other story i didn’t think it would happen…. IT HAS!!!!!! 22 ENGLAND CAP!!!!!!
THE FUTURES BRIGHT, IT’S BLUE AND WHITE…
Welcome on board scott, good luck.
He’s not even an England keeper he’s played one game and cost us a place in the Euro’s LOL. So er, yeah well done. Great Signing! The Villa are laughing!
At least we have a CURRENT International Goalkeeper. Who proved himself against Germany and Holland away.
Brilliant. Can’t believe our last three signings. Last keeper to play a competitive match for England, a left back who won the league in his last four seasons and has given up Champions League football to join us and a Dutch U21 who won the Euro U21 championships less than a year ago! Unbelieveable. Well done JP and TM for having the ambition, guts and charisma to get these players on board.
Wolvesmod - It’s called evolution. If you don’t improve you are just a championship team in waiting.
This is unbelievable. I have to say that I had to read this several times for it to sink in. People keep going on about his mistake for England and how it has ruined his career. Everyone makes mistakes, it depends on how and where you make them. All Carson needs is confidence and Mogga is the perfect manager for this type of player. Best signintg in years. Good job JP ,Mogga and the rest.
21… you really are an obnoxious idiot. You are so envious its unreal if you really really believe he would be your lots 3rd choice you certainly need to seek some sort of therapy(genuine worry for you) you seem obsessed with your hatred for everything blue and white.
Carson will flourish under TM’s style of man management.
To the genuine football fans of our rivals thank you for your comments to idiot I have responded to for the love of god get some help young man
Are you watching Molinuex?
The price is cheap a little too cheap for my liking can guarantee there will be few clauses in that contract. But all the same top addition to the squad albion and keep them coming!!!!!!!!
fantastic news,,read and weep dingles read and weep ,,fantastic quality players coming in to go with the fantastic quality players we already have..this club is definately going places under the great mowbray and full credit to peace for the backing,,,,,what a season we are in for,,,,,,GOING INTO EUROPE THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,OOOOOOOOOOOH YES..
Haha I love the jealous Dingles on these boards!
You can smell the jealousy, it’s great.
Carson will prove to be a great signing, you Dingles carry on mocking, every time you mock one of our new signings they turn out to be great. Be my guest and carry on!
Infact you did it with Phillips, may not be our player anymore, but he always stuffed it up you lot!
Goodtimes,
Boing Boing!
fan bloody tastic,,,,,
ENGLANDS ,ENGLANDS ,NUMBER ONE.
ENGLANDS NUMBER ONE…….INTO EUROPE WE MUST GO EI EI EIO .WHAT A TIME TO BE A BAGGIE……….A TEAM FULL OF MOWBRAYS INTERNATIONAL GEMS……..IT DONT GET MUCH BETTER,,LOVIN IT LOVIN IT LOVIN IT…IN STYLE OF COURSE,,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES.
Brilliant news.I think the deal with Villa fell down because of the situation over Barry.BARGAIN.Can anybody shed light on the 10m that JP WAS JUST GOING TO SPEND THIS YEAR?Or do i have t go over to the dark side to ask?CONGRATS JP@TM
Sign Ian Harte, and you’ll need 3 ‘keepers!
Is anyone going to attempt the England under 21 question??
I spent at least five minutes of my companies time making sure i had the correct answer!!
Well done on the signing of Scott Carson to our team every good wish in the Premiership, I shall be watching games and all the scores as they come in Boing Boing to all West Brom fans.
It’s a good signing for you, no doubt about it - however, I am definitely not jealous, bearing in mind that we currently have two international-class goalies in our squad, neither of whom we have had to fork out any transfer fee for.
So - jealous? No. Impressed with your new signing? Definitely.
49… Sorry old pal welsh internationals dont count my old man is 71, had 2 new hips and a brain tumour removed last year and if he where welsh he would still at the very least make the squad!!.
speaking as an ex semi pro keeper why did he cost us a place in the euro’s why not blame the defenders or the midfielders that never passed to the strikers who could shoot on goal that where that poor could not have hit a barn door but no its always the keeper.
You stick to your league and your team and we will stick to ours
Wolvesmod, Welsh international!!!! That’s right, they do have to get most of their players from the lower leagues
Just a quick one to congratulate TM and Board for a class signing. If Wolves fans want to come on and comment let them we’d be the same if they signed someone in his bracket but let’s be honest most of us will be dead by then.
oh dear oh dear.
lets get it straight, he’s not the england keeper.
he’s had more clubs than jay boothroyd.
no one ever came up with the spons before because he’s never been good enough.
i hope you guys do well next season, i really do - but please, stop the hand shandies and realise he’s an average stopper - give me hennessy anyday.
53. Yes we are, and we’re having a good laugh too.
ONE WORD……. Croatia…..
He’s an England reject….
Wouldn’t get on the Wolves bench, let alone in the team.
Boing Boing back to the championship!
We won the championship, top scorers in england for two successive seasons, and have spent 14 million pounds with more to follow this summer.
But you Wolves fans are still in denial and think you will walk the championship and we will come down bottom with less points than Derby.
Your awesome football knowledge, its incredible, have you considered replacing Lawro at the BBC, you are right up there with his knowledge, tip top wolves fans.
Oh by the way there is a postage stamp shortage in my office, someone bought one but then the regular wolves posters on the albion board like laughing wolf stole it and wrote their entire football knowledge on the glue side and now its only half as sticky as it was.
21 lofinwilf SC second most all time appearances for England under 21s with 29 appearances.Played for one of the biggest clubs in the world [and i dont mean Villa].Played champions league matches do i need to say anymore?BUBLING BAGGIE
bomber
Carson, Miller, Moore, Morisson, Greening(?), Robinson, any more?
57. I dont think he’s Englands number one somehow!
49, but you only a Welsh international and that does not really count does it. Muppet
A great signing and a sign of ambition.

Are you sure it’s not Frank Carson?
How can you sandwell town fans accuse Wolves fans of being jealous??? We have the most up n coming keeper in the country in Hennessey and Englands number 1 Matt Murray as back-up!
TRUST ME, WE R DEFINATLY NOT JEALOUS!
Thats one position we wouldnt swap for ANYONES!
DONT GET TOO EXCITED, from wot iv heard he’s a clown, just ask the villa fans!
buenos dias, margaret! boing boing!
Cheers Margaret
Bomber, I’m throwing a guess at 6?
Carson
Robinson
Greening
Morrison (am sure he’s represented England at some level)
Miller
Moore
Not certain about Clem.
Great signing, am over the moon!!
Boing Boing
Bomber, as well as Carson that’ll be luke Moore, Ish Miller, and James Morrison before he became Scottish. Also Jonno Greening in the past I would think.
The best ive done on the england under 21’s question is at present we have Carson with 29 under 21 caps, Jonno with 17, Luke Moore with 5, Miller was picked for squad but has not played, and there are 2 Paul Robinsons on list one has 11 caps and the other has 3 ?? so bit unsure on that. i guess the 3 !!
Bomber I’ll just have a pot shot - Miller, Moore, Morrison, Greening, Robinson and CARSON!!!!!! Not entirely sure on this and certainly haven’t looked it up but I’ll say 6 is the answer.
SCOTT CARSON!!!!!!! In 5 years time Mowbray will be managing Manure and taking 3 or 4 Baggies (including Carson) with him.
so whos the biggest club in the blackcountry now then trumpet blowers
Hope this is good news. Carson always look so fretful in every picture I’ve ever seen of him!
Shows ambition in bucketloads compared to the first time we got up there!
Bomber
Ishmael Miller
L Moore
S Carson
J Greening
Leon Barnett
James Morrison (every level except full status)
Paul Robinson
probably more but I’ll go with that
47 Cartervilla.
Good to see that like Wolves not all Villa fans are numpties.
58 Baggiebirder.
It wasn’t just posters from the dark side who were privy to this bit of insider knowledge. Plenty of our own were condemning the chairman.
great news mogga and jezza doing their bit nice and steadly amassing a squad that is going to compete and survive mark my words youve not seen the end of activity in the transfer market.THE CLUB IS IN SAFE HANDS WITH MOGGA AND JEZZA. youve seen the light now KEEP THE FAITH…
come on dingles if your that good how come your playing championship football still hahahaha
I keep looking at my season ticket and thinking £299 what a steal!
No.47 (used to be my house number)CarterVilla. Thanks for that mate. It sounds a genuine assessment from a sensible Midlander. I can’t wait to play The Villa again. It seems like centuries ago. First time was at The Hawthorns, 1944. Villa had an ‘old’ team, lots of ex-Internationals. We were relatively young and buzzing. After just 3minutes; Albion 1 Villa 0. After 90 minutes:Albion 1 Villa 5. It was my first humble lesson in thinking the game was over when we scored first. How could we lose after such a start? I WAS only 13 years old. It was very quiet at WBGS on the Monday in class.
49. Saying Carson cost us the Euro place is like saying Hennessey cost Wolves a play off place, one mistake didn’t cost us a Euro place, we had enough qualifying games to secure a place if we were good enough. Hennessey let Gera’s shot through his legs, without this Wolves would have had 1 more point a 1 goal less conceded. Enough to make the play-offs. But like England, over all of the games Wolves weren’t good enough. All keepers make mistakes. Remember Seaman letting Ronaldinho’s cross over his head in the World Cup finals, remember him being lobbed from way-out in the Cup winners cup final. David ‘Calamity’ James has made his share of mistakes. All of them brilliant keepers, and I think Carson can be as good as any of them. Hennessey’s a good keeper but I’d take Carson over him any day. In a way I’m glad he made the high profile mistake he did. If his confidence is knocked Mowbray’s the man to restore it. A £10million pound keeper for £4million; bargain.
Bomber.
Ishmael Miller

Neil Clement??

No 52, totaly agree mate! these fans from stafford just never fail to amaze me! they aint even our proper DERBY! sheltered lives i put it down to! among others which i will hold back? for fear of not getting posted AGAIN! dont any ov you beiieve E & S is orange & black? its witton in dissguies!
Hope he’s got a strong back. All that bending down to pick the ball out the net next season.
sooooooooooooooooo jealouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus you dings are,,weve got a keeper better than you…you keep signing your £400,ooo as beens,,,,and leave the big buys to the big boys…get ready for donny why we prepare for arsenal,,LOVIN IT HAVENT SEEN SO MANY JEALOUS DINGS SINCE WE WON THE LEAGUE….INTO EUROPE WE GO PLAYIN THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES.
81, there’s only 2. wallsal do have the best pies though!
Great signing what ever the lot at the custard bowl think. Kiely is a good keeper but is in the autumn of hs career and we need to have strength in depth. can’t wait for the season to start.
Loffingwolf you are a complete prat.
Come on you baggies
Amazing with him and others to follow im sure we will stay up this season and progress higher up the table! I agree well done ToMo and JP what a signing!
Bomber:
Robbo
Miller
Moore
Jonno
Carson
Come on u Baggies!
To all the albions fans
i think he is a good signing and defiantly an improvement on keily, but dont forget he was worth 9m this time last season, so a 66% drop in price proves he had a poor season last year. I think he will improve but lets face it he wouldnt get infront of hennesey or murray. I think you will find he has moved to you because no existing premier league club wants him.
Bomber - 5
Carson, Robbo, Kiely, Moore, Morrison
I was gonna put Miller, but he only warmed the bench didn’t he?!
i think he will turn out to be a good signing ,once tony & mark get him playing the right way ,thats the football way to all you wolves fans,dream on.
calamity carson love it
Think he’ll do a job, not as good as Hennesey tho.

Miller
Moore
Carson

Greening
Really ambitious signing. Now we know why Stoke pulled out, its better than losing out. Whatever you say about him, he has loads of Premiership experience even at 22 and he’s better than what we had.
Gotta say well done to the E&S for being 100% accurate on this when most other sources were saying he was going to Blackburn.
unlucky wolves you’ll never be as big as us
clement played for england u 21s
Qulaity signing, hope you have more to follow! Clear sign things are moving in the right direction. Still need to follow this up with a decent centre half, centre mid and centre forward but it is definitely a move in the right direction and clear that top pro’s are now seeing the Baggies in a different light.
Good luck to you, hope we can join you next season!
Good Luck Frank you will need it with the shambles in front of you..what odds less points than Derby ??
£10 million last season, £3.25 milion this season, say”s it all really ?
This is a great signing for the club and he will hopefully help keep Albion out of relegation for next season. Kiely has had it easy lately and maybe this will push him to work harder as Carson will provide better competition.
What a fantastic signing for the Albion!! For us to spend that amount of money on any player is rare but on a goalkeeper, it’s unheard of. I see laughing sto…err wolf sorry is spouting of his usual rubbish.
Even at 3.25m, this is a bargain in my opinion. As for him being Wolves no.3, well he’d have agree to go there first wouldn’t he??
However, fellow baggie fans, don’t go over the top talking about top ten and all the rest of it. Whilst this is a great signing, it’s still going to be tough next season, but we’ve got a great chance of staying up I feel now.
Just a bit more tinkering to do now and we’ll then have the raw materials to make a good fist of the Premiership next season.
E11 Wolf said: Jul 17th, 2008 at 10:33 am
You know the chances are that we’ll pass you going up as you tumble down unless Mowbary can get more players in. You seem to have lost Carson and your foreign players may ‘not cut the mustard’ early on because the premiership is the hardest league to debut in.
Just reminding E11 of a previous comment!!
Good signing ,he was badly needed,love the banter, theres no way hes better than hennesey,when Henneseys 22 he will be the best keeper in Great Britain and worth 10 million to Roy Keane.
He is rubbish and you all thought it before today - what a waste of money on a Villa REJECT !!
Comment off liverpool fan…
…He played his part in us winning the Champions League so for that I’ll always be grateful and hope he does well in the future.
How many players villa or wolves got with CL winning medals?? Hey just a Q!!!!
I remember him playin blinder v juva at Anfield AT 19YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
75 MattyG sorry we can read between the lines.
So Wolves fans want to be playing Championship football instead of Premiership football ?
Regularly injured Matt Murray is England’s number 1 keeper ?
You would prefer Mick McCarthy who lives in the land of Narnia to Sir Tony Mowbray who lives in the real world as your manager ?
You can fool some of the people some of the time………
Look at last seasons results and table. Albion finished Champions due to a nutmegged goal against England’s, as you put it number 1 ? They all flap and make a mistakes sometimes, but you hope it isn’t too often.
Talk sense from now on MattyGreenwith envy !
IT’S BOSTIN BEING A BAGGIE !!!
WELL DONE TO THE ALBION FOR THIS GREAT SIGNING!
Just wish we could of nicked Dave Kitson from
STOKE as well.
We have so far spent 14M on players with hopefully
more to follow,so fair play to Jeremy Peace.
We still need a centre half,right winger,and
a quality striker.
You can have the best keeper and defence in the
world,but if you aint got that striker then
forget it.
From our past seasons in the prem we have never
had a natural goalscorer,the only half decent
one we had was KANU.
So we must buy a decent striker!
HAVE STOKE CITY DEFINETLY SIGNED DAVE KITSON!
arent u the baggies fans tht was cheekin carson when he let tht goal in against croatia and now u fink he is the best signing in the world
typical baggies fans unless he is urs he is no gd
STILL LAUGHING AT THE MIGHTY HENNERSEY
PICKING THE BALL OUT THE NET AT WREXHAM
LAST WEEKEND
BUT I SUPPOSE A FRIENDLY DONT COUNT.
GET OVER IT DINGLES (WE) WEST BROMWICH ALBION
ARE A MILLION MILES AHEAD OF YOU (FACT)
AND CAN NOW BUY NOT ONLY INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS
BUT PLAYERS WHO ARE YOUNG AND HAVE EXPERIENCE PLAYING IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
ITS NICE TO SEE THE POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM WOLVES FANS BUT AS USUAL THERES THE BITTER AND TWISTED ONES WHO CANT ACCEPT HOW FAR WOLVES ARE BEHIND ALBION NOW.
GET OVER IT AND LOOK FORWARD TO PLYMOUTH AWAY
BOING BOING
69. He was on Liverpools books but 4th choice hence why they kept shipping him out. He had 1 competitive game for england and made himself look a wolly infront of the world. He’s a good shot stopper but not as the villa fans say hasnt got enough quality to keep you up. I dont think jealousy is the correct word when we have hennessey and murray at our disposal its a healthy dose of pessimism to you tescos! Did you read the story before he was waiting to see if any other clubs were coming in and STOKE PULLED OUT!
Don’t make me laugh Boggies.You muppets really think you are all-of-a-sudden Premiership challengers,all because you signed a keeper who has played for McClarens mighty England.If Scott was really first class,he would have been snapped up by a first class club.
Dimwits.
If this keeper was of any use - Liverpool would not have given him away.
Dodgy overrated keeper.
How’s about Titus Bramble/Neil Collins in front of him eh!!!!!
Thinkin about it though Scott does have something in common with the Boggies - he’s quite used to playing on the losing side at Wembley too!!!!!
Would’nt even class him in Top 5 England keepers-
Can’t wait to see him behind the Boggies back-four - ooh yes bring it on you Gunners.
good signing for that price but i still think wba will go down (not just because im wolves its just the premier gap is massive as we all know) with hull and stoke but if any will stop up it will be wba.
i still think you need a few defenders because that is where eba were poor last year!
lets just hope for a premier black country derby next year!
i just wish the wolves would forget wba and just get promotion
All the Stupid Wolves comments sound just like last year, when we lost Kamara/Koumas/Davies and they said we were heading for league 1.
Who won the Championship last year or am i missing something?
Look at the rejects Wolves are bringing in, Ian Harte !!! speaks for itself.
Wolves Getting no Better and West Brom staying up the Mowbray Way.
Carson is a decent keeper but seriously he wouldnt make our bench with hennessey and a fit murray ,which is the trouble a big if!
And as for being jealous dream on all i say is when we are in the same league(PREMIER) which will happen sooner or later lets see which club goes places! l8rs BRUMMIES
love to see all the jealeous wolves fans. What a great place for carson, people like corrigan and mowbray to nuture his talent. If hennessay was that good then man united would be giving you a blank cheque. Murrays a crock and hennessay plays for wales….hardly a great footballing nation.
staying up the mowbray way
52. at the end of the day Villa wanted rid. i wonder why.
are you becoming the club where villa send all there rejects.
weve got three goalkeepers that are better.
hennessey, Murray, and Ikeme.
thats one way for villa to recoup the money they paid for davis.
90. that would make a great championship reserve team.
89.10m pound keeper what are you on.
better phone o’neil and see what other rejects he can sell you for 3-4mil.
making money on crap the o’neil way.
suckers.
personally i would have preferred us to sign hennessey from the dingles, dingle or not he is the best young goalkeeper in the country, think how they would have felt if peace had forked out 5 million for him(wishful thinking i know.
let`s hope the boss uses his magic and we have the real scott carson, not last seasons aston villa frank carson. all he needs to do is have a cracker against arsenal and his confidence will be back.
Another piece of the TM jigsaw.Bottom line is that Carson is young,joined us from Liverpool,and has already played for England.If anyone wants to criticise him or the deal,they must either be jealous,too stupid to understand football,or both (or in other words a wulf).
Proud - glad someone mentioned Gera’s goal again!
Hennessey is a good keeper but seriously how long will he stay at the custard bowl New deals are new smeals if you’re nowhere in Jan and a premier club comes in with a decent offer he’ll be off.
Can’t believe you’ve got anything to shout about while mad mick is still there.
This is a great signing for us and as many have said Carson just needs a bit of confidence rebuilding. Villa did obviously want him but there was a problem there from Liverpools point of view so to get a player from a top 6 club (whatever the international credentials he has) is a real statement of intent from Albion and one that has the blue and white side of the black country salivating at the thought of the new Premiership season starting and having a team that will compete in it rather than just participate.Well done TM JP and the new Technical director. I have been really impressed with the transfer dealings this summer so far.
yes he made a howler against the croats but so did robinson, and jame’s mistakes are well documented. peter shilton made mistakes so did seaman and the great ray clemence all playing for england. the fact that he was picked for such an important game proves how highly he is rated in the game. a great signing for such a small fee. he will also learn from dean kileys experience.
get in there me son
Thw Wolves fans are having a laugh. 2 International keepers? Who are they then? Playing for Wales doesn’t count as being an international they’re sheep do a better job than the players!
Oh hang on a minute everyone, lets not forget Steve Bull, he played for England a few times, he was, according to Wolves fans, the best striker england had seen for ages, SCORING GOALS IN THE FOURTH AND THIRD DIVISION!
Get real dingles, only the best for the baggies!
Welcome to the promised land Scott.
THE FUTURE’S BRIGHT IT’S BLUE AND WHITE!
A long way now from being a ‘pig in lipstick.’ No longer even Happy’s five pinter at the disco. Still not the gorgeous, long legged blonde that your scared to even talk to but approaching the decent bird you’ll give a try after a couple of pints. Unfortunately Wolves are still in that queue outside hoping to be let in. The unfortunate thing about that queue is that after you’ve been waiting patiently for what seems years, some pushy types come and jump to the front and get straight in. Never mind.
91 HMHF.
So much of a Villa reject that they tried to sign him. Remember, put brain in gear then switch on computer, not vice versa.
91 HMHW.
You have jumped from 91 to 111. How do you do that?
119 & 120. Michael.
Dear oh dear. Mickey boy. These are ridiculously stupid comments even by your high standards. Jest read through them again.
To the enlightened Wulfies who have posted considered comments on this thread. Yes I rate Matt Murray very highly but I think I’m correct in saying that he either played very few or possibly no games in the prem due to injury. This brings us to the point, will he ever be fully fit again? It gives me no pleasure to bring this up as surely no one in their right mind takes pleasure from players being injured but it is a worry. Hennessy I rate as a very promising young keeper who has only had just over one season in the CC. Carson has played in the prem and at international level where the finishing is much more clinical. If he was so bad at the Villa, why was he never dropped? He’s not the finished article but has the potential to be. Like Hennessy but he’s further up that road.
Credit to JP for pulling out the strings, and also credit to the “few” wolves fans for actually making sense, unlike no-brainer Michael and co, who all still sleep with the light on. Carson is a quality keeper and it just goes to show our ambition in the signing, seriously kist look at Cech vs Iain Harte. Now thats ambition…….keep them coming JP.
Wolvesmod you loooooooser! How Jelous are you? lol
Re our superb squad…Mowbray builds it, they will come, England player for West Brom!!!!!!!! YEAH MOWBRAYS VISION IS THE WAY FORWARD!
Prediction time again -
WBA - 14th in the Premier League
Wolves - 15th in the Chumpionship fizzy pop
There is’nt a keeper in this world that has not made a howler in his career. Many in England Jerseys. Carson was only 21 when he was shoved in the deep end against Croatia, but he will learn from it and be a better keeper for it. Having Kiely to bring him on will benefit his career and is a great buy for us.
Those at the custard bowl who are green with envy crawl back under the stone from which you came from and leave us to the Premiership!!!!!
136.You want to put your brain in gear with
silly comments like that,sound a right dimwit from sandwell town.
Saw this guy play for Sheff Wed on loan at Molineux a couple of years ago and he dropped everything. Villa fans not impressed either and were happy they didn’t sign him.
Carson is not fit to clean Hennessey’s boots.
77.ME TOO
all this “you are jealous” lol we are supposed to be jealous because you have brought a goalkeeper who in my view is worse than the 2 we have??
yea thats a good one.
by the way how is the new owner hunt going on???
how is the 7 fig…. sorry i mean 6 figure sponsorship deal going???
the only thing you have which we crave you could say is premiership status. and with you lot you will only have it 9-10 months tops!!
so what we supposed to jealous of again??
The only reason wulfs are getting so involved is because they think they have good keepers,but Carson is a regular Premiership player-a class apart.Also,let’s face it,if the wulfs look at their outfield players,they need somebody good in goal to help out.
your still soooooooooooooo jealous dinglets ,,everybody is laughing at ya fools…..go consontrate on mad mick turning you in to a mid table chumpionship team,,,ups sorry you already are…….INTO EUROPE WE GO THE MOWBRAY WAY,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES..
wait till terrys back he will have a field day with you jealous dinglets,,,,,,,in ya go……INTO EUROPE WE GO THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES..
143. The fact that you’re in the fizzy pop league, with no chance of getting out of, unless you’re relegated! Your manager is an idiot who hasn’t got a clue. Keep siging your £100k players from Bournemouth!
YOU’LL NEVER BEAT THE BAGGIES!!!
148. i agree vokes 18 year old from bournemouth and kightly was 25k aswell from grays athletic so all lower league players are poor?? how is that mccourt doing for you?? you know that 50k signing from that irish league club OHHHHHH i forgot he didnt join you did he?? and that dorran weren’t he a cheap’un as-well??
carson cant believe he is only what 22-23 he looks 30? once this season is over he will feel 30!!
like someone as said says it all doesnt it 6months ago carson was a 10m keeper now he is a 3.25m keeper, even the housing market aint dropped that much!!
Interesting reading all thses posts. I’m a Wolves fan and no, I aint envious. You lot really are making yourselves look really silly. Talking about Europe and ‘Sir’ Tony - get real. Fact is you have signed an above average keeper - who only played for England because of the shortage of keepers. You will struggle - fact as most teams who get promoted. Your style of football will change, established teams in the Prem will rip your style apart and you will be forced into an ugly style of football to try to prevent thrashings. Time to wake up and smell the coffee me old Tesco bags!!
You steptoes make me laugh, you’re so far up yourslves it’s embarrassing, so what if you’ve signed a england has been/never will play for again, he’ll be picking the ball out of your net that many times he’ll have to have physio. we’re not jealous of you we never have been we never will be we’re a much bigger club, bigger crowds we’ve won more honours and it’s great to be Wolves. p.s you can’t even think of your names to call us you have to copy Preston. Muppets
And by the way - if Carson is such a class act, why aint he gone to a bigger club? Before you all start thinking you are a big club…..you aint. Villa have opted for an old american, Stoke have run a mile. Thats 2 clubs. Surely when someone is as good as you lot reckon Carson is, he would of had 100’s of clubs after him?
Everyone keeps naming carsons mistake for england. Was i the only person who saw hennessy’s howler on sky…burnly wasn’t it?
The level of remarkably crass, and downright stupid comments from the dingles on this story, has reached new and previously unsurpassed lows.
You would think it impossible to get so many idiotic narrow minded fans of a club, of whom, this thread should have no consequence.
Unless Happy-Baggie has re-instated his
“cretinous dingle comment of the day” award
RUBBISH KEEPER
JOINS RUBBISH CLUB
WOLVES WILL ALWAYS BE A BETTER AND BIGGER CLUB THAN THE ZEBBEDEE BOINGERS.
calamity carson - wolves will always be a better and bigger club? I love how delusional dingle fans are.
Only have to look at the last 7 times we’ve played you over the last 2 seasons. Think you’ll find we won 5 and put a rather nice 11 goals past you. You can’t contend with us, so we will now have to look to villa finally for a tough derby.
Really happy with this signing, even if he made a bad mistake. All goalkeepers have bad days - dunno if you remember dingles but Hennessy’s was a gooden!
I dont think you dingles have won more trophies
141 big IQ rich.
Welcome back. Eloquent as always and so wtty.
152. Stoke run a mile LOL! They pulled out when they knew they’d lost the chase to save face. The only time Stoke ran a mile was after your boys all thru Wolverhampton town!
Priceless. Absolutely priceless. Well done signing “butterfingers”. I note the first thing TM has had to do is try to boost his confidence! Jealous? Wouldn’t swap our Wayne for Carson + £5m. Still, live in your dreamland guys. The ones posting here saying “yay, best thing since slice bread, aren’t we great” are probably (that’s ‘proberly’ to you Terry) the ones who came on in ecstacy when Peace put the club up fo sale, saying you were about to be bought by a Russian billionaire and challenge the top 4! How’s that going by the way?
119 - Well youre a bit of an idiot if youre laughing at hennessey picking tha ball outve the net when it was carl ikeme who was in goal
155
jealous jealous dingles, if your bigger and better please tell me what league your in?
Thats right the pop league buying welsh int not full English int.
My dog could play for Wales and do a better job than hennessey, remeber the same style of slip up against burnley he did, laughed my head off.
Wolves will never be a big club and no where near as big as Albion.
Wolves Fans Claim There better.. but didnt we beat you at the Molineux.
Hennesey didnt save you there did he?
Jealous dingles
Make Me laff
Cmon The Baggies
wolves will be a bigger and better club than albion?
m8 are u sure? u cant beat us, we always come out on top.
bigger club? lmao!! uve been in the premiership once. enjoy signin york city players!!
calamity carson - just curious as to what you base your view on?
Tell you what I think, I think both Albion and Wolves have some pillocks for fans, and they all post on the E&S. There’s some very jelous dingles, and before you disagree, the very fact you’re so keen to comment on Scott Carson tells it’s own story.
As for my fellow baggies, just rise above it.
4_1 you are going down. up the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
144. sh*tpantswulfs. “The only thing you have which we crave you could say is premiership status”. Thanks for actually admitting to your jealousy, it says it all about you wulfs fans doesn’t it?.
167. dorkish wulf. If we do go down we will be giving your lot a footballing lesson again. I can’t see you finishing above any of the teams relegated from the prem last year & there are all the teams that finished above you last year(except for us, Stoke & Hull of course, as we are in the prem!)that are still going to give you a game.
Good signing.
I hope he’s got a good deal with Addidas cos he’ll wear out a few pairs of gloves with your ropey back 4!
We all know he won’t have signed unless he had a clause in his contract stating he could leave for 3 million when you lot get relegated next season (and will be back playing us again)
You don’t get in the england squad saving shots from geriatric strikers like Phillips in the championship!
170. Clappedout Wulf. Good to see that you are not kidding yourself about wulfs getting promoted.
I am also looking forward to seeing how well that geriatric striker will do against your fantastic defense this season….
HENNESSEY! HENNESSEY!
to you moaning wolves fans just read the electronic edition at the top of this page(WHATS THAT IN GREENINGS HANDS) NUFF SAID…
172. Wulfs Tum. Yes, you will be needing a double brandy after watching the wulfs.
