Wigan in for Liverpool keeper.

Scot Carson has overtaken him now in progress, despite being about 4 years younger.

 

Can't say we've seen enough of Carson to say that he's better than Kirks, TBH

 

I'd stick Jerzy in well ahead of either

I would too, given how little I've seen of Carson.

 

Injuries aside, Kirkland didn't look to me like he was good enough.

True. For me, Kirkland is one of those keepers that need to be constantly involved in a game to show their worth, he's looked better at the Baggies than he ever did for us. Perhaps he stiffens up or summat if he has long periods of inactivity in a game because I only remember him for the times where he would be stood rigid on the goal line watching the ball trickle into the corner on the one attack the opposition would have. I certainly don't remember him pulling off any top class saves like Pepe or Jerzy, or even as good as the one Carson made from Del Piero. I just don't think he's good enough for a top club but will do a good job for a second-tier side, he's the new Brad Friedel.

No, but we've seen enough of Carson to see he's fitter than Kirkland, which is more important.

yeah, I'd stick Jerzy ahead of both as well.

 

But of what I saw of Carson recently, he does have a lot more composure and poise than Kirkland ever had, plus just seems a more agile goalie.

 

My issue with Kirkland was that I've never seen a more nervous looking goalie in my life! Even before a ball was kicked he looked petrified. Even without the injuries, I found it hard to have much confidence in him.
