He either apologises and comes back into the squad, or we let him go and bring in another keeper to compete with Hemming. We certainly cant afford to pay him a full wage while he sits on his arse at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has apparently been face to face contact already this week between Carson and management. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no point in him hanging around if the situation hasn't been resolved to the club's satisfaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young side mainly made up of players who didn't play or got last few minutes last night lost 2-1 to Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there has been more that one meeting, which I believe there has, then it suggests that things are moving positively. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I suspect Carson is away. I can’t imagine that Hemming was signed on the basis of being reserve and I can’t see Carson being willing to fight for his place. I reckon he’ll go by mutual consent and we’ll bring someone else in permanently as competition for Hemming as per @djchapsticks thoughts I’d have thought that Urminsky would have got minutes in pre season so far if Robinson genuinely thought he was competition to Hemming edit - I have no doubt Carson will now be back in the fold by tomorrow!

Thing is, it's a pretty big impasse. If he wants away then a club will need to stump up the cash for him. Will a club pay a six figure fee for a 35 year old? He's got a full two years left as well so not like he can just sit it out. We hold all the cards on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If big Dunne had to buy the squad McD's breakfasts for sitting in the Aberdeen end in a game not even involving us, feck knows what the pennance will be for Carson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hold all the cards on this. Yeah this may be the part that contributes to playing the long game. We. know how valuable he was last season and with 2 years on his contract he should hold a decent market value to at least get high end 5 figures/low end 6 figures IF a club is willing to pay that. He's absolutely good enough to be a number 1 for any club up here. I'd even say the same League 1/lower end championship England.

Robibson isn’t going to want a disruptive influence in the dressing room and the club won’t want to pay his wages for him doing nothing Unless they resolve it, i reckon he’ll be away by mutual consent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Sure the management team could do without having to pull together a risk register everytime we play Rangers with Carson in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I’d like to think the Carson issue will be resolved but I can’t see it unfortunately. I reckon he’s going to rock up at Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
