Just seen on Sky sports news Lee Carsley was released by Everton
Thats some shock, I thought he was one of their most consistant players this season.
Sunderland here I come?
offered a two year deal at birmingham apparently
I'd say Sunderland will be next option. He will suit keano to the ground imo.
Looks like it was more Carsleys decision than Everton, he had an option to renew and decided to move back to them midlands to be closer to his family. That would rule out the Sunderland option I would have thought.
Carsley and Everton part company
Everton have announced midfielder Lee Carsley will leave the club.
The Republic of Ireland international is out of contract and has decided not to renew his deal at Goodison Park.
The 34-year-old, who has been at Everton for six years, will search for a club in the East Midlands in order to move closer to his family.
"Lee feels he now needs to be closer to his family and everyone at the club fully appreciates that," said Everton manager David Moyes.
Carsley, who signed from Coventry City for £1.9m in 2002, has been a regular fixture for Everton this season, missing just five of their 54 matches all season.
"I'd like to thank Lee Carsley for his years at Everton. He has undoubtedly been a big part in our success in the last few seasons," added Moyes.
Carsley has had offers from Derby, West Brom and also Birmingham.
doubt keano would be a fan of carsley. wont be going to sunderland.
He has a daughter with Down Syndrome I think so it makes sense that he would want to be closer to his family at this stage of his career.
I think West Brom would be a good signing for both club and player, i'd say he has another year of prem football in him...
At his age he will be looking for a two year deal, it is unlikely he would get that at a ppremiership club. Birmingham have offered him a two year deal and as it will mean he will also be able to live at home with his family then it is a no brainier for him.
I wouldn't mind him ending up at Nottm Forest!
He wont be near West Brom I don't think as Mowbry will not go for that sort of player. He likes good passers of the ball. I think Birmingham or maybe Stoke would be an option or you never know even Villa.
He is going to Derby.
Savage and Carsley in the same midfield...erm, wonderful!Quote:

Fair play to him. He still has a role with Ireland and I was always impressed with his coming back.
His options are really Birmingham, Derby and West Brom. For obvious reasons id like him to move to West Brom, but we got to remember that he is getting on now
Perhaps you should focus more on the fact that Everton wanted to re-sign him, rather than his advancing years...Quote:

What age is he now?

Apologies, just been announced on RTE that he has signed for Birmingham.
Not too bad, im sure he made certain that he had that move lined up before he left everton.Quote:

Nice humourous tribute article here which suggests that the "Carsley Role" executed by the man himself could have restored greater glory to Real Madrid. It has a grain of truth about it :)
The Carsley Role
Everton would have kept him if they could. Moyes said
""I’d like to thank Lee Carsley for his years at Everton Football Club. He has undoubtedly been a big part in our success in the last few seasons.
"Lee feels he now needs to be closer to his family and everyone at the club fully appreciates that.
"He’s been a fantastic player on and off the field and he goes with my best wishes and we wish him all the best in the future."

Coventry gets a little greener.

Carsley takes over managerial duties with Richard Shaw after Andy Thorns sacking.

Good luck to him.
Wow, hopefully he can take his chance and offer himself up for a permanent role. His columns in the Times the past few months have shown he has a really astute reading of the game - hopefully that can translate to management.
Wouldn't be surprised if Kilbane is involved as well, he's doing his coaching badges at the moment
Carley takes the reigns as caretaker boss for Coventry for a second time following Robins controversial departure...

Looks Cue-Ballish. But happy to be there.

...and just a tad hand-ballish.
