    Dean Kiely

    Scott Carson signed with West Brom from Liverpool, he'll surely start over Kiely. Dean is thirty-seven years old but from what I saw in the Ireland/Colombia match he has a lot left in him to give us. Shay Given can't keep fit and Paddy Kenny isn't really an option anymore, so there is an outside chance that Kiely will play in at least some of our upcoming qualifiers. Where do you guys see him playing this season? Stay at West Brom to warm the bench or get transferred or loaned out back to the Championship?

    I see him playing in goals, in some capacity at least, though he could slip into the left back position if needed.

    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    I could see him doing a job in midfield, all things considered.

    Why not? He's said he would come back to play for Ireland, he's still first choice for Sheffield United, and we're not spoilt for choice in goals.

    Brian Murphy should be considered, having seen him in action he is one of our best options. A far better option than Kenny and good Catholic Boy anyway.

    Brian Murphy as well. Seriously I think we should be giving players a shot. Murphy's biggest problem is his kicking, but Given is not exactly world class in that regard either.

    BTW why don't Bohs fans chant 'Murphy for Ireland'.....I've only got back watching Bohs recently, and against Bray I was expecting a few of these chants.

    He's not a very good 'keeper and he's off his rocker anyways. If you need proof, watch a tape of our 5-2 defeat in Cyprus.

    I wouldn't blame him for that game, if anything, he kept the score down with some top class saves. Ireland and Kilbane in central midfield, plus a clearly out of form Andy O'Brien in central defence were far more at fault.

    There is no guarantee that scot carson will displace dean kiely.I suppose because he is english and coming from one of the bigger clubs there would be pressure to play him.His star waned quite a bit in the second half of last season at villa.

    3.25m isn't chump change, even nowadays. What is his weekly wage compared to Kiely's?

    Yes there is, WBA dont have 3 million to spend on a reserve goalie. Sadly I think they would probably not have bought a new keeper but probably felt compelled to buy hiim to keep him away from Stoke (a serious rival in the relegation stakes).

    What? As someone else said, West Brom don't have £3m to splash about on reserve goalies.

    Is it possible that Carson is better than Kiely? (I think so)

    Of course not.

    At this moment in time it's not possible no. Carson is very average and would need to improve a hell of a lot to be better then Kiely for me. I wouldn't even say he's better then Paddy Kenny at present. One for the future? Maye. The next Richard Wright? Quite possibly.

    Mowbray obviously feels he needs a younger keeper, the club can spin it that they've bought an international and that it's a statement of intent. I think Carson will start after they've splashed on him but think it's a bad call for Mowbray if he makes it. There's a reason why Villa didn't take their option on him after looking at him for a year.....

    Any team that has just been promoted will need two decent keepers anyway- sometimes you'll get blown out and need to bring a new guy in to change things up a bit. Look what Sunderland did by dropping Gordon for a couple of weeks and bringing in Ward. It rejuvenated Gordon, and gave the team a boost as well.
