From : ＢＢＣ Stoke City have agreed a fee of around ￡4m with Liverpool for England international goalkeeper Scott Carson, BBC Radio Stoke understands. Carson was at the Britannia Stadium on Monday to open negotiations over personal terms. The 22-year-old joined Liverpool from Leeds for ￡750,000 in 2005, but spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 35 Premier League appearances. Carson, who has two caps for England, would become Stoke's record signing. The proposed ￡4m fee marks a major reduction in the player's asking price, with Liverpool previously holding out for around ￡10m. However, Carson was critical of his original price tag, claiming it could price him out of a move. Aston Villa had been favourites to sign Carson on a permanent basis, but manager Martin O'Neill's interest appeared to cool, with Tottenham keeper Paul Robinson emerging as a more likely target for the Villans. Liverpool, who have already sold Peter Crouch to Portsmouth this summer, are keen to free up transfer funds as they look to finalise a deal for Villa captain Gareth Barry and continue to chase Spurs striker Robbie Keane. Stoke, meanwhile, will hope that Carson follows midfielder Rudolph Austin into the club, the 22-year-old midfielder signing in a ￡1m deal from Jamaican side Portmore United. -- 再見囉，卡神! -- ★ YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE ＴＨＥ　ＲＥＤＳ ★ ★ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ★ ★ Ｌ◢█◣Ｉ◢█◣Ｖ◢█◣Ｅ◢█◣Ｒ◢█◣Ｐ◢█◣Ｏ◢█◣Ｏ◢█◣Ｌ ★ ★ 　█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ★ ★ ＴＨＥ　ＲＥＤＳ YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE ★ --
