Carson Makes a Home at Villa

I've just learned via Soccernet that Scott Carson is close to making his move to Villa Park permanent. I think he's been an excellent keeper this season (but I really liked Sorensen for the first half of last season, so what do I know?), and to hear that he's excited about making a name for himself with Villa is sweet, sweet music. To have the man who could become England's national goalie for the next "5 to 10 years," according to Carson, solidifies our defense and will soon attract other players. Juventus' Jonathan Zebina, perhaps (h/t to AVFC Blog)? The club is beginning to solidify under O'Neill and I'm thrilled. Let's see the energy from this announcement pour out onto the pitch tomorrow.
