West Brom boss confident of filling Carson's boots

West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson says he is confident of bringing in a new goalkeeper who can fill the boots left by Scott Carson.

Last month, 25-year old Carson departed The Hawthorns to join Turkish club Bursapor, leaving Hodgson with just Boaz Myhill and Luke Daniels in his ranks.

But the ex-Fulham and Liverpool boss says there are plenty of options for him to make a quality signing in the current transfer window.

"There are good 'keepers available in the sense they don't want to play in lower divisions, if you are talking about Ben Foster or Robert Green or 'keepers who have fallen into second place at their club," he said.

"There are also lots of foreign 'keepers being thrown at us. If anything we are suffering from a barrage at the moment of suggestions and possibilities.

"But it is far too early for me to say exactly what we will be doing.

"All I can say is many of the names being put before me will be very good additions to the team and will be able to fill Scott's boots."
