ston Villa target Scott Carson has admitted he may have to quit Liverpool after calling their £10m valuation of him "stupid money".
The 22-year-old's season-long loan at Villa is over but the two clubs have yet to finalise any permanent deal for the England international goalkeeper.
He told the Wolverhampton Express & Star newspaper: "It's too much. It's stupid money really.
"It may be time to move but I don't know if anyone will agree a fee."
Carson arrived at Anfield from Leeds for £1m in January 2005 and had a spell at Charlton in 2006/07 before Villa paid £2m to take him on loan for this season.
He wants his parent club to be more reasonable when it comes to deciding his future.
"I don't think Liverpool are stupid. They know what I'm worth. They would've recouped what they paid for me in loan fees over the last couple of years, so hopefully they can help me out," he commented.
Villa retain first option on signing Carson permanently and he knows his future almost certainly lies away from Anfield.
"Liverpool have a great keeper in Pepe Reina and he's going to take a lot of shifting, but I've played football for the last two seasons and I don't think I'll be content sitting on the bench."
Regardless of whether he returns to the West Midlands next season, Carson is certain manager Martin O'Neill is building something exciting at Villa Park.
He told the club website: "You only have to look at the squad. There are a lot of young players, and the younger ones are very talented."
"It's been good for me at Villa. When I came here getting into Europe was the aim and that's what we've done."

What did Gordon go to Sunderland for... was it £8 million? Is Carson the better keeper of the two?0
-
I think gordon went for nearer 10 million.0
-
So it's a fair price for Carson then... he's younger as well isnt he?0

As crazy as £15m for Crouch.
Benitez is having a laugh!0 -
See Villa are now being linked with Paul Robinson for £5m, which would suggest that Carson will be on the move again.0
-
Is Villa sign Robinson where will he go?
Portsmouth-James
West Ham-Green
Newcastle-Given/Harper
Arsenal???
Blackburn-Friedal
Boro???
Man City- Maybe if Hart goes.
Spurs???
Charlton-Yes please ;-)0 -

Stoke have agreed to buy Carson for £4 mil.0

Carson is out of our league - until we get promoted!
Let's be honest - he will get a lot of practice at Stoke0 -

He could just keep them up though.0 -
A good keeper isn't enough to keep you up.
Even if you have a good striker as well.
We should know!0 -

True, but I have a sneaky feeling that Stoke could "do a Bolton" and survive with their physical unpremiership like style.0 -
Let's sign him. We've still got that £16 million in the bank from the Bent deal haven't we - plus probably around £2million extra in interest by now.
Whilst we're at it, let's make a bid for that Russian fella who impressed at the Euro's.0 -

Carson - an over-rates shot stopper who rarely came off his line and didn't command the six yard box let alone the penalty area.0
-
And failures (although he did win POTS from us)1 -
107 minutes on the pitch for Man City resulting in 12 trophies. Nothing will beat his CASC POTY win.4
-
Must have made an absolute fortune but what a waste of a career from a football perspective0

I wonder if he will run a pub or start a haulage company to get by, until he can officially claim the state pension.1
