Constantly rumoured goalkeeping target Roy Carroll has today been linked with Everton who are apparently debating an eleventh hour bid.

If rumours are to be believed then City boss Peter Taylor has the £2 Million rated 'keeper in the bag but Everton boss Walter Smith is now hoping to raise the stakes if the cash-strapped Merseysiders can get funds together to make a bid.

Smith is desperate to strengthen his goalkeeping department especially now that Thomas Myhre and Steve Simonsen likely to move on this summer.

Although City still remain firm favorites to complete the deal weekend speculation about a possible bid for Spurs 'keeper Ian Walker must have given Smith the incentive to test the waters.

To be honest we are getting bored of all of these Carroll rumours and just wish he'd do something! Are you sick of this aswell? Tell us please! Fans Forum.
