I LOVE Carr. He is only gonna get better and is already really really good. Very humble and good natured as well.
But...
Can you justify spending an average of 22 million on a pair of corners?
No matter how good...that's a tough one.
Especially with Berry pulling a similar figure at safety.
All in all, I keep him even if I have to go past Flowers deal. It's a passing league and with this set of 3 corners and our pass rush, this defense could be downright nasty to play against in coming years.
IMO If Carr goes elsewhere, it better be for a stupid deal.

Had Pioli slapped Flowers deal in front of Carr at any point over the last 12 months, Carr would've taken it without blinking. Had he given him 80% of Flowers deal for most of that time period, Carr would have done the same.
If he tests FA and gets an insane deal that we choose not to match, it will be because Pioli
badly ****ed up the negotiation process prior to this and in the end lost all leverage in the matter.
If Carr leaves, it's an indictment on Pioli - period. And yeah, there are also circumstances where Carr
staying could end up an indictment on Pioli. Frankly, Pioi's already dicked up the Carr discussions, all he can do now is mitigate the damage.
