Because we have spent all our money improving contracts and extending contracts for absolute dross maybe?

We genuinely cannot be that skint, I can't even begin to comprehend how poor we must be as a club if we can't even afford to improve the contract of arguably our best player!

The money has to be there for transfers I am sure. I just think our Manager wastes too much on extensions to dross he should be getting rid of asap.
He hasn't convinced me at all on this front.

Players do my head in, pay rise every year, the team was crap last season, and still want more money. He under contract so get on with it.

He will get his improved contract dont you worry. I think theres many options on the table from him -from us I mean. Wouldnt be suprised if Martinez wants to extend his contract while at it.

I'm interested to know of all these other defensive midfielders who score their fair share of goals. I can't think of one but people keep mentioning it. There is going to be a few disappointed fans when he scores less than 4 again next season because it's not his job to score lots of goals and also isn't capable of it.
I thought with the increased TV money our wages to income was one of the lowest, like in the 50% bracket??

I'd say to him "improve your all round game and then we will talk about a new contract".

If like to know which other team played all season with two sometimes three defensive miss and still had a very poor defensive record, even more so which team would then have a player wanting a new contract after that. McCarthy was as bad as anyone last season and is hugely responsible for our dour attacking play. He is a good defensive midfielder, but no more, he is not close to being our best player or world class. He is hugely overrated by some Everton fans.

Agreed. He's a good player, nothing more. The way some revere him is a bit much imo. He's no Peter Reid.

Is that AFTER you have PROMISED him a pay-rise ???!!
What would you do if that scenario was put to you at work ??

He deserves parity with the best paid players at the club imo. You've all seen for yourselves how gash we are when he's out injured.
I'd be more bothered if we lost him over Stones.

I disagree that he was bad last season. He was one of our better players but injuries prevented him from having a great season.
Who do you see as our best players then, as I think he is up there, especially in terms of importance to the team? I do take your point about him being over rated slightly though and world class is a ridiculous claim. I also think that those asking for more goals etc are being a bit deluded about what a defensive midfielder's role in the team is though. Does Matic get goals? He's by far the best defensive midfielder in the league. Schweinsteiger got 7 once for Bayern, and other than that the most he got was 5.
