James McCarthy - Signed on deadline day for reported £13m

[davek]

Defo, hopefully the lad will realise how understanding and patient we are as a fanbase.

Kone got at least one a half games before he was wrote off as a waste of money.

Ha Ha Ha.

Back of the net.

 

[toffeemax]

the price of the lad is all relative.Eriksen, Capoue both cost around 10 mill, McCarthy is not worth more than that. I'm not against MArtinez going back to his old club but I am annoyed that he hasn't seemed to go further afield to europe as Moyes did with the Fellainis and Mirallas' of the team...

 

[orly]

Because they can stop Fellaini going. Ergo they're to "blame" for this McCarthy deal.

hahahahahah

What??

Fellaini leaves, therefore McCarthy MUST be purchased.... and for more than 12m.

Because we have bad directors.

Keep up the good popcorning.

It was Ronnie Stam's fault they got relegated wasn't it lads?

I'm praying it wasn't the fault of Martinez, Kone, Robles, Alcaraz and McCarthy.

 

[bluemangroup]

but 15 for Fellaini was ok, because he came from abroad and had a exotic name ...

That's actually a very good point. Fellaini only really had a few good games in Europe (and obviously a few in his league) before we took the risk.

Isn't that an island prison off california?

No don't be silly that place is

Nail's head, meet hammer.

£25m for Fellaini, of which £2m goes straight to Standard, is not good. Spending £10m - £15m of it on McCarthy is INSANE, because regardless of whether McCarthy is worth it, we are left with too little to get the three squad players we already need.

2 million straight to Liege ?
Not so, it's 10% of any profit made on his sale. 7.5 million profit, 10% of this = £750,000.

Martinez is doing what Moyes is doing

Going for players he knows and trusts who will fit straight into his way of playing

Knows and trusts do not mean they are good enough to start for a top 6 team especially there are 4 of them waiting on the wing now. Of course, feel free to prove me wrong, all of them. I do not understand why he keeps going back as if there are no other players available.

Like they played in Wigan and look where that got them.

How much wages do you think the three would be on? That'll inflate the Spurs deals over time way beyond McCarthy's final fee.

Look. Moyes will probably only sign Fellaini. We will have at least 4 of them and they are looking to break into our first 11.

And, er, was actually very good.

How did McCarthy get on last season? Relegated? Less effective statistically than Osman?

Kone has got an exotic name. You keep comparing McCarthy to (hilariously) Roy Keane. Here's a more apt comparison - Kone to Brett Angell.

16m for two Wigan players. Compensation payments for the man who got them relegated.

We have a winner

If this lad was Spainish and had a greasy pony tail instead of ginger hair that smells of fox piss and twiglets the lids on here would be wanking off hourly
