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

[Quim]

Do we spend 10m on him?

That's irrelavent, you don't want McCarthy because he went down. Carrick went down with West ham and he hasn't turned out to bad

 

[Quim]

Genuinely think I give up for some of our support

Good job that most of the negativity probably sit at home and watch on there laptops mate

Porto bought Defour for six million euro a couple of seasons ago.

He was in his final year at Liege and had suffered a broken ankle.

I wouldn't be to worried by someone hand picking some quotes from a Wigan forum to
prove a point.

It was me mate, and if there was a quote from someone who didnt want to sell him then i would have added it. There wasnt though.

Cabaye would be tremendous. Can see Newcastle wanting too much though.

Other quotes from a Wigan forum:

Woolmaster: yeah he's reet good and will be a BIG loss for under £20 IMO.

cheeseandONIONpie: best player ive seen since Baines at Wigan. Don't sell plz.

Mymamisloose: bargain for Everton if only 12m that.

SteveWIGAN: from my second team to my first team not sure how i feel about this!!!!

LeahlovesthePIER: OMG i want to cry so bad please stay James xxx

Del: have you seen my coffee table built out of a Lada engine lads???

GeorgeOrwells_danglies: he will be their next Alan Ball

 

[Del]

oh no but you see I can.

He loses the ball lots.

He slows down the play.

He creates nothing.

He's left a wonderfully clear impression on me - just like his stats from last season!

Good going Davek... keep digging...

Are his stats that bad mate

I think you'd probably find the converse was probably true

Funniest post I've seen on here haha

Absolute joke!

Compare them to Fellaini's - his like-for-like replacement.

 

[Essex Blue]

Disgrace!

He isn't like for like. Nobody has said as such.

so we pay more for him, cant imagine it would be more than what they are about to give Whelan and he is a much better player

Your interpretation is very puzzling. The feller is in perpetual motion breaking up play and showing for the ball off team mates and giving it to others to get moves going. Maybe you're looking at the ref?
