We then went on a debate about the goals for Felliani and McCarthy

Someone asked me why I thought Fellaini was a "creative genius". I said he wasn't, but he gets goals, McCarthy doesn't, therefore if we directly replace Fellaini with McCarthy we'd lose the potential goals.

That's fair enough, surely?

But they play different roles lad

Martinez see's Felli as a DM and will replace him with one, If he seen him as his AM/Foward I am sure he would be looking at similar players
 
Some interesting debate in here lads.

Bullet points.

McCarthy, hes a decent player, if the rumours are true and the price is over 10m, there no value in it, but at this point in the window its not about value anymore, think we will pay abar 14m, not great, but he will suit our system and can only help.

Barry, played over 100 League games, countless CL games, not to mention England games, decent if not a little aging player, decent option.

We need a fcking striker tho.

Ok let me ask you a question then - do you personally think that James McCarthy is a better DM than Fellaini? Not overall player, just in that position?
 

As long as McCarthy can shift through the gears and speed up our tempo from pedestrian, if he can pick up the ball and drive forward to link with Barkley, with Gibbo or Barry sitting behind then he will do for me. That's got to be RMs plan.

That's about the long and the short of it. Unlike you to be concise and helpful, are you ok?

No, he's a lot weaker even in that position. However, I would still take McCarthy, as a young lad who can improve, but at the right price. That price is not 10 million plus though!

No mate I do not

But I also think we won't get someone as good or better

I think McCarthy is a good signing with the potential to vastly improve, A lot like Fellaini did
