Update on Everton still hopeful of McCarthy irrespective of whatever happens with Fellaini...Fernando lined up as Fellaini replacement.

haha, you've fallen for it Dave, the late afternoon TDD Evertonian optimism, it's slowly recede as the hours tick by & will end tonight at 10.51 when they go over live to O'Connor stood outside Goodison surrounded only by a couple of scalls & crisp packets blowing round the Park End car park, as he announces that the lights have been turned off & our business is done.

 

[Pabbers]

I would be disapointed if we didint get McCarthy now.

Does a side struggling for creativity and keeping clean sheets and looking tight need 3 DM's?

Me too, no one will get the ball of him and Fernando.

Maybe...but I'll take comfort for now in our caped crusader DAVIDMOYES' pronouncement.

I can see Whelan seeing sense and doing the deal. Brinkmanship on our side now we got Fernando. The player is going to be desperate to get back to the PL and only us are seriously in for him.

This WILL get done, imo.

If they need the money for Rhodes then I agree.

 

[Jags..class]

Wigan wont want the deal for James to be confirmed as they will end up paying extra for players. Its all a game of Poker.

I think Martinez likes the two defensive CMs for his system. I agree though, some extra firepower wouldn't go amiss now.

 

[davek]

Someone said they have the Kone money, but IIRC Wigan have done a lot of business since then, so yeah: Rhodes needs funding I suspect.

 

[malcson]

I reckon the fact that Wigan are having a bid reported for Rhodes means that we have agreed a deal for McCarthy.

Yeah his appearance has definitely lifted the mood.

Surprised that it's being said that McCarthy will be irrespective of Fellaini & Fernando the replacement - so spending probably nearly £30m the pair if they go through.

McCarthy isn't a DM, he's very much a central midfielder. Direct replacement for Osman you'd think.
