James McCarthy

The club very sensibly does not comment on every rumour in the papers or they would be able to do nothing else.
It sounds like the agent is trying to talk up his client to improve his contract or to get a move.

 

[ToffeeDan]

It's total crap - based on an article the Star put out at 1am this morning.

The club should offer him a new contract or fckin sell him, why do they always make life difficult dragging these things on

First I thought this was a wind-up, then began wondering what kind of gambling problems James had. Then realised it was his agent that was bankrupt.

Hopefully his hammies don't act up again. Getting a contract signed would help stop all these other jarg rumours.

People need to understand, when you're negotiating contracts people will try and leverage you.

This agent of his has no leverage over us. Needs piping right down.

Thing is, this guy everyone speaks about is not his agent. He does not have a license.

Even more the case why EFC shouldn't bow to pressure from someone who isn't even with an agent's licence.

We have to act above that. Plus shouldn't allow what is essentially blackmail to derail proper negotiations.

The contract offer was supposed to kick in after a certain number of games which he hasnt reached yet, I read somewhere .

He represents a few of those there Scottish folk doesn't he? Sounds dodgy to me.

Boxing promoter with convictions of fraud and assault.

Average Scots man he is.

Let's give McCarthy a new contract. He's on 30k per week, isn't he? Bump it up to 60k. Then, when his agent asks for his fee,
Offer him £1. That'll teach the bankrupt sod

James Super Boss Non Traitor McCarthy.

Hurry up and give him lots-of-money-a-week and some lawnmowers

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Not once has he come out and rubbished these stories.

Traitor is definitely off.

First game back at Goodison, Besic is playing and takes him out big style!

 

[Barkley1878]

He won't leave imo but again the club is creating a negative feeling around the place which may result in dropped points in the season. The boards a joke, just give him a new contract and keep everyone happy rather than drop points like we always do for one reason or another at the start of the season which potentially costs us achieving something
