James McCarthy

[Thomasc]

Where is that God of a striker Yakubu!

Could have been a legend but for that injury.

Everton that.

You take what offer is on the table IMO, any return now on a player who has played as little as he has is a good offer.

Id have skin in the game as i want him back playing for Ireland so im open minded, but i do feel a fit Jamsey is worth at least what we payed him, 10 seems fair, but we do need to shift players and reduce the wage bill, id say that is known and clubs are low balling.

Id be a bit of Jamsey fan, after seeing him break through at H.A. and following him since.

Rafael is a massive fan of his and has tried to sign him more then once, i wonder would he give him a sniff now hes Brewsterd in China.

Be sad to see Jamsey go, hes a very good player.

Its a massive shame his injuries have limited his contribution, but we are not innocent on that score either. When you weigh it up a fresh start might be best for both parties, but 8 mill seems low, id sell or 10-12, that said it almost all profit and he would be on a decent bit of wedge in wage.

He has played 18 games in the past three seasons.

If someone offered £8.00 should snatch their hand off.

Let someone else pick to his wages up, whilst he`s on the treatment table.

Ive come around to the idea its probably best for the club and the lad himself, still think its a shame. But hes 28 and only about half through a potential career, i dont think we should be giving him away either. 10 or close to it would be my magic number.

Heitinga won our player of the year didn’t he one season?

...so did Rodwell.

One of the most negative footballers I've ever seen. People have a go at Gana for not spotting a forward pass; McCarthy is utterly allergic to them.

Getting his wages off the books, would be in itself a major achievement.

If there's any truth that any club in the world would pay us a penny for him we should be all over it. He must be on £50k pw at least and contributes zero these days.

Fair on the Rooney.

I personally believe Coleman to be a better signing due to low outlay, captain, loyal to the club.

I’d possibly put stones above Lukaku because it was a low outlay, and pretty sure the price we received was a greater multiple than that of Lukaku.

From a goals and profit perspective Lukaku was the best no doubt, but the hassle and disrespect, plus the higher outlay for his purchase... I’d not say he was the best.

Depends on how you define ‘best’

Coleman has been value for money, but lets have it right, he's pretty basic and wont (and wouldn't have) ever fetch a massive fee.

Stone" Moyes bought him, but do you think for one minute he'd have been wanted by City under the c oaching of Moyes? He'd never have been given the game time or the liberty to play out from the back that Martinez gave him and which enticed City in the first place. The Stones sale cant be put down to Moyes.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Ignoring money, it simply has to be Cahill.

Even when you factor in money - wasn’t he only 1.5 million?

Where is that God of a striker Yakubu!

He's one outside 'the vast majority' I listed who fal between great signings and utter tripe.

 

[davek]

Heitinga definitely wasnt bang average. Didnt he win player of the season once as well? Liked him me

He was a friggin' nuisance most of the time.

There is that, we need the money certainly, but id still be trying to bump up that 8mill if true. Palace will be concerned about injuries, something like 8 mill up front and 2 mill, after so many games a season or something. Seems like a logical compromise.

You missed Yobo out, he was a good signing gave us some pace at the back, we’d of got our money back if the Turks had paid up. Marcus Bent was cheap did a job and got sold for profit. Yak slotted for us, Neill, Beckford and Naismith all made us a decent profit so we’re decent signings, a few others without being fantastic we’re budget fillers that did ok.

Some decent loans as well Donovan, Manny Fernandes, Jo.

Yobo was a hoof merchant. Utter turd. Quick but turd.

Yep just think of the damage Martinez could have done of given longer! In only 3 seasons he gave us
Alcaraz
Atsu
Rodriguez
McGeady
Niasse
Tarashaj
Stanek
Henen
Kone
Eto (who sussed out he had signed for a clown very quickly)
Cleverly (who he called one of the best midfielders in England )lol
Galloway
Besic
Byrne

See we can all do this

Martinez best signings were clearly Barry, McCarthy (first season) and Lukaku, though Lukaku had his best season under Koeman.

Now there’s your actual reality.

You won’t respond to this I expect as it smashes your posts into tiny little pieces.

Eto'o - one of the best players of his generation. FFS. Thinking cap on lad.
