What happened to when managers used to say it's too late for us to get in a replacement. Replacing Fellaini with McCarthy isn't a good deal. £15m for him is a catastrophic deal, we simply cannot afford to get deals like that wrong. Whelan must be laughing his head off, he said the same rhetoric about Martinez that he did about Jewell and Bruce: he's a salesman, and they'll know we have Fellaini money to spend and act accordingly with riduculous demands. McCarthy is worth about £7m, £15m is scandalous. I don't think he is the type of midfielder we need.
