James McCarthy - Signed on deadline day for reported £13m

[Christiffa25]

Mcarthy is not worth 15M but what players are worth there fees? If on one hand some are expecting up to 30-35M for Fellaini (no chance btw) then there gonna want 15M for Mcarthy. Personally think Fellaini will end up bout 25M whilst Mcarthy 10-12M roughly half the price. I don't think your gonna find a CM player international and 22 yrs of age with his quality's and potential much cheaper. He could be average, could be boss. All players are somewhat of a gamble. Personally don't think Fellaini is the right quality player for utd but hey ho!

See page 33, post 652 of this thread.

I said the Fellaini and Bale situations are completely different, nowhere did i agree in any way that Spurs 'raped' anybody.

 

[Brennan]

Going by the other forum and my Wigan supporting mate. We all know what our problem is going to be this season, spending this much money on McCarthy will not go any way to solving it.

You can't use one forum of Wigan supporters and your friend to paint the opinion of an entire fanbase mate.

McCarthy is a quality player and one I would personally love us to sign. This kid was talked about as a potential top 4 player last year by loads of respected pundits. For me would be a great signing it's just the fee I have an issue with but the British market is what it is.

DW wants 14 million upwards for him SSN!

Hope we sign fernando over him.

What he like mate?

You seen him play much?

I believe fourteen million for him is high too but then most fees we'll pay at this time of year will be high. He's proven in the Premier League, Martinez knows him very well and has good potential to grow. The problem is that loads of lids on here haven't seen much of him or have some jazzy foreign midfield players who they signed on FIFA that they want instead.

And it's all based on a fee that we don't know for sure like. Lets see what happens and if he does sign then give him time. It's the only way any fee quoted can be assessed for its value.

Anything else is hyperbole and further lessening the little sense we've got left in the thread.

CHECK DAT SH*T RIGHT OUT BRA.

So we are agreed that 14m is too high, at least we have middle ground.

JOG ON LAD

SSN saying 'irrespective of what happens with Fellaini', Everton are wanting to sign McCarthy.

You can in Wigan's case, as there's only a handful of them anyway ffs.

But they're hardly universally waxing lyrical over him are they. As I said, even if he does come in and do a fantastic job for us it's not going to change the fact we're looking shy in the goal scoring department.

Who cares how he plays hes called THE OCTOPUS for Gods sake.

 

[davek]

The Fernando stuff has to be just about getting Whelan to relent, surely?

It seems high to me but neither you, me nor anyone else will know if it's too high until in a couple of years time.
NOW FOR THE DDT LAD.
So let's swerve the cry arsing and hyperbole until then, and try to give the lid a chance if he does indeed sign and for that amount.

But he'd be getting signed to bolster the midfield where we'll be even worse off if Fellaini goes mate?

Ive said for a while now he would be a cracking little player mate.

Maybe you should watch more football, get on my level?

NAILED IT
