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

[wiggum23]

With that rejected I think we have to put our foot down and not sell Fellaini, as anything north of 10 million for McCarthy is daylight robbery - and I actually rate the lad.

Agreed, it might help us. If they are holding out for 15m, then we might think twice about selling. If he is 15m then Fellaini is 30m minimum.

This won't happen of course, but good to hope

Robles, Alcaraz, McCarthy and Kone. We'd have the spine of Wigan's team...

All we need now is Whelans good leg and we're sorted.

...we might win the cup.

As been said, £7m rising to £10m.
They'll probably agree at £10m rising to £12-13m, which i could live with.

I won't. Spurs signed Capoue for £9m, the Danish lad for £11m. And now we are going to pay £12-13m for McCarthy.

Shame that Wigan had an exoskeleton like.

I cant see Fellaini being let go if McCarthy isn't in place. It would be unthinkable to sell the big feller before.

Bilbao signed Benat for €9m!!!!!

Wages are the important bit for players like that...and living down in dat der Lundun

Could we pay anywhere near the wages those lids are on at Spurs? No chance.

Dave the limp said at the outset he wanted £13.5m for McCarthy.

 

[Toffeelover]

Ok, Ok, Dave.. FFS..

£10m AND Naismith then..

You do drive a hard bargain..

we will throw in Osman.

That's the thing, I am not against McCarthy as a player, purely that his signing means Fellaini is sold.

If its a one in/one out scenario that is bad business, if we get a few more decent players in, then I can live with it.

That's nearly half of a relegated team's first 11 and are we trying to let them replacing our first 11?
