Player Valuation: £80m
Tree13;22053But I don't see how McCarthy is any better than Diame said:
Bale just got sold for £85.3m, and people think fees always accurately reflect a player's talent.
Carry on.
Lets just look at McCarthy in a longer term view.
I know the £14M is a bit too much, but once again were in the last day and Whelan is gonna have the ar5e out of us. All in all, we paid too much for fellaini.
Anyway, back to McCarthy. Hes 22. Not 23 till november. Whether you like him or not, he is a prem player, hes not really a gamble, you know exactly what your gonna get.
Is he gonna get worse? Is playing in a far superior group of players going to be negative on his development? Not for me. So given his age and the fact he still has 2/3 years to develop i just dont see us losing out on him longterm, if anything he could get better and be worth more.
Fellaini was no world beater when he was 22. In fact he was probably the single biggest source of arguments between blues about if he was total 5hit or total genius.
Just think its far to easy to rattle of players who have gone for a similar fee to a top club. Fact is...they probably wouldnt have signed for us anyway.
We get the players in the manager wants, who want to play for us. We let the ones go that dont want to be here. Thats football, we have lost better players than fellaini and Baines and been ok.
I dont agree with keeping players either who dont want to be here just because its world cup year. When the chips are down and the players need to dig in and fight...IMO you need players dedicated to the cause.

i'd welcome McCarthy in his role as a replacement for Osman in the Chelsea game.
But I'd welcome my nan in the same role too

Probably not, I don't know either of them particularly well. Roberto however knows them both very well, and I am prepared to let them play a fee games before I decide on whether it was a good move

If I'm honest, a midfield of Barkely & Mccarthy sounds good. Provided we keep both players, it's a solid midfield partnership for the next 10 years. One could argue that Martinez could opt for a 30 year old in his peak and pay over the odds, but he is trying to put his stamp on the team and build for the future, so he is bringing in young lads. I see it as a positive. Even if Mccarthy doesn't set the world on fire, we should re-coup our money if we decided to sell on at a later date. Its not bad business.
Their is one niggling question, all the TV money this season..where has it gone? and why wasn't it spent earlier in the window?

Do you really think United would pay £35m for Fellaini when Ozil is available for £42m ?

Do you really think Real would pay £85m for Bale when Suarez could be had for £60m?
We can do this all day mate. I don't think we should be letting Felli go on the cheap. I would rather keep him than sell at less than £35m. We already need to buy three players - If Felli goes, that becomes four. We need the extra funds.
Erm, yes. What a strange question.
Hoping against hope that BK has simply kept it to one side, pending the Felli developments. If we sell Felli, the tv money will remain untouched; if we don't sell Felli, we make our purchases with the tv money - God I hope I'm right.
