James McCarthy

[Dutch Toffee]

Dave's right that he was a good player, but only when fit.

Yeah, don't find myself agreeing with Dave too often, but have to here tbh. An absolute honest player and grafter. He'll always have my respect for that

Deluded you...... lol lol lol lol ......another Wigan dud gone hopefully.....

Not at all, he was decent before the leg break.

We all reminisce over Joe Parkinson and what could've been. Very similar situations IMO.

Wish him and Besic the best when they move on, two players who gave their all!

Is it being greedy to try hold out for 10?

I really liked McCarthy at one point I have to say. Damn shame he got injured so much and his proclivity for turning up for Ireland after not playing for us for months soured things. Overall, selling him for the same amount we bought Delph for is great business.

Yes

A real 'What could of been' situation. Brilliant in first two Martinez seasons.

Considering we sold Lukaku for approx 50 mill that doesn’t say much for his other signings.

You could say that for Moyes: no fee, small fee, money barely back on all but a few of his purchases. Fellaini and Stones were probably the best profits we got on Moyes' signings. Arteta a good profit.

Lukaku was quite simply the signing of the 21st Century. Value on the pitch + profit. Cleverley and Deulofeu fees were profitable too.

Bought for 13, sold for 8. No profit on McCarthy pal

All of Martinez’s signings are going to live off Lukaku’s profit in Big D’s head, not a single other one will fetch a profit.

That's not the overall calculation.

About as convincing as your pie chart

Parkinson was a class above, not even close. Go and watch re-runs of the cup semi v spurs and the final v Utd if you don’t believe me

Which was his frost 18 months here. He came back for a couple of cameos and underlined he was STILL our best DM even after two operations on his knees.

Releasing Niasse on a free won’t help the calculation Dave.
