James McCarthy

[thirdmantackle]

Maybe the fact that he was alongside Barry for that first season made him look a lot better than he actually is?

 

[Frang]

Oh dear! A couple of iffy results and this has started!

A couple??

Home form is shoddy

Away form is even worse

Wake up will ya

The difference with Sam is that he was not going to change his style, and had he remained here 2-3 years would have maintained the turgid approach that he employed, at Bolton for example, longer term. That was and is unacceptable to Everton supporters.

Silva, I believe, is building something that involves much more attractive, and traditional Everton-style football. This will take time, but I believe if he is given the chance we will be significantly better in 2-3 years.

In the meantime that may mean some poor results, and disappointing league position but, as has been said elsewhere, I can clearly remember the beginning of January 1984 !!!!

'nuff said!


As regards James McCarthy, I am so disappointed for him regarding his horrific injury record. He is NOT a malingerer, and this was shown anytime he did play - he tackled fearlessly - maybe this is what led to some of the worst injuries.

I really hope he can come through into the Everton first team squad. If not, I wish him every success should he go elsewhere.

Top post regarding James McCarthy, would love him to get a good spell without injuries, he's a better than average player and would be great playing continually in the Everton team team/ squad. Good luck James if you get back.

Good post. McCarthy isn't flashy, but he's a hard worker. It's just a shame he's always bloody injured.

Too injury prone. He was a good player when he was fit but hes been injured on and off for 3 years now. The last one was unlucky as that could have happened to anyone. However it did come about thru his bravery so perhaps it wouldn't have happened to Schneiderlin! If he isn't going to play we need him off the books so we can bring someone in who will play. He appears to be 5th in pecking order behind Gomes, Gueye, Davies and Schneiderlin.

Thought this was the McCarthy thread...not the 'post nonsense about Silva' thread...


McCarthy has to go pronto...every window I hope someone comes in for him and every window hes injured.

Just need to get his wages off the books, any transfer fee is a bonus.

Yep. We have four first-team defensive midfielders in our squad, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Baningime, and McCarthy, plus Besic on loan. Hopefully Brands is able to convince either McCarthy or Schneiderlin their footballing future lies elsewhere. My preference though is Schneids out the door first.

Id bin all of them bar sending Baningime on loan to increase his value and experience.

I think that’s his preference too

 

[Bebeto]

Surely he must be fit now?! Should be playing alongside Gomes

 

[SteStocksDJ]

I think he deserves a game infront of schneiderlin and davies

 

[mawders]

Mccarthy > Davies.

But his effing Weetabix legs are a disaster

 

[edge]

If he is fit should be given a go, trouble is i he fit?

 

[Albro]

Anybody should be ahead of Davies at this point. Where is Macca actually at? Whether its playing or opportunity to sell....

 

[billyblue80]

Think he will get a start this week
