James McCarthy

[mahermi1]

I wish him good luck, and good success, seemed a hard worker that played hard, he was just done in by Martin ONeil and his refusal to man up and learn when to protect himself. He was a big part of his own struggles by his refusal to...well...refuse to play when he wasnt fit yet.

Agree with this to a certain extent, but blame O'Neil and Keane two utter Neanderthals for playing McCarthy and Coleman when they were no where near fit. Destroyed McCarthy's career and done their level best to ruin Coleman's as well, definitely a bullying culture when they were in charge at the Republic of Ireland.

£8.5 million is incredibly good deal for us given McCarthy’s injury record and being in the last year of his contract. Brands is clearly a beast of a negotiator.

Best of luck to him, gave everything he had for us including playing for months on pain killing injections when he should've been having surgery.

He'll do well at Palace I think.

I am not Irish but it is good news for Mick McCarthy who will pick him every time for his country, (if half fit).

 

[dublinbluenose]

Also all of football owes James a debt for his attempts to kick racism put of football

So is this connected to, or unofficially connected to, or not connected at all to Zaha?

Unofficially connected to the official connection of the Zaha transfer apparently.

Remember when McCarthy wasn’t healthy enough to play for the club, but he decided he was healthy enough to play for Ireland and promptly injured himself again?

Made up to get rid of this sick note.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Good. Wages gone & money in the bank hopefully. Onwards.

I think it’s just an out and out deal but hopefully we can broker a deal for Zaha we need to terrify defences with him, kean, richarlison and iceman behind them. With Bernard to come off the bench wow

I would chauffeur him to the medical just in case he gets an injury on the way down there.

Good deal for us this and more dead wood on its way out.

I don't know what it is, but I feel we should be getting more money for our players.:
Vlasic, Lookman, Gueye, Henry, now Mccarthy all sold/being sold, on the cheap.

I think we could of got 10 for Mccarthy.

I disagree, if he's on 50k a week why argue over a few million. he needed to go this window before he gets injured

I’m surprised we’re getting any money for McCarthy, never mind £8.5m.

Easy for those to sit back and say the deal is too low. In reality, good to get rid, at any price. 8.5M not bad at all.
