James McCarthy

[Albertini78]

Apparently this lad has just gone into USM FF holding a black briefcase saying £20m on it?

True story that fat mess used to be a Sunderland fan until Keegan rocked up and he discovered Greggs

 

[Dymak]

Are there any Premiership clubs that might be interested in him, or is it just crap Championship clubs like Newcastle?

 

[ah11984]

His performance against Arsenal and his subsequent appearances thereafter makes me think it would be a mistake to let him go.

45 mins v Liverpool and 10 mins v City. You're easily pleased.

Rumoured we want £21m and if Newcastle match it he will be gone.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

If we get 21m it's brilliant business.

I've read this too. And something about him agreeing terms ages ago too.

21 would be great but we also have to be realistic and know his true worth, pricing ourselves out of the market would be silly

£90k per-week was the WRD (see what I did) a few weeks back

But that Macca would also be happy to stay

IF the rumour is true it's likely to be a case of £21m if you want him now, as we are happy to keep him at least until the summer. I would suspect we wouldn't get 21 in the summer window.

How would £21M for McCarthy be outstanding when players like Schneiderlin and Bolasie are going for another £6M?

Because he's crap mate.

 

[Nymzee]

How would £21M for McCarthy be outstanding when players like Schneiderlin and Bolasie are going for another £6M?

Because Schneiderlin is a better and more accomplished player than McCarthy?

 

[davek]

Because Schneiderlin is a better and more accomplished player than McCarthy?

Better and more accomplished. How does that manifest itself exactly?

 

[Nymzee]

Better and more accomplished. How does that manifest itself exactly?

Earning a move to United and getting into a far stronger national squad.

Maybe.
