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

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

Maybe.

Here's what the accomplished Schneiderlin has won in his career to date = 0.

Ah yeh, my bad, forgot football wasn't a team game.

He wasn't in any team that's won anything.

Tiote leaving Newcastle for China today according to SSN..

Could open up the wages and a midfield berth for Jimmy Mac?

Yes, that was my point...

You're stating McCarthy that has won a gungho FA Cup with Wigan is a better and more accomplished player than Schneiderlin ignoring the fact he got in the French team - far harder task than RoI - and also earned a big money move to United and ourselves whereas McCarthy is linked to a Championship team.

He's a bit part player for France...and getting the RoI to a WC is a much bigger achievement than watching others do the same from the French bench.

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

Schneiderlin was £20m.

If we swap McCarthy for Schneiderlin + £1m that is incredible business.

McCarthy has had numerous injury problems for the past 2 and a half seasons, and Schneiderlin is widely recognised as a better player - hence why Newcastle in the Championship are the only team interested.

They've both won the FA Cup. Not that it makes any difference.

Not sure how it's possible to find a negative with this transfer business? lol

But like I said it's a team game... McCarthy isn't the sole reason RoI got to a World Cup is he, nor that Wigan won an FA Cup. Not that Schneiderlin didn't win one and a Community Shield.

Digging a hole here, Davek.

Still eligible for the winner's medal I think

And Phil Neville has a suitcase full of medals, what's your point?
