Well anyway, for 35m, I could think of better players.

Yep, he aint all that at all.
People get very excited by these foreign players, too excited.
I would sell Goodison for Javi Martinez tho.
Azzurri
Player Valuation: £70m
I actually think, as mental as it sounds, I wouldn't swap McCarthy for Kroos.
Ozil has been by far a better player than Kroos and hasn't done much in the Premier League this season. I actually think, despite a £40m vs £13m(?) price tag, McCarthy has been better.
People would be quick to write McCarthy off when mentioned next to players like Kroos, but when you think about it McCarthy might well be just as good. Of course Kroos is silkier, but he doesn't close down, tackle, burst forward or put the effort in anywhere near as much as McCarthy does in training.
Not that any of this matters like, but yeah. Football isn't all about foreigners with fancy hair cuts and tight fitting shirts who wear socks above their knees.

Kroos is offensive, McCarthy is defensive.

look it's just a sexual practice, no need to be rude about it
I'm sure McCarthy's play last season caused an awful lot of us to have to come up with new words.
My admiration of the man has embiggened exponentially.

Boss interview with Graeme Jones:
“He has been like that since I met him at 15. I’m not kidding you – anybody who knows him knows he is so consistent as a human being. He loves his football.
“When you go to a football club as a management team there’s always one player who always gets identified with that management team. We had it at Wigan initially with Jordi Gomez and then here with James McCarthy.
“The pressure is on that player more than any other signing because they have come from your former club. He’s had to get through those hurdles first and then he has gone from strength to strength after that.
“So it’s not been easy for James. Out of all the signings, he’s had the most difficult challenge and he has come through that no problem.”
“If you check his [McCarthy’s] record, he is closing in on 300 games already and he is only 23 years old. This is not a guy who at 23 is not experienced. Physically and technically he always had that ability.
“We took him to Wigan with us and the manager has to take a huge pat on the back for the tactical aspect that he has given James. Every other area he had but I think the gaffer, being a former midfield player, has taken James to another level.
“I haven’t got a Facebook or Twitter account but I received a copy of the tweet the other day that said two thirds of the world is covered by water and the other third is covered by James McCarthy. I didn’t think it was a bad comment!”
