Do you reckon something has gone on with McCarthy and contract nonce?
May be something that is stopping us offering him a contract
 

People really saying Roberto would walk straight into our team? McCarthy was easily our best player last season. Roberto is a decent player - but that's it. Yes he has potential, but he's 24 and hasn't even come remotely close to securing a first-team spot at Barca. No mean feat, granted, but Rafinha is also ahead of him in the pecking order.

People saying Roberto could be the 'No.10' - but he isn't really that type of player either. He's someone who keeps it tidy in the middle of the park more than anything else, and we've got 5 of those midfielders already...
McCarthy easily our best player? God what where you watching last season

Bang average pre Xmas and after his injury had a few 7/8 out of 10 games towards the end of the season

Barkley gets slagged to death on here but McCarthy gets a free ride
For running around a lot and making tackles
Maybe I'm a bit clueless but I haven't seen this superstar box to box midfielder we apparently have in our team

If someone offered 25mil id sell him in a heart beat

Besic long term is a better prospect

Defo 1 of our best players.

Even when we played badly I thought Jamo was ok
Barkley gets slagged to death on here but McCarthy gets a free ride
People expect more from Barkley
For running around a lot and making tackles
A superb attribute, not many players can do it for 90minutes and do it well
Maybe I'm a bit clueless but I haven't seen this superstar box to box midfielder we apparently have in our team
I must agree, hes bang average in any offensive capacity
If someone offered 25mil id sell him in a heart beat
A good price really, personally would rather keep him, but every player has their price and 25m is not to be sniffed at by any means
Besic long term is a better prospect
Possibly, but not everybody reaches full potential, as it stands, Jamo is currently a better player at DM, at CM, I think Besic probably has better offensive capabilitys

Friend.
 
We dont have a single player whos the best in the world at his position.

I know you will disagree, but Baines is the nearest we have to being even close.

In fairness, not many teams do have a player who's the best in the world in their position/role.

I agree with all that and I still had McCarthy as our 2nd best player.

The best in the world at their position? At Everton.

Would be a decent thread that.
