Quality. I don't care how good Alan Shearer tells me he is on MOTD, I've seen enough of him for my own eyes to see he's utterly bang average. A young(ish) English midfielder that does some sort of a job, doesn't give many passes away, oh he must be amazing

Yet we want £25 million for a lad that does the same ????
 

Even if Spurs were interested (and the rumour reeks of a lazy southern journalist making up a story based on the Lennon link) I think we'd value him higher than they'd be prepared to pay. It wouldn't make much sense for us to sell him for less than £20m, while it'd be odd for Spurs to spend that kind of sum when they've put in a good deal of time developing Mason (who's obviously similar) and Carroll (less similar but still a deep-lying midfielder) and evidently rate Bentaleb highly. They also have Stambouli, so it's not exactly a weak area for them.

And on McCarthy's ability: I think some people overstate it at times, although he's much more than a hard working, keep-it-simple footballer. He reminds me a lot of a more mobile Joe Parkinson, in that he probably has more to his game than even he knows. Parkinson sadly didn't get the chance to develop but hopefully McCarthy will. We've certainly seen a few glimpses of a top class box-to-box midfielder over the past two seasons.

Spurs' Leon osman

Every team needs a Leon Osman/Ryan Mason

The Ronaldo United team played Wes Brown at right back to Ronaldo didn't have to track back.
Carragher started as one of these players for Liverpool until they went completely OTT about him being better than Rio, JT, Ledley King & Sol Campbell all together.
 
Every Spurs player is a joke according to Evertonians.

Makes me wonder why they effortlessly passed us off the park a few months ago.

It's funny I always think the same thing. Having said that, from their starting team last year I think really only Lloris, Erikson, Dembele and Kane (based on last seasons form) would walk into our team no questions asked. I think on our day we are just as good as the season before last proved. They just consistently play at a higher lever then us which I suppose shows them to be a better team

I don't really see what Dembele offers to a team, yet people really seem to rate him.

I'd take young Ryan Mason over him every time.
