James McCarthy

Bid expected from Man City ASAP.

Barry is a typical DM
Mcarthy has the pace to be more attacking

 

[Swartzy]

I think mcarthy has a lot more to his game then were actually seeing, but i think its what bobby is actually asking of him so he doesnt get to show the full player he is, the same goes with barkley, i think its bobby seriousnes of what he’s asking of the lad that he’s actually losing the freedom to his game, which makes barkley what he is! you dont just lose your talent its more like something is effecting his game, so is it what bobby is asking of the lad thats effecting him.

Makes sense. Im convinced that theres nothing wrong between McC and Everton

 

[JustOpp]

Martinez's latest comments were impressive. He's clearly tired of the speculation and isn't messing around.

McCarthy, the poor man's Lee Carsley. Absolutely abysmal against Arsenal. Never found a blue shirt if more than 10 yards away, never looks for space to receive the ball. Let's hope the stories of Spurs's interest are true.

Agree with the bolded part. I have seen him not offering himself on numerous occasions. Same applies to most of our midfield that movement is lacking.

He's nowhere near as good as people on here tout him to be.

Cracking work ethic and engine but limited in possession imo. I think he's found he's found his level with us. Would be surprised to see him leave to one of the better teams.

 

[tim cahill]

He's a very good defensive midfielder but he isn't more than that.

I could understand if it was a poor run of form over several league games but slating our best midfielder after a friendly...

Thats a bit "odd".

In my case it's not a reaction to 45 minutes of football. I just don't think he's anything worth worrying about losing to another club. As I said, Lee Carsley as one example in that role was a far, far better player. It might require good scouting and assessment but there must be more like him still around who we'd be able to get as a replacement.

Lee Carsley has nothing on McCarthy mate.

Can you think of 4 teams with a better player in that position than him?
