James McCarthy

He doesn't offer anything going forward for me, he's not the greatest passer of the ball either. He should be a defensive midfielder covering the back 4 with 2 creative minds in front.....

Coleman Stones Yagielka Baines
McCarthy
Barkley Grenier
Deulofeu. Mirallas
Lukaku

Spot on this mate, and playing with Barry means we have nothing from the two in the middle.

As long as we play with these two centrally we will struggle to break teams down and create chances.
 
Daily Mail now reporting that Martinez is going to have talks with McCarthy's agent.

I'm wondering if the problem with offering/agreeing to a new contract is not to do with us reneging on an agreement (which would make little sense, especially given the comments from Martinez) but has to do with the agent wanting to insert a release clause figure into any new contract and us not being willing to do that with a lengthy contract already signed and running.

word on the street is that the wage review was contracted to take place after 60 appearances, which McCarthy passed before the end of the season, thus triggering this dialogue this and assumed wage increase
 

A contract was on the table for him. It was pulled as the club want him to prove his fitness. There were/are major worries on his hamstring.

His agent is leaking stories to pressure the contract back into place. Plus hes bankrupt.

First I thought this was a wind-up, then began wondering what kind of gambling problems James had. Then realised it was his agent that was bankrupt.

Hopefully his hammies don't act up again. Getting a contract signed would help stop all these other jarg rumours.
 
Pity. Daily Star says he wants out. So that's Mirallas, Stones and now McCarthy. Suppose Hibbert's next.

Lets be honest, someone poaches you from their former club and says you are absolutely essential. Then they go and grab 2-3 inferior players who play in the same position and pay them FAR more than you are.

The fact that almost literally every major player for Everton has had an extension and he has makes me wonder whats going on honestly.

Who is getting paid far more than him?

The only midfielder on more money than him Is Barry.
 
Myth invented by papers to sell stories. They're on about the same wage.

And both are two very different types of midfielders so hard to say he is massively inferior to McCarthy.

Truth is McCarthy is happy here, martinez loves him and he loves martinez the only rumours of discomfort are coming from the one source. His agent, who is playing a risky game anyway because if he carries on being an idiot (as so far none of his tactics are working) he will find him self without any clients
 
I think the truth is probably in the middle. All parties probably like each other and would prefer to stay together, but something must have happened. McCarthy would cut ties with his "agent" if he truly wanted an end to these articles.
