James McCarthy

In this day and age - no fee under £20m will buy you James McCarthy.
I think McCarthy and Gueye could be very decent in a holding midfield 2 - both have the defensive qualities, love a tackle and love to press. McCarthy seems a real Koeman player.

I think we need to sell Cleverly, Niasse and McGeady and keep everyone else. Those 3 should bring in £10-15m and clear £150k a week in wages.
Why? Koeman players can pass a ball, he can't
 
His biggest weakness for me is that he's either unintelligent as a footballer or a coward. When we have the ball he's NEVER open. Compare him to Barry and Gueye who move around and give other players an option. McCarthy puts pressure on his own team with this major weakness and should never start another game for Everton. Arsed if he sits on the bench for a few years and rots but I'd rather see us get some return on his fee.
Stick him in a Pulis team that bypasses the midfield and the lad will do well.
 

lol simple 5 yard assist

Not the pass - the fact that when he makes those runs he nearly always creates a chance or scores.

All of his goals / assists for us have come from that.

As a 'third-man' runner he's excellent. He just doesn't do it nearly often enough. Needs to shirk away from shying away and do it more often.

So he does one every blue moon and suddenly that makes up for months of being utter gash


K den
 

Like twice per season.....not good enough for where we want to be.

As I have said, he needs to improve. I'm pretty sure the first thing Koeman will have said to him is that he needs to get forward more.

If he does that and stops limiting his own game, we all know how good he can be.
