It's true, but let's see.

Sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad.
I wouldn't spend £15m on him, unless we had it.
Now,you,ve gone and done it. No place for that type of thinking on here, expect to be told to go support someone else.
Right, feel free to give a detailed breakdown of the vast differences between these two central midfielders. Because that's the position they'd be playing for us (along with covering for Gibbo when he gets hurt). McCarthy may be a good player, and I'm not saying he isn't. I'm simply saying that he's NOT worth £10m more than Diame TO US.
And they HAVEN'T signed McCarthy, or shown any interest. How does that prove YOUR point that he is worth the £15m price tag? Capoue cost £9m, Spurs presumably thought he was better, or at least a better deal at that price, than McCarthy.
All certainly possible. What's also possible is that the general public don't hear about Everton's business very far in advance. See Mirallas, Kevin.
Except I'm comparing the proposed TRANSACTIONS, not JUST the players. Whether you agree or not, £15m is three times £5m. And I'm suggesting that McCarthy is not such an amazing player that spending £15m on him will have three times the impact on our squad/season that spending £5m on Diame will. Yes there are LOADS of factors that go into determining a player's sale price and comparing those factors in relation to two different players is probably futile: comparing the price tags themselves however isn't.
Give the personal jibes a rest mate.
Moses being available on loan is a rumour that has been doing the rounds for some time. Ba possibly being shifted out is also not a new rumour, although Lukaku's availability has only started to be rumoured in the last day or so following JM's refusal to use him against Man Utd. By your standard, ANY transfer speculation would presumably amount to Football Manager addiction.... I could equally suggest that your keeness for McCarthy amounts to a Wigan addiction. It's a cheap line of argument that doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and is somewhat redundant in a thread devoted to transfer speculation.
So a simple question then: Who would you prefer, assuming Felli goes?
a.) McCarthy for say £9m (given that you said you'd consider him at less than £10m)
b.) Diame for £5.5m (assuming the release clause value)
Would love to see him here and playing the same against MU this season

Aye thought the same, didn't see anything whatsoever in that video that made me think we'd benefit from having him.
A six out of ten game at best there like. Gibson plays that role miles better.

Player Valuation: A packet of pork scratchings
For the money being talked about, there's miles better than him out there.
Can't help but think that too mate. Here's another example.

7 days to go and we will know whether BK has been positive on transfers in and out or caved in yet again????

We need players who can score goals and unlock defences, McCarthy doesn't fit that bill.
He'll retain possession in a Rodwell-esque fashion and probably find himself in the same areas as Gibson all the time. For the money being touted I hope it doesn't come off.
overkill
Player Valuation: £20m
Why he is right.
If alacraz and kone break our first team with McCarthy signed thats the spine of wigans team last year.
You could put a positive spin on it and say its the spine of cup winning side.
Jags..class
Player Valuation: £70m
The problem is Gibson a sick note
Sure, but we'd get far better value for a similar type of player than blowing at least half of what we made on Fellaini. Gibson cost us half a million so even if he plays 70% of our games a season he's worth it.
Trading in essentially Fellaini for McCarthy would weaken us in a number of areas.
