TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The most pressing needs are beeing sorted out it seems. Would really like more players who offers something different to what we have allready to mix things up a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 no McCarthy would count. If that was what the no was for. Ah fair enough. Assumed cos he came through a Scottish academy, but he must have been enough years at Wigan before 21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 No hope for Anita man, damn. Days numbered. McCarthy's much better, man. No need to be negative. Scottish doesn't count as home grown now? Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous. It's not based on nationality its based on how long you spend at a club before your 21st Birthday. This doesn't count for clubs from a different association (aka jockland) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous. Not being negative. I actually really like McCarthy. Just saying it would pretty much be an indication that Anita won't really get a chance it seems. In all honesty Tiote should be the one to give way for Anita at this point but Pardew loves the guy it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also meant Cardiff got no compensation when Ledley and Matthews went to Celtic out of contract because they'd gone 'abroad' rather than to a domestic club.

ponsaelius Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 That should be the case though surely since they're different Football Associations? Yes, that's what I'm saying. But it has to be said as Ron points out its quite different to a player coming from/moving abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Maybe I've not seen him on a good day, but I've yet to spot what's special about McCarthy. A very good tackler, and a decent enough anchor man in midfield, but no more than that. Shaun Maloney was the Wigan player that caught the eye. I know he's 30, but we could get a good couple of seasons out of him whilst the youngsters develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In club football terms it's no different to moving from Switzerland to Austria or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think McCarthy is decent enough at what he does, but that article said Wigan were looking for £20m. For that sort of money, you'd want a player with a better touch on the ball than McCarthy has got IMO. His passing looks quite conservative as well. I'd prefer him to Tiote though.

Tiresias Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 £20m is ridiculous but I have sympathy with them trying to hold onto him, if Cabaye goes (think it'll be to man u or arsenal if anyone, he'd have gone to psg already if that was on) then we could do worse than to reinvest in him, but we'll never spend that much on him.
