Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 McCarthy would replace Hayden (you would hope) not Sissoko. Sissoko would be competing with Perez, Diame, Ritchie and Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Are you mad!? Hayden has looked class no way he is getting replaced. I'm just going to let Rafa get on with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 McCarthy would replace Hayden (you would hope) not Sissoko. Sissoko would be competing with Perez, Diame, Ritchie and Shelvey. If we are going off yesterday's team then Shelvey imo, McCarthy and Hayden plus two forwards would be class imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I would be happy with Mccarthy. Hayden gets injured and we are in a world of trouble, as we don't have any other energetic midfielders that can win the ball back. Likely to mean Colback straight back in!

Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Eh? McCarthy is probably better than Hayden like and he'd be the one to make way if McCartgy comes in. Hayden & McCarthy in the centre seems far too reserved. I wish you would let Rafa get on with it like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going off yesterday's team then Shelvey imo, McCarthy and Hayden plus two forwards would be class imo. Shelvey was the best player on the park. I like McCarthy but he's basically the midfielder Colback wants to be, I wouldn't be dropping Shelvey for him if he can play like that often enough, we need him.

KaKa Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hayden wold probably be given more freedom to drive forward if both played, which would be interesting. Think Rafa would just rotate different pairings ultimately, which would be cool with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the window shut and another week of training we will be flying. Can't wait for Derby next match! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Think it's a clear sign that Rafa has figured out Colback much quicker than previous managers It depends if he's ok dropping down a division I guess, wouldn't surprise me if he isn't.

I like McCarthy but he's basically the midfielder Colback wants to be, I wouldn't be dropping Shelvey for him if he can play like that often enough, we need him. I know he was but we all know he won't do that every week and we need an alternative. Besides McCarthy is a lot more advanced than the likes of Colback and Hayden as well as being superior technically. The other issue is Shelvey isn't that mobile so I'd like an option where both our CMs are capable of covering ground and playing. Obviously 20m seems a bit much mind.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'd take McCarthy any day of the week like He's the kind of player we want in rotation if we get back into the Premiership too although it sounds like he wants to be playing every game.

mighty__mag Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Another defensive type midfielder. Why? Creative attacking please. McCarthy's good don't get me wrong, but isn't really any different from what we have or need for this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Mick McCarthy said: “He asked for the transfer and we’ve agreed it. “I think it’s one of those deals that if we didn’t let him go I don’t know how much we’d get out of him for a few weeks, and I get that. “I’ve got no animosity towards him. “I understand why he wants to move because it’s Newcastle, and I said to him if somebody asked me I’d be sorely tempted and all.” Class words from Mick.
