Romey 1878 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can't tell you how happy I am that we've finally got him here. I've been watching him since he was 17 and only wish we'd had the foresight to sign him from Hamilton for the £1.2million Wigan got him for. We probably have overpaid slightly but we're the only ones to blame for that, and I fully believe he'll repay that fee anyway. troy8 and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe £3-£4m over paid - thats been offset by the £6m I think I would count ourselves lucky to get extra for felli. £22m would have been ok with me there.

Mirallas Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm good with English, but I had to do a bit of an effort to understand him some of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's Done It! Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 He's a really good signing for you lot. Fits in better with Martinez's ethos than Fellaini does. He's a creative B2B player that has a great engine and a great passing range. Really like this signing, maybe a mil or three overpriced but that's football these days. I think he'll definitely be a starter for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Comes across very well in the interview. Obviously has a great attitude and we know that he is technically and tacticly very good. I think we might be on to a winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post EKACCIE Posted September 4, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 As an Accies fan I have followed James McCathy's career closely. The guy is without doubt a star in the making. When you compare the number of first team appearances against his age he has always been well ahead of players in his age group. At 17 he was the best player at Accies when they won the First Division in 2008, at 18 we was voted Scotalnd's Young Player of the Year after one season in the SPL and moved to Wigan. Now at 22 he has won the FA Cup and won a move to a top Premiership club. Time will tell but if he continues his progression he will be a star at Goodison and as I ahve always said , just wait until he reaches 26-28 age bracket , he just might be something special. He has a superb passing range, he has a bit of pace, he can tackle, he can score goals despite this lacking at Wigan he was Accies joint top scorer in the SPL. More than anything James has a football brain, he has always been able to anticipate and get in the right positions to break up play and drive forward. At Wigan he learnt to release passes earlier and raerely gives the ball away, however he makes mistakes as he is still young , but with the right coaching and the better players Everton have beside him, in years to come you might think £13m is a bargain.

maroon1 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'll echo everything the Hamilton fan said...the laddie is real quality and the better the team he's in the better he'll be. He'll always give 100% and the fans will take to him straight away. You won't get a bit of bother with him as he's no "billy big time". Sit back and enjoy him because it wouldn't surprise me if he did end up at a Real Madrid or Barcelona....he is that good Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I've always liked him, always thought he had 'natural quality' but hearing everything that you guys (north of the border) have said, i'm even more excited. Im hoping he takes to our team like Brett's mum on my bellend. Really looking forward to the lad playing.

The game if i'm not mistaken was watched by 90000 in the ground and refereed by Arnaldo Coelho (the first brazilian - and indeed non european to ref a world cup final) I was 6 at the time, now how's about that then...
