pete0 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Really?McCarthy offers more going forward. Schneiderlin is the sitter, so I'd want more than a terrier at CM. That said, even just on the defensive side I'd have McCarthy, his positioning is much better. Edited May 21, 2017 by pete0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) In that I understand football more than you?Yes... in that you come out with some absolute humdingers. I've always been a huge fan of McCarthy but I'm sorry - he's lost his athleticism. His ability as a footballer isn't great and along with his injuries says to me that he can go.

Nothing close your whopper that Everton will make a loss on Lukaku. With the money in the game and no Martinez butting in we should be able to get him up and running again. Just need MO'N to fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbeaker Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Rather than compare him to Gana, I think he will now be surplus because of the emergence of Tom Davies, who can do the running, tacking and offer more going forward. If the offer is right it may be worth letting him go, especially as he's soon keen to play and get injured for the leaping leprechaun on international duty.

Bailey Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Koeman has said he has big plans for McCarthy next year so I don't see him going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 McCarthy offers more going forward. Schneiderlin is the sitter, so I'd want more than a terrier at CM. That said, even just on the defensive side I'd have McCarthy, his positioning is much better. I agree with you. a (fully fit) McCarthy is very underrated. He has that Valencia knack of bringing energy (and in his case aggression) to the team in general. His positioning is smart, and he's does all those essential things that mostly go unnoticed. The big question mark, of course, is fitness. Before he came to Everton, I don't believe he'd really had any major injuries, so the last 3 years must have been so frustrating for him. Can he recover? I really hope he can, but only the doctors and specialists really know that, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't even played a game this pre season or season and still getting called up. O'Neill is a gobshite. McCarthy should be telling O'Neill he is not fit and anywhere near ready to play football though, but i do agree that im not really sure what the Irish think they are playing at when it comes to him, they are going to ruin his career if not careful.

Hasn't even played a game this pre season or season and still getting called up. O'Neill is a gobshite. he will go and play both and get re-injured. i used to think Ross was the dumbest guy on our squad, Mccarthy has since eclipsed him.

Matt Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Wonder if he's pulled out as he's being sold? We can hope. If it was the McCarthy from the first season with us, I'd never sell him. But that's been a long time now and the only time I hear his name is to announce an injury. If someone is daft enough to take a gamble on him, send him on his way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a shame. For years, he was pretty much injury-free despite playing aggressively and high-energy week after week. Indeed, he had a reputation for being a man of steel with nothing appearing to hurt him. He's had a dreadful run in the last couple of years, though, and right now we could do with his aggression and drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
