EFC-Paul Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Such a shame for the lad, although I'd have liked to have seen him moved on due to obvious reasons I was always torn on the idea as a fit McCarthy would be one of the first names on my team sheet Great little player with ironically the bottle and grit to make such challenges as he did today I'm sure the club will do more than right by the lad and I hope he makes a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Don't mean no harm but I said weeks ago he should have been sold, what I actually said was his next injury will be a career finisher, and I think it will be. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I hear you Dunc, but it doesn't matter what caused the injury he's just one of those players that is always injured, I feel sorry for him. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Gutted for him. Been enjoying his performances since he came back. He's been looking like the McCarthy of that very first season we got him. Hard to believe it can happen to a guy who has struggled so much with his injuries. And while doing what he does best...getting stuck in while others shy away. And another serious injury to one of our players. Be hard to believe that any other club has had as many long term injuries as we have in the last few years. Especially leg breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Heart breaking pictures. Seeing Rondon and the way he reacts. This isn’t just a terrible injury, it’s career ending for James. Just when we see a glimmer of hope with the way he has performed. Sam. You have the easiest job in the world against Leicester. You just need to point out that the players owe McCarthy a performance for doing what every player should do week in week out. If ever there was an opportunity for boys to become men, then this is it. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on. The guy is a human, a football player and an Everton loyal. Was our best player a few years back and you are talking about him like he is only money that we now have lost. He broke his leg saving our arses tonight. Yes he was injury prone but this freak accident had nothing to do with that. I know that you probably didnt mean to be insensitive.

aaron Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Still feel sick from seeing his leg at that angle, could see it flopping about from my seat. Absolute horrible injury and hope he makes a full recovery. I feel terrible for Rondon as well, who has done himself proud with his teeet tonight, hope he doesn’t dwell on it too much, was a freak accident, a couple of dickheads actually booed Rondon a couple of minutes after the game restarted.

I,m sure they do and will continue to do so Mike. We are offering our opinions just like others are about selling Mori and Besic because they are sicknotes. It's not really heartless it's business. On a lighter note the commentators said that Coleman left the stands to meet the stretcher, probably for words of comfort. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead1 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 McCarthey was injured coz he was being brave something all our other so called central midfielders wouldn't have had the balls to do. Saying he should've been sold weeks ago is ridiculous when we have no-one else like him! Get well and come back stronger James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Smeg, he should have been sold when he was fit, shame on him being injured and I feel for him but we are well stocked in midfield and he wasn't missed before and he won't be missed now. It wasn't difficult to forecast that he would be injured again fairly soon, so now the club will continue to pay him his £75k or so a week until his contract runs out and he won't play another game for us this season, or ever again.

Hafnia Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Mccarthy came on in the derby and kicked arse. Looked fit and was making a difference. Absolutely no way whatsoever he should have been sold with the state of our midfield with schneiderlin and gana. We've needed him. It's like blaming the owner of a car for not selling it cos a driver of another car went into it when it was parked on the road. It never broke down.... it was working fine.

Bill Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 He always looks fit, until he gets injured again on a regular basis, we would have got a decent fee for him two weeks ago now he's worth nowt, nobody will buy him. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Put your egos away guys, MJB is only saying what most have been saying for two seasons. .. get him fit and get a fee for him. I don’t think he is blaming James for getting his leg broke, he is just simply repeating what most have been saying in the McCarthy thread for a long time. I really doubt he is talking about this injury in isolation but simply MCCarthys long, long, long injury history. I feel sick for James, I really do. The lad has had the most devastating last few years. Its a massive loss for us as well, as he looked to he he player we know he can be. We dont have anyone else like him. With McCarthy and Coleman, we lost a huge dose of Irish-spirit. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to neg you on that one, Mark. McCarthy broke his leg because he gave his all to stop a goal - demonstrating the kind of passion we sorely need. How can you blame him for that? He deserves respect, not criticism for being "always injured." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just for the record, he had virtually no injury record before joining Everton. You can't blame someone for suffering injuries any more than you can blame someone for getting sick. That's the luck of the draw. One other thing to mention is that McCarthy will now miss the World Cup, likely his only opportunity to play in that event. This must be devastating for him.
