Iamryanstover Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I wouldnt mind having either player at a decent price, but this is that typical shit you read whenever a team with decent players gets relegated. Really it all comes down to what type of wages a given player is on, and Mcmanamen is going to demand a large transfer fee because he is a homegrown English player Quinn31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Håkon Andre Elvheim Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would rader have Maccarthy than Macmanaman, macmanaman would be a winger left/rigth and i'm happy with Pienaar/Mirallas/Coleman Hoof_It_Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would like McCarthy if Wigan don't want an outrageous amount of money. Hopefully his familiarity with Martinez can convince him to pick us over Spurs if we do go in for him. And McManaman is definitely more skilled than your average English winger in the Lennon/Walcott mould: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYvHJ8U5F90 McManaman is a local lad too which will probably please fans, it would be quite a step up for him and he would be moving to his former team and former manager (probably) so it's an attractive move for him.

Cornish Steve Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Nice video. It's unfortunate that McManaman made that rash tackle against Newcastle, because he was immediately branded the bad guy. It's a sign of his quality that he didn't let the pressure of bad publicity get to him. Instead, he developed into one of Wigan's best players as the season drew to a close. His true ability was on display for all to see in the FA Cup Final. Edited June 4, 2013 by Cornish Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I don't want him. Mirallas, Pienaar and Coleman are good enough. If we were going to get someone I want to get someone who has had more than one good season. Do you think if Martinez got hired last season we would have signed McClean from Sunderland as he had a stormer? This season he has played avarage.

Do you think if Martinez got hired last season we would have signed McClean from Sunderland as he had a stormer? This season he has played avarage. Coleman is our starting right back, not a winger. Mirallas and Pienaar are two players for two positions. And I don't see how McClean and how good he is or isn't is in any way relevant to how good McManaman could be.

Romey 1878 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 If we had two from Wigan I would prefer Maloney & Kone Maloney shouldn't be considered purely because of his age, IMO. Wouldn't be fussed either way about Kone. McCarthy is the single player I would be ecstatic for us to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Both Maloney and Koné are decent players, but they're 30 and 29 respectively and I don't want us to pay transfer fees for players that age. McCarthy and McManaman are both 22 years old, they still have lots of room for improvement and they could still be sold for a profit someday. If we go for Wigan players, I hope it's them. Martinez' comments about the transfer market being global is pretty reassuring to me that we're not just going to get whomever did a decent job for Wigan this season.

JoeQuince Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 If we had two from Wigan I would prefer Maloney & Kone You're high. McCarthy and possibly McManaman are basically the only ones worthy of consideration. I'd be alright with Kone for depth. But, we've got depth at striker. We need a starting striker more than anything. Kone isn't worthy. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like the look of the lad, he is local, Deffo has fire in his belly and could be a great player. What's the asking price?? £3m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead right about the transfer fees for Maloney and Kone but the same applies to the two Mc's. I wouldn't want to have my pants pulled down just because they are only 22 when neither, but possibly McCarthy may do more so than McManaman who we've let go once, will justify their price.

BlueBlood81 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 If we had two from Wigan I would prefer Maloney & Kone They are the two I definitly wouldn't want to be honest. Maloney, as said already because of his age and Kone because he would cost £6.5m and isn't that good. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maloney, as said already because of his age and Kone because he would cost £6.5m and isn't that good. As said above, I agree with the fee thing for Maloney & Kone. I wouldn't pay above £2-3m for either. If your valuation of Kone is £6.5m how much are the 22 year old McCarthy & McManaman going to be? We could all get a surprise and end up with Boyce, Scharner and Figueroa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 MCmanaman is raw and fucking exciting if Felli goes for £23 plus id buy Fer,Macca and Astu or Ince and get a forward with the money we have spare Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainaar Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 We had the second oldest team this season behind Fulham so we shouldn't be looking at Maloney we need to tone down the age of the squad whilst also bringing in quality. Buying 29 year olds is wasting your money you won't get as much use out of him and he has none or very little sell on value certainly not enough to make a handsome profit in any form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 It certainly is believable. If I were Mcmanaman Everton would be my choice, a manager that I trusted, a club I grew up at, local, opportunity to get game time. Haggling over a price - definately. It's on like Donkey Kong!

StevO Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 There is truth in talks with McManaman, but probably not as far along as being made out as he is currently in Vegas. Still a little upset about how he believes he was treated when Everton let him go, but as its a hell of a lot different to the set up then it shouldn't be an issue.
