named on the bench against Lincoln
Printable View
Would've hoped for a start at this stage, especially against this calibre of opposition.
On the bench tonight.
Unused sub. Looks like he needs a loan move (at the very least).
McCarthy being allowed to leave will probably come down to Idrissa Gueye leaving or not.Quote:

Can't see him getting much game time for the rest of the season. Silva seems quite stubborn when it comes to team selection.Quote:

Yeah that seems to be the situation. Some comments from Silva here. Basically, we don't want him to leave in case we have an injury crisis.Quote:

McCarthy was key to getting us to Euro 2016 and although he played poorly in the opening two games, he was important against Italy to get us into the knockouts. He is vital for us in the next campaign, especially if Rice isn’t involved. Really hope he can get back into a team full time. He’s quality.Quote:

Well I suppose st least he is fit and hasn't picked up hamstring issues on his return. Hopefully we take him to the camp in Portugal and have him round the squad in June. I think he was supposed to come over for the last games but his wife had their babyQuote:

If James had been fit I think we would have went to Russia. The players are starting to suck desiel now. Can't wait for Denmark
If he could get a run of games he is so important to us and still relatively young. He will have had over a year to work consistently on his hamstring rehab which will have been a major advantage of recovering from his horrid fracture
McCarthy needs to get his future sorted out - https://www.irishexaminer.com/breaki...hy-922547.html
Glad to see Mick rates him as one of our best players at least.
Fabian Delph signed - McCarthy falling even further down the pecking order at Everton, but he did play in their friendly against Sion at the weekend.
Worryingly, I haven't heard/read anything about his future this summer.
He badly needs to get out of there for our sake! Tricky one though, he's probably on good money and his injury record makes him a very risky purchase. A loan deal might be the best bet all round, there was speculation Newcastle might be interested but nothing too credible.
Crystal Palace have just bid £8 million for him according to Sky Sports News. James should jump at this opportunity.
Have a feeling he'll end up at NewcastleQuote:

Looks like PSG are going to sign Gueye now. Not sure if that will affect any potential McCarthy sale.Quote:

Signs for Palace. Reunited with his tribute act James McArthur.
Edit - don't think this is actually 100% confirmed yet but still looks likely to happen.
That's the piece of luck we needed. McCarthy is our only proper holding midfielder. Whelo has a heart of a lion but isn't good enough. James is
Transfer to Crystal Palace confirmed - https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/aug...crystal-palace
I read somewhere the fee was 3 million. He could turn out to be the bargain of the season
Best of luck to him.
Can anyone remember back to his emergence at Hamilton Academical? I just keep wondering when reality will eventually match the early hype around one of our players...
I still remember his debut for Hamilton, I read it in one of the old “Irish” shorts sections in the Sunday Times, as youngest player to make debut in Scottish league, think he was in first division then. But when I saw him play he never struck me as going to be a star, rather a pretty solid midfielderQuote:

He always played with a maturity and cautiousness that belied his age. Almost to his detriment, I think. He’ll be a real Hodson stalwart if he can regain fitness. His teams are coached and disciplined to the nth degree. But McCarthy will just be a ‘vanilla’ player for the remainder of his career, for better or worse.
Interesting point. It could be viewed that playing over 200 Premier League games and playing a few years with a top 6/7 side is actually delivering on the hype, these days anyway, given how few of our players even achieve that.Quote:
