Blues make McCarthy move

Well then allow me to say that I for one think he should prove an excellent signing for us. Would by lying if I didn't own up to some concern at his poor spell at Galway but he's proven before what he can do.

i think his poor spell at Galway had a lot to do with the fact that he just couldnt make it onto the team. There was always about 5 or 6 fighting for the 2 places up front and come June when David O'Dowd and Damien Dupuy got together, there was very few times this partnership was split up for the rest of the season.....

plus he had no pace whatsoever and couldn't hardly kick the ball when he did come on!
