The comparison is not between Arter now and McCarthy now, it's obviously between Arter now and McCarthy back then (as that's when you used do all your ranting about McCarthy pulling out of squads despite not being really injured, the implication being that he was being controlled by his club and manager).
Btw... with regards the McCarthy of today, did Everton actually object this time? I only heard Koeman saying this:
Despite the war of words previously and Koeman believing McCarthy was overloaded last time he played for us, that's an acceptance, not an objection. Obviously he'd prefer if his player was wrapped in cotton wool but what objections from Everton/Koeman are you referring to this time?Originally Posted by Ronald Koeman
Eddie Howe, on the other hand, said this about Arter's prospect of making the Wales game?
Far more dismissive of Arter's chances I'm sure even you'll agree?Originally Posted by Eddie Howe
