How did he play?
Folding my way into the big money!!!
I'm i mental to think he will ever play for us again?
When fit ( which is rare).him and cullen would work well. Especially against top tier teams
sadly i dont think mccarthy is able to play for us anymore. injury record is awful and given his age it would probably shorten his club career. regardless, he seems to have struggled with celtic and they look a lot worse when hes on the pitch. himself and cullen would be a poor enough match imo
Injury-blighted McCarthy on his way out of Celtic, according to Brendan Rodgers.
‘He will be looking to move on’ - Brendan Rodgers confirms Celtic exit for James McCarthy | Independent.ie
"He will be looking to move on" is likely code for "we're desperate to ship him out" in this case. Ange wanted him gone 18 months ago, Rodgers wants him gone now. McCarthy might be quite happy where he is though - one way to avoid being out injured is if you're not getting picked anyway.
If I were him, I wouldn't take a penny less than the full amount owed to him over the next two seasons. Interesting to see that he's been linked with a side in MLS.
As bizarre as it sounds, he may be able to make something similar or more on his next deal -- and if he has guarantees to that effect, maybe he'll take that opportunity.
I will say MLS is definitely the wrong league for him to go to though. There are technical deficiencies among many players but it's a physical league.
I know he's injuries were a disaster for his career progression. But I don't think he gets nearly enough credit for what he did and was part of.
For Wigan there is no FA cup win without James.
for us, we don't go to euro 2016 without James McCarthy in that qualification campaign and we don't get into the 16 in that competition without him either
He didn't show up at Celtic Park anyway.
Sorry, I meant against Scotland in the Euro 2016 qualifiers - can see how that wasn't clear though!
Yes remember him standing out in the Germany win. It's too bad his career has been so stunted by injuries but Diggs246 is right to point out some of those moments when James was fit -- he was quality on his day. Would be great if he could put together a season or two of healthy football at any level at this point.
Given he seemed to have a decent enough time with Crystal Palace, wonder if Hodgson would take him back on a short term deal.
