what is the point in this?

Apparently when he was asked why he made the switch he mumbled something about Trapattoni sipping Martinis by the pool and Andy Reid.

I'm calling shenanigans on this, link to an actual report, or it never happened

Not a particularly funny joke. That said, would like him to get a full cap in a competitive match and move on from this discussion.

Good news, James came on as a first half sub at home to Newcastle. It's just about ten weeks to the day since Martinez predicted the recovery would take 8-10 weeks.

**gally** · 02/01/2011, 4:32 PM

that was McCarthur not our own James...

**Sullivinho** · 02/01/2011, 5:35 PM

Two ex-Hamilton midfield Mc's at Wigan - won't be the last time someone mixes those two up.

Your not the only one to mix it up, the bbc website text of the match initially said James Mc Carthy as well, thought it was a bit soon but cant be too long more before he is back in action.

would I be right in saying that Tom Cleverly has played in McCarthys position while hes been injured? Cleverly is very highly rated at Old Trafford so a comparison between the 2 of them might give us a little bit more of an idea how good McCarthy is

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/01/2011, 10:19 PM

He's been playing wide left anytime I've seen him.

Not sure if he's that highly rated, think they feel he is going to be a decent premiership player and no more. I heard Ferguson was at the game, could be to watch El-Habsi more than anything else.

Ferguson has already talked about recalling him from the loan for the rest of the season.Hes done very very well in preseason for United in the last couple of seasons so I do think they think he has a chance of making it there

JAMES McCARTHY is still waiting for an apology from Bolton star Fabrice Muamba.

I thought it was Ridgewell from Birmingham that took him out?

Guess that would explain why no apology was forthcoming from Muamba.

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/01/2011, 11:53 PM

Nah, the Ridgewell thing was a minor clash a couple of months earlier. It as Muamba who injured him properly against Bolton.

A minor thing cause James did not get injured, thankfully. It was a horror tackle

McCarthy only weeks away from a return

Hopefully he'll be fit to play some part in the match against Wales.
