DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I like Bacon, him and Bunn together are a mouthwatering prospect.
I'm not sure why McCarthy is being touted as a replacement for Fellaini. He's 'not that type of player' in more than one sense.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly bit like replacing Peter Crouch with Wes Hoolahan.
But there must be some truth in in because James was photographed doing a trial at Everton.

Can't believe you were caught by that spoofer TC. Here's the real Mac...
Sweet Jesus!!!
Having a good first half against Arsenal. Looks comfortable on the ball. Commentators were saying that he was named as a centre back in the starting lineup but seems to be playing as a holding midfielder. Martinez has obviously told him not to go forward. He was leading a breakaway there a minute ago, had Arsenal under pressure, when he reached the halfway line he passed it off to Stam and started running backwards.
I thought he looked classy throughout. An Audi A5 coupe rather than a Bentley, quality but not flash.
McCarthy, O'Brien, Coleman, Hoolahan and Long are all playing encouragingly well. All should be starters for Ireland and if you add in Gibson then that's 6 players playing very well in the EPL at the moment.
Edit: add Ciaran Clark to that list.

I can't wait for the day when Trap plays all 6 on the left wing in the same game.
Agreed. And Pilkington too. Sadly though with Trap, about as much chance of as a real Santa Claus...
Sweet Jesus! It's a traffic light with a face!!Can't believe you were caught by that spoofer TC. Here's the real Mac...
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

After watching Liverpool tonight and how Gerrard is living on his reputation as being a great player in the past, I'm convinced McCarthy will end up there. He's the nearest thing I've seen to a younger Gerrard in the English game, especially when he's given the licence to get forward which is rare at Wigan.
The big question is whether Rodgers has the balls to drop Gerrard, which I wouldn't be sure about. McCarthy is head and shoulders above the Henderson's and Shelvey's of this world so I think he'd walk into their team. Everton might be a better move for him though, as it's a far more stable place for a young talented player.
Does McCarthy have the capacity to break forward and score goals like Gerrard does? I'm a big fan but I'm not convinced he is that type of player.
I agree with you that this is the one attribute that he hasn't shown on a consistent basis. I do think he has this in his locker though and I would say that much of the reason for him not getting more goals is the fact that he is told not to go too far forward by Martinez. To be fair, I think Wigan have been great for his development, but I do think if he is to reach his talent, he needs to move to a big club in the summer.
McCarthy included on the BBC's top 50 players who could move this winter. Surprisingly, it says he's already turned down Liverpool twice - I don't recall this.

"The Scot"
He is a scot though! He simply plays international football for Ireland...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
