    Interesting comparison of James McCarthy and Michael Carrick: http://www.eplindex.com/epl-news/353...omparison.html

    there's been a few overnight rumours of Spurs and Everton making bids for him, but nothing concrete
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    I bet Martinez is sorry now he got James to sign a new contract with Wigan last year as it has upped his transfer fee. I don't think any Wigan fans expect McCarthy to be still with them on 1st September but you have to admire the way he goes about his business. No mouthing off to the press (i.e. Kone) about wanting to leave and deeming himself too good to play in the Championship. He's just quietly going about his business like a proper professional (has already scored twice for Wigan on their US tour, and one from a header ). If Baines and/or Fellini are sold expect Martinez to use money to come back for McCarthy otherwise I'm not sure where he will end up.

    A lot of talk and nothing happening, ive been wondering this for a long time now, I doubt there are any serious contenders, his best bet would be everton, but it could be mid to lower table, or even no one at all.

    If you were Spurs, would you pay 20m for him?

    Those stats are interesting. Without comparing them to anything, 2.6 tackles per game seems like nothing!

    It doesn't seem like a lot really, but I'd be comparing it to the level of football I play at (bottom of the barrel) where most people's second touch would be a tackle. Looks like the stats come from the same source as WhoScored.com, which puts James McCarthy 29th overall in number of tackles per game (ahead of players typical described as battling midfielders such as Cheik Tiote).

    Yeah, I just did that table but I'm unsure how/cant be ar$ed to paste a picture

    Also behind Arteta at Nbr 13 with 3.2 tackles per game!!

    True what you saythough. In the professional game, less loose balls, players conserving energy and looking to intercept rather than trying to tackle if there is a lower prob% of success etc..

    They were mentioned at the start of the summer as well. At least his is a name Joe Kinnear can't possibly get wrong. Starts today with new signing Chris McCann on the bench and compatriot Stephen Dawson in the Barnsley midfield.

    At £20 million he must be the most expensive Championship ever!!

    But I am sure he isn't.

    It would be a dream to have James in the same side as Bafetimbi Gomis.

The rumours that the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham were interested in him appeared to be very pie in the sky and the fact he's still playing for Wigan in the Championship seems to confirm this was the case. Even if he did get a move to one of those teams could anyone really see him keeping his place in any of their first teams without a massive improvement?

    Well he's still playing in the Championship because Wigan are holding out for £20 million. Everton have made several bids and Spurs' interest has been confirmed by multiple sources. There's still a month to go in the transfer window.

    Apparently Owen Coyle hasn't even received an inquiry. Surely if there had been bids he would have been notified even if they had been made prior to him taking over.

    Apparently Owen Coyle hasn't had inquiries for any of his players. Presumably that includes the players he's already sold. We can surmise that Owen Coyle is not telling the whole truth.

    There's no way he'll go for £20 million, a bargaining figure surely...

    I'd imagine £15 million is more the craic, depending on how late Everton hold out on selling Fellaini.

    Yeah, they'd surely snap the hand off someone for £15 million. Canny move on Wigan's part getting Chris McCann in too, on a free to boot. Perfect replacement.
