James McCarthy

[RamiCFC9 258]

Oh cmon in Sunderland Henderson was better then him and look now.

I think we should have a look at him in January, it's known we're following him for some time (there was rumours about a £10m offer last year).

We got a more promising player than Hulk in Moses. I really think we could do the same deal with McCarthy who's a more interesting option than Fellaini (for what we need, for the way we play etc...)

McCarthy has often been acknowledged as an all round midfielder, good to recover the ball but quite "continental" in his playing style.

As usual with your posts there is that one word that I have no idea what you mean by

But I rate McCarthy quite a lot as well and think he can do even better with a higher caliber of players around him. Think it's about time he made a switch to a better side than Wigan (no offence to Wigan)

[Liquidator 5,176]

We won't sign him

but if he was from Brazil and called Carthinio we would be bidding in excess of £20m for him

Good shout SeB, but because of the point Liquidator just made.. It'll never actually take place. Such is the tragedy of the situation.

Usually the briton (never knew how to spell that, from UK) midfielder tends to be a box to box or rely on runs with or without the ball. McCarthy is much more of the Carrick/Josh type, not particulary the ones who are made to flourish in UK whereas there's plenty of MFs elsewhere in Europe who tend to have the same abilities than them.

McCarthy doesn't carries the ball that much, he's in "pass, ask, pass" mood most of the time. Always available, good vision and good execution to deliver the pass he saw. That's something we find in continental Europe.

A bit off topic but considering I'm french but I'm blinkered with English football, I'm always bemused to see that the concept of box to box midfielder isn't something evident for a lot of people in France. There's also a clear issue with shooting from distance in France by example, we see that from grassroots to the very top level, players don't shoot from outside the box...

Or if he was English. English players are gods compared to Irish, Northern Irish, Welsh and Scottish footballers.

ENGLAND!

British.

I am from Britain.

I am British.

I am a Brit / Britisher / Briton.

That should cover it.

Said it before and I'll say it again. We should sign him. Hes better than most people think.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Never payed a lot of attention to him but will keep an eye on him from now.

[OneMoSalah 8,614]

Was very impressed with him today against Arsenal.He completed 54 out of 63 passes (86% completion ratio). He also won 5 out of the 6 tackles he attempted today and completed 3 out of the 5 take ons he tried. Also made one interception.

What app is that?

Its not an app its the match center on Squawka. Just used Gyazo or whatever it is called to get the images.

Wigan's James McCarthy is a man most wanted - with Chelsea and Arsenal considering summer move

[Beepu 1,714]

Would be an interesting player to look at, seems quite solid and is homegrown.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Yes, pleaaase! I really like this guy. Great passing and technical ability and excellent work rate.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I like him. But this is Wigan. They'll add another £10 million to his actual worth.

But, in all fairness, do we really need him? He'll be a bit part player at best next season if we sign him. He's better off going elsewhere.

[Special Juan 27,103]

This has Arsenal written all over it, let him go there, he isn't good enough for us.
