Now according to sky we are after James McCarthy and may be willing to offer Tom cleverly in exchange. Well McCarthy is undoubtedly a talented player, not world class by any means but he is very talented and is still young! Hopefully we do bring him in as he is a lot better than any midfielder we currently have

Everton will charge us through the nose for him. Not really what we need if we are honest.


2.) 23 May 2014
So, instead of the next Paul Scholes (Kroos), we are now after the next Carrick.


3.) 23 May 2014
Hardly the kind of buy which suggests huge ambition though he is competent enough and might improve greatly. With competitors stronger anyway and improving their squads we do need a very special window this time.

Bond will love this

Roberto will want 25 30 mill, but can't see him leting him go, if u beleive the press everton will have no players next season


6.) 23 May 2014
Wouldn't read into this what so ever, not going to happen.
yes he player well last year, but he is one of those players who look good at a smaller club but cannot cut it at a bigger club

{Ed007's Note - Absolute nonsense, McCarthy has raised his game to meet every challenge since he was a young teenager getting kicked up and down the lower leagues in Scotland. He would offer more to the Utd midfield than Fellaini has or Cleverley ever will. You would probably give him a chance if his name was McCarthio and was commanding a £40m fee. McCarthy would bring an energy and tenacity to the Utd midfield that has been missing since Keane left.}

I agree with bond I wanted him last summer ahead of fellaini. Cracking little player full of energy and a tidy passer.

James McCarthy is the best young prospect in midfield in the Premiership - and has steadily improved since his start at Hamilton Academicals. Not saying we still shouldn't be bringing in a big name but this guy would be a fabulous signing.


9.) 23 May 2014
Well I said it was the sky season but some of this stuff is beyond silly. He is nowhere good enough for United and you lot need to stop posting this rubbish.


10.) 23 May 2014
I agree with Bond. I'm Scottish and have been watching McCarthy since he was at Hamilton. He is a very good player, maybe not at the same level as Kroos but he is a better player than all of our CM's perhaps with exception of Carrick but he wasn't great last year either. In my opinion he will do brilliantly if he joins us, brings plenty of energy to our midfield which we need.

Neither is 80% of our midfield currently at united good enough, But here's hoping to an eventful summer and if we do sign McCarthy then I for one will be happy to see him replace half the SP we have at United.

With the right guidance, This guy can become a rock in midfield that we have missed and if he has WC players around him he will flourish.


12.) 23 May 2014
Ed007. How exactly is that nonsense? If you read what was written, it cannot be disagreed with.
There has been MANY players who stand out at smaller clubs but cannot perform at bigger ones.
Fellaini, Carroll, Robbie Keane, Dempsey, Adam Johnson, Diouf.
Same goes for managers, Allerdice (when went to Newcastle), Di Canio, Redknapp, AVB, Moyes.
I bet your a Moyes fan, than would explain your weak opinion!
Not sure what your getting at with referring to with a £40m signing of an unknown, again no logic with that remark.

{Ed007's Note - Read it back yourself, if there is any functioning brain matter in there you'll see yourself it's nonsense. I done you a service by telling you so nicely. I bet you're a Chuckles Brothers fan, that would explain a hell of a lot!}


13.) 23 May 2014
Acceptable to play in the three man midfield if say a Kroos is bought


14.) 23 May 2014
Bond how dare you, the chuckle brothers are the only thing us rotherhamer's have

@Ed007

If McCarthy would cost 15-20mil I would take him over the overpriced Carvalho for sure.

I agree, he would offer more than Cleverley or Fellaini, but they are hardly the standards to go by.

Fabregas and McCarthy could make a good partnership for next season.

{Ed007's Note - Of course Fellaini and Cleverley are the standards to go by, they are the current standard of Utd player so McCarthy is a marked improvement.}


16.) 23 May 2014
We're Man Utd! What the hell are we doing year after being linked with the best then getting good premier league players that suit mid table sides, I'm not listening to one more rumour with any hope, totally sick of being linked with players we obviously need then ending up with nothing

He is an above average PL midfielder and not what you go out and buy when you are trying to rebuild to challenge for Europe and PL.

His stats for assists and goals are terrible and if you wanted a busy body to run around and offer some combativeness in midfield there are about 50 out there, but not what you rebuild with.


18.) 23 May 2014
Spot on gcu I am with you on this one we can't be messing around with our transfers this year. We need proven quality or else we will be discussing this again same time next year .

Without a doubt their are more skillful players who would do a great job for plenty of money. something we have failed to do for many seasons. I don't expect any shock this summer either.

My point about mccarthy is that he is a dam sight better than wiggy and clev.

Im all up for rebuilding the squad. I just hope its not built on cast offs or lower tier players. it will take yrs to get the youth up to speed therfore we need quality and we need it now


20.) 25 May 2014
GCU his stats for goals and assists?.He's a defensive mid and he's far from average.Also Everton will not sell and stop believing all the crap in the papers.
