James mCCathy deal agreed he favours a move to Everton over spurs

No more wigan players please. It's turning us into a laughing stock and surely RM can see that it is making him look stupid too. Personally I would just raid la liga for players. Even average players like Michu make a big impact in the prem. They are so far ahead technically and are much better value for money.

Why is it turning us into a laughing stock because we are buying a relegated teams best players when leeds were relegated and everyone swooped on their best players where they all laughing stocks too martinez knows these wigan players better than anyone and if he thinks they will improve us then I trust his judgement

He's taken 2 of their best players, and potentially a 3rd. Nothing wrong with that, Mccarthy is rated highly and is young

I don't agree that it's making the club or the manager a laughing stock.
Besides, raiding La Liga means bringing more non-homegrown players into our squad and we're restricted on how many (no more than 17 non-homegrown players aged over 21 in the registered squad of 25 players - with no limit on players aged 21 or under) just as every Premier League club is.

Get of his back and give the guy a chance!

Macarthy is the new Roy keane you watch him over the next few years he is starting to boss the midfield

Mc carty is a class act. physical and a great passer and touch. rm stated when he was 18 yrs old he was first name on team sheet and it remained that way up until he left. i'm doubtful if any of the other wigan signings will do the biz. maybe the keeper will turn out ok but if we land mc carty he will walk straight into team and remain there easy pea sy.

Sorry but he won't walk into the Everton team. He can the Wigan team but not Evertons. I also agree that he's buying too many Wigan players and should be looking elsewhere with that sort of money. Don't get me wrong iv seen McCarthy play and he's a good player but how many other good players are out there. Raiding Wigan of 4 is lazy in my opinion

McCarthy is a very good player and would strengthen our squad significantly. The other players improve the sqaud and will compete for a place in the first team. We have a small sqaud. We needed more players to compete for places and RM has done this with about 6.5 million (4 players, decent players) That is not a laughing stock, that is very good bussiness. Wigan got relegated due to the weak links, but did have some good players. Kone scored more goals than any of our strikers. Alcaraz, we need another CB and he would be a decent 4th choice CB. Robles, good young keeper, back-up, competition, and a future 1st team GK. McCarthy- what we need. It doesn't matter were they come from, its what they can bring the team. Such criticism stems from narrow mindedness.

I don't agree he's ' what we need ' at all mate. We have Gibbo and Fellaini who can both play in that sort of position and that's why I reckon this McCarthy rumours a stinker anyway. You wait, it won't happen. and we'll end up spending that sort of money much more wisely.

Evertonmarc he took 3 with a potential 4. Just because Robles was on loan is besides the point. He was still a wigan player.

Few sites saying we've bid for McCarthy of Wigan, £13.5m.

I hope not!!

10m. is reasonable for his performance+HG.

Brilliant!

I would say they are drunk Mike, nothing will happen now until after the US tour

Yes so everyone else can snap theses players up that's why we have to sign them now

Don't think he is worth anywhere near that sorry, and I don't rate him all that good, I'm sure there is more CM out there who are better for the same price

Simple fact is that an overseas player of the same quality would be half the price.

Don't think he's worth that much but it's not as big a rip-off as some of the deals done across the park the last few years. If this deal happened without anyone leaving to finance it, I'd be happy enough.

Diame half the price and twice the player
