Far too much to pay for this kind of player! Joke!

Only 10m. still without HG. is too expensive. 16.5m. forget it dude.

We don't have that kind of money. I don't see why it is so difficult for people to understand that

How does that tie in with what is stated on the official club website: "Roberto Martinez has not ruled out further summer arrivals at Everton but is vowing to take his time while he continues to assess the areas of his squad that need strengthening. "
A move by Monday is hardly taking his time.

16. 5 is wayyyyyy over the top

Don't understand why we would want to spend so much money on him, he's a very good player but that's silly money. If we are going to smash our transfer record then please be on a proven goalscorer.

It says on the os that Martinez NOT ruling out further additions

8.) 19 Jul 2013
It will be staggered payments and add ons. Cool your beans

If this rumour is true I wonder how many other Evertonians think we are being had I think for the sort of money being mentioned we could scour Europe and find as good or even better or get a centre mid and a winger for that sort of money would be interested to hear the thoughts of my fellow blues maybe I need to be convinced that I half not given the lad a fair write up and o could be completely wrong.

I accept that RM is NOT ruling out additions - I'm just commenting that a move for McCarthy by Monday seems to contradict the manager's remarks about taking time to assess the current squad before making any moves.

I wouldn't pay over 6 million for him. I hope to god these rumours are untrue (I strongly suspect they are) because to blow anything over 6 million on him will be a disaster. He is nowhere near a 10 million pound player.

James mc is a top class young player a current international and a future star anything above 10 million will be performance related and staged
