McAleny gone to Wigan on loan. Is Bobby loaning out all of our 'Mc's' in this window?!
01 Feb 2016 22:38:48
Aye let's hope so, be good to get McCarthy out for someone who can pass the ball.
01 Feb 2016 22:53:32
We need a replacement for back pass Barry not mc Carthy.
01 Feb 2016 23:35:39
Long term yes, we have Besic for Barry. No need to replace McCarthy, just pluck any midfielder who runs a lot and you can replace McCarthy, don't need to have much ability on the ball, in fact, most goalkeepers have more ability on the ball than McCarthy.
02 Feb 2016 00:17:37
Looks like now that McGeady is gone your number one target for exaggerated comments is McCarthy.
Whenever McCarthy is playing in a consistent amount of games Everton go on a good run. Coincidence? Maybe, be interesting to see when he gets back if the team improves. Imho his movement off the ball makes Everton more solid. Doesn't necessarily have to have the ball to benefit the team.
02 Feb 2016 00:46:26
Dear Swan. How on earth can you slate Barkley and McCarthy? 2 of our most important players in my opinion! Next you'll be wanting rid of Lukaku or Deulofeu - "Oooh we've been offered a bag of peanuts, i'll drive them there myself", - a familiar barb eh. Show some support for us for once will you!
02 Feb 2016 00:47:28
Not true, was in the team when at our worst last season. Name one thing I've said that's exaggerated about McGeady.
02 Feb 2016 02:02:20
He can play football.
02 Feb 2016 02:08:07
Haha Swan, that's good enough for me you don't even realise yourself that you've made plenty of exaggerated comments about McGeady. Not a good signing by any means but doesn't deserve the slagging he gets.
Wish him the best with SW. Hope he helps them push up the table.
02 Feb 2016 02:20:15
So last season was a bad season for McCarthy? Would love to see him having a good season then.
1,172 passes last season. Third highest in the premiership. Behind only Fabregasc and Matic I think. 85% pass completion and 72% of passes were forward passes. Won 60% of the tackles he was involved in.
Well if that's McCarthy having a bad season. Roll on to a good. Very good value at £13m imho.
02 Feb 2016 02:25:30
As do I NBTB, what exaggerated comments have I made? You have a chance here to take me to task and you don't want to. Explain what comments I've made that are exaggerated? Some on here think he's the worst player to ever wear the shirt, I won't go that far but he's up there. He's a dreadful dreadful player, what am I "exaggerating" on? What have I said about him that's simply untrue or exaggerated.
WorcesterEFC, never, Rom is a brilliant player who scores goals for fun, Geri is the same but with assists, he doesn't mess up his final ball every time he gets a chance and despite his build actually gets bullied LESS than Ross. McCarthy doesn't score, assist, win the ball or defend, he's basically Jack Rodwell, offers nothing on the pitch, he's a myth. Ross, I've gone on about him all the time, he doesn't seem to be improving anything and hasn't in 3 seasons. Geri and Rom have improved so much in the last 3 MONTHS.
02 Feb 2016 02:49:48
My bad actually 1,178 passes last season. All other stats correct and that was only in 28 games!
02 Feb 2016 03:52:18
Goal assists record?
02 Feb 2016 06:20:42
Assists? Are you mad? He's a cdm! I think your losing it swan!
02 Feb 2016 07:24:58
Nothing wrong with McArthy, you need to watch the guy week in week out. He and Besic are the future partnership away from home at home though I would just play Besic. Incidentally with the new guy I would love to see us go back to 4 4 2, looks an excellent replacement for Naismith and Kone but let's see how he adapts.
02 Feb 2016 07:55:10
After reading a few different post and the replies, I think it's safe to say Swan was on the ale last night. In Jimmy Mac, we have his new target to talk nonsense about. Don't let stats cloud your biased opinion eh :)
02 Feb 2016 08:01:57
Wow not just what's wrong with our club but football in general. Get behind your players for a start. Every team needs a player like McCarthy, I remember carsley you'd think for 70 mins what has he done all game he'd get subbed and the teams shape would go, players like this are the unsung heroes of any team and you can't name a quality side without a player like this but those who don't understand never will not everything has to be street football and look like champagne football sometimes the simple possession pass to the player who can is the best option maybe he knows he can't so cleverly gives to who can gets back to position and tells players when to go and when to come back? Nah your right he's crap.
02 Feb 2016 09:44:34
Swan, McCarthy may not be the best passer of the ball or be the best at getting assists and as you quite rightly state you could replace McCarthy with anyone that will run forever closing down the opposition and breaking up their attacks. When you find someone as good as McCarthy at doing that then let RM know i'm sure he will want to sign him. IMO having either McCarthy or Besic on the park really helps our defence out with the way they both close down the oposition. having both on the park at the same time would be very useful IMO.
02 Feb 2016 12:10:06
Sorry lads, had to get away from Jim White last night, don't rate McCarthy but I pulled this out of nowhere to have a go, need to put a passcode on my account or something to stop me going on here when I've had too much stella.
02 Feb 2016 12:11:40
Third highest passes in the premiership last season with an 85% pass completion! Are some people nuts then saying he can't pass the ball? That was in 28 games. What do people expect? 60% rate in winning tackles and you say he can't tackle Swan.
Usual from you, once you make a decision about someone no matter what your right. As for pointing out what you said that was exaggerated about McGeady. Do you seriously think I have nothing better to be doing than going back and checking exactly what you said about McGeady.
You said plenty that was exaggerated about him. I didn't write it down and am not going looking for exactly what you said.
I'm not the only who said McCarthy is your new player to pick on. I wonder is it because they are both Irish? I kinda see where your coming from with some of your comments about McGeady but McCarthy? As someone said you were on the ale last night.
Sadly I know you weren't and its your honest opinion.
02 Feb 2016 13:11:55
So it's not true I made exaggerated comments then, you "not being bothered" means it didn't happen. Did have a few to drink last night and this wasn't the right time or post to mention McCarthy but yeah this is my honest opinion on him.
I love how it's a "new player to pick on" despite you yourself saying it's my honest opinion on him, this indicates I've "picked on him" before McGeady went. Howard, Baines, Stones, Coleman, McCarthy, McGeady, Kone and Ross, which one is the one I pick on? Or is it just I happen to see them as not all very good, in fact none are very good, or is it I have personal vendetta against all of them, no I will go with the former.
Neither McGeady or McCarthy are Irish mate.
02 Feb 2016 15:17:44
Whatever you say Swan. Never said I wasn't bothered. Your a master at twisting things on here Swan. Regular thing I see people say when posting a reply to you. As I said Swan its not that 'i'm not bothered' to check what you said.
It's totally that I have far better and more important things to be doing with my time. What's the story? Do you think I've nothing better to be doing than on here all day every day and to check back on your comments? I'm happy in myself and don't have to prove myself to you Swan.
Your a master as twisting things. actually, no, your a master at only seeing and reading things whatever comes into your head first. Example, me say that I have better things to be doing than looking up your previous comments. Your take on it 'i couldn't be bothered'.
Some people see that as twisting things. You being lazy and only coming to your assumption is what I'd call it. There's a lot more to this site than just your take on things Swan.
As I said before everyone is entitled to their opinion here as that's what its all about. Don't see many totally jumping to their own conclusions though.
02 Feb 2016 15:47:06
Still got nothing on McGeady then mate, I'd say you're the one twisting things, proud you're happy with yourself not providing evidence for your point, I take that as you being lazy.
02 Feb 2016 15:52:49
McCarthy and McGeady are not Irish? Haha Swan, thank you for the laughs. Yes I know they were born in Scotland but who do they play for? Emmm, Ireland! So they are not Irish. Yea right, think both of them might have something to say about that.
Could of played for Scotland but no, they chose to play for Ireland because they are not Irish. Makes sense Swan.
02 Feb 2016 16:16:45
Yea right Swan. As I said I haven't time to go looking for your comments so its just not going to happen. Yea I'm lazy doing other stuff as I have a life outside this website.
Have a nice day Swan.
02 Feb 2016 16:17:38
Nb don't let him wind you up lad he's on here everyday looking for someone to wind up its easy to fall for it but it's also easy to tear him apart my best advice for anyone on here is never ever respond to anything he ever says I'm sure he will get board troll another site it plainly obvious he leads a sad lonely life we can all see its sh&@e what he's saying mate.
02 Feb 2016 16:25:46
Thank you Blueliam. I know exactly what your saying. Think I'm going to have a mini break from here. Just for a couple of hours anyway. I really enjoy this site but it takes up too much of my time as it is.
The Mrs does be nagging me about being on it the whole time. Don't know who is worse. Her or Swan? 😃.
02 Feb 2016 17:14:10
NBTB Mcgeady does deserve the slagging he gets only because, in one word he's crap. Case closed.
02 Feb 2016 18:43:54
Jimmy mc doesn't tho.
02 Feb 2016 18:46:56
Yea right jimmy c.
04 Feb 2016 20:09:23
Lol all rubbish swan :)
