Ed007. Do you have any info on James McCarthy mate? Understandable if you can't/ don't want to given the personal attachment. Or is it just groundhog day with the column filler?

{Ed007's Note -If Ntcham pushes for a move then the Club will step up their pursuit of McCarthy.}

If Ntcham did push for the move, is it really a position we would need to bring another player in for? CM has been sublime in that position and with Christie and rogic, as well as the new signings being able to slot in further forward, surely we could use the money to invest in a new cb? Possibly benkovic? Or another cb proven at a decent level? What are your thoughts Ed?

{Ed007's Note - I'm not getting into another McCarthy debate mate, there's nothing I can say that I haven't said during every previous window for years.}

I was really impressed with Ntcham last season and thought he 'had the lot' as far as midfield players go; but he has really disappointed this season - and I know the Dembele situation was a catalyst - but his attitude and performances have been lacking.
It's a shame because he could have been a star here, but like so many seems to see us as a stepping stone to bigger and brighter?
However, few actually fulfill their ambitions and end up journeymen.
I would worry about McCarthy's injury problems if he was a target and would be happier if we looked at Scandinavia or Europe as we have faced a few talented players in Europe recently and the price/ wages might be well within our budget.
