Just heard from a family member of James McCarthy that he has signed for Celtic. obv not a clue yet on length of the deal or wages, etc.
A great signing of we can keep him fit eh.
Wee bit of dig we are clearly missing in the engine room.

ShammyShaker, I know James is linked with us in EVERY transfer window but for obvious reasons, this window is different.

If your info is correct (and I hope it is) he'll add much needed craft and steel to our midfield.

Hopefully, we need something different in there .

If fit at 30 he's a great signing, but must stay fit.

Really hope this is true, exactly what we need.

I hope your right. He is a country mile better than what we have. I think it’s always been in his heart to sign for us, and 30 means he still has a few top flight years in him for us.

Not knocking the signing because think it's a positive signing but why has it taken so long to sign a free transfer, surely this could have been done at once his contract ended.

If we can get McCarthy in and sign Hart for buttons, then on paper, it's good business.

McCarthy should have been signed ten years ago.

Absolutely solid player. Will bring a bit of "knows what it means" to the side. Should walk the midfield when able.

it depands how many games you get out of him before his next long lay off.

{Ed007's Note - Are you thinking of the right player? James McCarthy has had one serious injury in his career and that was in 2018, he played over 50 games for Crystal Palace over his 2 years there - missing only 3 games during that time with a hamstring injury.}

I think Celtic were trying to put into a contract with him pay as you play. And that was a dispute with his agent on that.

Having listened to the latest podcast and the stats on McCarthy given by mark I really don’t understand the “he’s always injured” patter.

First one Iv listened too and loved it, that’s me hooked I’ll be listening to them all now HH.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks very much mate 👍👍

If we can get Barkas out to AEK on a loan to buy and maybe get in Siegrist, perhaps a swap with Bain then that's the GK situation sorted out 👌.

What a signing maybe 30 but we don’t have many experienced players and he’s played the Scottish game before. No no messing kinda guy.
