As an Irish based season tkt holder,we'll have seen a lot of McCarthy over the last few seasons and let me tell you...we don't rate him ! Has consistently failed to live up to his reputation in last couple of years. Doesn't command the midfield like a proper CM should and rarely plays anything other that laterally and backwards. Hugely over rated and when I say that Jeff Hendrick totally outshone him at the Euros ( yes,the Derby guy !) that tells you all u need to know..stay clear! I think Dundalk is giving us good advice. If he is being let go, must be a reason!

I thought it was likely to be a formational change that left him surplus to requirements or the purchase of someone who fulfilled his role better. But it's also possible he's lost something since his injuries last season.

Yes because that's how football works , couldn't be that Koeman doesn't fancy him because he doesn't suite the style of player he wants or any number of reasons!!! McCarthy is very much a no frills midfielder who keeps his passing simple keeping possession and works very hard, but isn't that creative , very similar to McCarthur in my opinion , so in terms of creativity he isn't the answer , but if we want to strengthen the middle and perhaps move cabaye further upfield he is though , would be a good replacement for Jedi.

I am not sure - if we have a limited budget - that his position should be the focus. But if he were available he would definitely improve our team.

Take two players out of that starting midfield and I think we look pretty weak, so strength in depth is still an issue there. I'd definitely have him.

Bit too similar to MacArthur! Ledley as back-up more than good enough (Euro 2016 showed that).
