It's proof of the chronic lack of quality English keepers This. Wasn't sure why we bought him after he could not get into a QPR team that was relegated.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Alex McCarthy for england' by Penge Eagle Did make me laugh. A keeper we didn't rate as third choice, is third choice for England. Talk about limited options.

Some of us could see he had huge potential, shame the majority never game him a chance. Our loss, Southamptons gain. Where as some of us could see him regularly fumble and cost us points.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Alex McCarthy called up to England Squad' by Penge Eagle Haha - makes me laugh how some people are coming out suggesting this call-up is proof of his talent. 1) He isn't young at all (above average age of a PL GK), so hardly should still be "potential". 2) How many clowns have played for England - loads and this is just a friendly - he won't get anywhere near the bench for a competitive game. The guy really was terrible, he got incredibly lucky on numerous times making seriously basic errors. I hope we had a bonus clause for an England call up/appearance - Parish will be pissing himself laughing. Edited by jpegnall (01 Sep 2016 4.39pm)

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Alex McCarthy called up to England Squad' by Penge Eagle Baffling that people would seemingly rather have England's 4th/5th choice keeper than France's number 2. Fraser Forster is a far superior keeper to McCarthy and will stay ahead of him at club and international level for the foreseeable future.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Alex McCarthy called up to England Squad' by Penge Eagle Fair play to him. I am not sure I would have dropped him when we did but looked no better than Hennessy technically and his kicking is woeful. I am sure he probably won't get a club game when Forster is fit How bizarre would it be if Forster is gets fit within the international break and comes straight back in for Sotton?!

Yes let's keep some perspective here. He has only just left Palace and as yet has done nothing at Southampton nor has he actually played for England. If it was March next year and he'd been playing blinders for Saints and had become England no1 keeper then we'd be justified in questioning the decision to sell. But now? Great post. Given his poor form, to sell him for £4m was a master stroke (a profit of £500k). Totally mystified how he can get an England call up, especially when he isn't even first choice keeper!!
