Il be gutted if we spend 15 million on mccarthy, if that's what the board call marquee we are truly knackered

I think the dundee utd kid is called gauld. They call him baby messi up there.17 yrs old.worth a look

Surely there are better midfield players better than McCarthy, plus Holtby is available! Come on Martinez!!!

Rather have McCarthy play for us than holt by. not been impressed by him at all in Germany or here! McCarthy on the other hand is a talented lad. although the price is bloated!

5.) 30 Aug 2013
You are underestimating McCarthy - he is class believe me

6.) 30 Aug 2013
Macarthy is a class act the new Roy keane in my view will be one of the top cm in Europe in a few years 15m may seem high but the lad will be a top investment

7.) 30 Aug 2013
Agree mccarthy before holtby for me.

10m for McCarthy seems fairer to me he's good but not 15m good yet

I was hoping it would be Ryan Gauld when I saw Dundee Utd in the original post. Supposed to be a quality player, played in all of the club's matches so far. Scored in the league cup, too. Just 17, so would be one for the future. (Maybe buy him and leave him on loan there this season?)

Ince would give us another wide option, maybe so Pienaar could get more time in the middle. He's got baggage, though.

McCarthy I would be fine with, but only if the price is decent. Getting in another midfielder of any sort would be wonderful. Sigurdsson would be nice, Holtby too. But I worry about the price with any of them.

Mccarthy is a quality player and he is only 22. Price is deft over inflated but he will deft be a priced asset

11.) 30 Aug 2013
Mccarthey and holtby are two different players completely, I think if we do put a bid in for McCarthy it will be because felli is on his way out

Yeah, I wouldn't say 15 million is the worst thing in the world for McCarthy. I do think that a lot of you are being swayed by the fact he plays for Wigan, Martinez is their ex-manager and for some that has raised questions over his ability (both Bobby and McCarthy). That being said, we knew **** all about Fellaini when we signed him for 15 million but we were all excited and he's turned out alright like. If, (and it should be pointed out that its all speculation) we are going to bid 15 million for McCarthy, then I think we should trust Martinez' judgement. By all accounts, the guy is a rough diamond and for what people are paying lately for players (read Bale and half of Spurs' signings) then 15 million isn't a "huge" amount of money to spend. Its practically the new 7 million in our transfer market now.

The Dundee United player is Ryan Gauld, left winger think he's just turned 18 and a big prospect.

Is this the same McCarthy who played for Ireland not so long ago and tore a hole in the England midfield, dominating it almost by himself (against carrick and lampard) both valued of upwards of £20Mill and £7Mill respectively! Think £10-15Mill is a sound investment for a talented young pass master

15.) 30 Aug 2013
Neither Sigurdsson or Holtby will come cheap because Levy is the toughest negotiator in Europe bar none

16.) 30 Aug 2013
It's still a lot of money when you look at some of the players spurs have brought in, Capoue £9m, Erikksen £11-12m? I'd have preferred both to McCarthy. Having said that I do rate McCarthy and believe he'll be one of the best CM's around in years to come.

McCarthy is highly priced, but is is a class act and I think him Fellaini and Barkley would make a lethal Central midfield. Although, if he comes, Fellaini would probably laready be out the door.
