James McCarthy

Need him gone.

 

Who would actually take him

 

He's 32 and well past it, nobody is taking him. I'd be happy for him to go out on loan for the rest of the 2 years even if just a couple of grand a week of his wages were covered but why would he choose to do that? He will retire here aged 34 having barely kicked a ball for us.

 

Aye, the only way I see him leaving is us paying a huge chunk of his contract up front and letting him walk.

We may have to take the hit tbh.

A terrible signing from DD.

 

Surprised he's made as many as 27 appearances.

 

He has been stealing a wage from here for far too long, just pay the contract up and escort him out the door as nobody will be as stupid as us to offer him a long term contract with his record here.

 

Forgot he was here.

It’s evident that the manager thinks he is dog *.

 

No one with the length of contract and money we are paying him

 

I was banging the drum about his injury record when he was given a four year contract

I overestimated it seems when I said he would play no more than 80 or 90 games

 

Major League Soccer clubs are eyeing Celtic midfielder James McCarthy, sources have told 90min.

90min understands the Houston Dynamoand Colorado Rapids in particular have expressed interest in the player as the league's Secondary Transfer Window approaches.


The midfielder first joined Celtic in 2021 from Crystal Palace, signing a four-year contract with the Scottish Premiership side. He's managed just 27 appearances across two seasons, struggling to find his footing under manager Ange Postecoglou.

A change of pace in the American league could be useful for the player, especially as both the Dynamo and Rapids look to strengthen their midfield in a bid to compete for a playoff spot.

Despite limited resources, newly appointed head coach Ben Olsen has worked wonders with the Houston Dynamo by leading the team to ninth on the Western Conference table. They currently boast a record of 5W-6L-3D, and have seen some great victories in 2023 but remain largely inconsistent.



In the span of 10 days, the Dynamo defeated Minnesota United 4-0 and fell to the Vancouver Whitecaps 6-2.



The Rapids, on the other hand, continue to struggle in the West. The Colorado club sits in last place on the table with just 12 points in 16 games and a record of 2W-8L-6D. Reinforcements are desperately needed as injuries plague the roster.

To combat recent results, the team called up midfielder Marlon Vargas and forward Rémi Cabral from the club's MLS NEXT Pro side on Short-Term Agreements, a sign of desperation.

Major League Soccer's Secondary Transfer window is open from Wednesday, July 5 to Wednesday, August 2.

 

No MLS club is going to take him as a designated player and none will be able to afford his wages otherwise

This will only happen if he really wants it

 

Off to Spurs apparently.

 

WhenI see the thread come up I always hope we have got rid of him but yet again he is still here!

 

Anges first signing

 

Always is.

 

Hey...'Don't Bang the Drum!'

(Tooone!)

 

The club at present seems to be running ok apart from from giving McCarthy a 4 year deal and Bain a 3 year deal extension pure * of a decision.

 

To be fair, there’s a degree of logic (even if incorrect) in the Bain deal. The McCarthy one was a shocker.

 

Offers from A League and MLS..

One of our worst signings in recent times, just didn't make any sense

 

Hopefully he takes them and doesn’t want to continue being a sponger
