    It's madness. A couple of million for a player of Mccarthy's ability is a bargain, £4/5m, a fair price. £12m is almost comical.

    They really are. While all their rivals have strengthened, Woodward has just * around for the summer. Plus the whole Herrera fiasco has made United a joke

    It's very dependent on the CL, he would have to impressed there to make the move in the first place.

    It's all speculation, but he would have to have a sensational time here, and score big goals in Europe to go for £8m....all imo of course.

    Got to Disagree watched him many a time at Hamilton when my boy was in the youth set up He stuck oot a mile in the 1st division was only on about £500 a week with them but played the long game and now reaping the rewards
    He holds his own in midfield in one off the best leagues in the world

    Superb advert for young boys starting off the now in pro-youth how hard work and the right attitude can get you

    Must be the first boy from Castlemilk involved in £13 million pound transfers

    Canny believe we never signed him when we could have for washers

    Some mad deals this summer. Villa for a measly 5 mill. Bale for a retarded 85 mill. That Irish/Scottish Hamilton guy for 14 mill was it? * astonishing.
    Man U spent all summer with their thumbs up their arses, let Thigo, Wanyama, Fabregas, Ozil, Modric, De Rossi, Herrera and more all pass them by, didn't go for Fellaini for 23 m but then panicked and got him for 27 :56:

    If you look at all the good young players going out on loan from the Premier League, it makes our Saturday deadline even more of a poor decision by the SFA.

    A number of Premiership clubs, any professional ex player you hear discuss him etc etc...

    Ahhh the old Andy Carroll scale, love that getting rolled out whenever transfer fees are discussed.

    Don't get me wrong, he's a good footballer who would off course stick out in the Scottish 1st Division. A 30 something Lee Mcculoch stands out in the second division by a mile.

    Gary Caldwell and Shaun Maloney have both won player of the year awards while at Wigan....if Mccarthy is as good as some say....where is his?

    Imagine if a young Maloney had the season he had last year for Wigan? £20m+ player right there.

    AS English @English_AS Our reports say that Coentrao is still a La Liga player, but lots of people saying the fax from Man Utd made it in time.

    Anything but a strange signing. Cracking player.

    United need a midfielder and a left back - got 1 and should have got the other, the Herrera deal hit stumbling block after stumbling block by all accounts.
