Surprised about Anderson and McCarthy rumours... Even wih Hudd and Parker going I feel we have enough players?
If McCarthy bid did accept we can pretty much say that we are going for 4-3-3 with different qualities of midfielders all around....... Sandro being the destroyer, paulinho/McCarthy the all rounder and perfect box to box, dembele the runner/energy-maker , caroll / holtby - passer/creative hub , siggurdsson - advanced cm /left winger ... Versatile midfield options i must say..
ps : WE NEED A STRIKER !!

Good - Competition is exactly what we need - if he is happy to come and work his arse off to get into the team then i am all for it. We are building a squad and we need players like this who are happy to come in and be a part of it.

McCarthy is quite a creative player no? Would give us some options instead of just the big 3 in the middle.

Sandro is back in training and in the squad for the Asia Trophy next week, could be back playing sooner than you think

As far as i am aware, he has never shared any info in the past, but he is a decent poster on there who is not a wum and has been on SO for 4 years now. So i personally believe this info to be just as his post is titled... genuine ITK. We will see.

Betting companies reeling you with strange odds to make you think it's a runner. that's my assumption.

As long as we've got Benteke and Chadli lined up then McCarthy would be a decent signing. Overrated IMHO and not as good as McArthur but definitely has a higher ceiling and is capable at defending as well as attacking. Around £10m would be a fair price.

Spot on.
McCarthy is valued at a ridiculous £20m by Wigan.
Bernard supposedly has a release clause of £21m.
I know who I'd rather have.

If we do adopt a 3 man midfield for the campaign, I guess I could see a five man rotation of Sandro, Dembele, Paulinho, McCarthy and Carroll working with the obvious hint that Parker, Huddlestone and Livermore are deemed surplus to requirements.
All would get plenty of games I feel but this can't be at the expense of more glaring deficiencies in the side, of which have been explained to death.

Don't buy the McCarthy stuff myself. Not doubting the sincerity of the poster on SO, but I just can't see a situation where we've already spent £17m on a central midfielder and we also know that we desperately need a striker which would eat up another substantial wad of cash (with most of the options we'd be looking at likely to cost in excess of £10m)... and then purchase another central midfielder on top of that for a £8m-£16m sum. That's just too much business for us to get done, IMO.
