Both have already left. Elyounoussi was a loan and ajer left last week.McCarthy and Hart must be on massive wages in Scottish football terms which will no doubt be financed by the sale of French diddy in the next few weeks and leave them weaker.
On August 31st at 11:01 pm Edouard will be worth zero to them so they need to punt him soon. Edouard, Elyounoussi , Ajer and Christie who will probably leave as well are better than what they've brought in so far.
Seen that mate. Also that Davis played more games in the last 2 seasons for us than McCarthy has in the last 5Callum McGregor managed more minutes last season than McCarthy has in the last 5 seasons. Some stat
What one of their midfield sits out to accommodate him. Turnbull Soro Macgregor Forrest? A downgrade in terms of energy.Had a look last night and the minutes McCarthy has played in the league over the last 5 seasons equates to 7 full league games a season so he’s been on the pitch for less than 20% of the games. If they keep him fit he’s a good player but how often do we hear that? How’s his body going to cope with the demands of 2 games per week when he rarely managed 1 in last 5 years?
I can’t believe they’ve given him a 4 year contract, especially considering that he’ll be 31 in November. It feels like a panic signing to fill gaps that could end costing a fortune.
Yeah, I presume it’ll be Soro. McCarthy is a better player but not as mobile or strong defensively so it’ll be interesting to see the balance.What one of their midfield sits out to accommodate him. Turnbull Soro Macgregor Forrest? A downgrade in terms of energy.

Unsure where this injury prone suggestion is coming from. He missed 3 games last season through injury. He didn't get a huge number of games, but played around 40 times the season before for Crystal Palace.
I actually think, unfortunately, that's a decent signing for them.
Davie Provo was on the radio last night saying McCarthy was only signing if they gave him a 4 year dealHes clearly not the player he was when younger but equally hes an upgrade on the likes of Turnbull or whatever joker theyre trying to convince us can make the step from the youth team.
The repeat of 'hes only played X in X' can be very misleading as there are other factors at large than just injuries. EPL squads are huge and managers under massive pressure, dont forget our own Steven Davis barely kicked a ball for Southampton over 2 seasons just because the manager didnt fancy him for the team.
Speaking of which I cant help but think the reason theyve given him a multi year deal like this, madness really, is theyve looked at how amazing Davis has been and thought we can do that as well. Problem for them is JM is no SD under any circs.
Of course he is, I’ve actually no problem with that, you have to look out for yourself.Davie Provo was on the radio last night saying McCarthy was only signing if they gave him a 4 year deal
So he's looking after himself
I suppose if he was under contract hed cost a £ew so that saving has likely bumped his wages a little bit. Actually its a decent signing for them, especially considering how bad their midfield is but its not a game changer vs us over a season.Davie Provo was on the radio last night saying McCarthy was only signing if they gave him a 4 year deal

Ryan Jack is going to snap the %^*& out of him. Love it.
According to Wikipedia he has played 72 games in the last 5 seasons. Whether that is due to injuries or just not being selected, its still a pretty poor return.
This will be a disaster. All for it hahaIt’s becoming more apparent that someone above big Angie is calling the shots when it comes to transfers.
He was a good player 5-6-7 years agoDecent player especially at our level. Hopefully flops. Anyone who says he aint a good player or was take ya blue tinted specs off

Ryan Jack is never fit.
May be wrong, but suspect Ryan will play more games, be more influential than JMcA and cost a fraction.Ryan Jack is never fit.

LovelyThink you're spot on there mate. An Australian journalist the other day was saying Postecoglu didn't want either of the 2 new signings they announced yesterday, this was also reported by The Athletic.
I actually rate him as a player. Though obviously a bit of a risky signing considering how little football he's played in the last few years.
Surprised they aren't concentrating on their defence though. Their midfield and attackers are good enough to score against most SPFL teams. Their defence isn't good enough to keep clean sheets against anyone. If they don't sign 2 fullbacks and a centre half doesn't really matter who they have in midfield.

The wee dugJonathan or Jennifer?
And Hart isn't a keeper who is good with the ball at his feet, either he is abandoning his system he said he would never change or these signings are being forced on him.So much for Ange wanting his team to be energetic with high pressing and playing with high intensity.
Their strongest midfield now contains McCarthy and Turnball.
It’s not going to end well
Good point. Rooney and Owen both broke into first team at similar ages and proved to be world class but bodies couldn’t cope. Both were pretty much washed up by 31/32 and surviving purely on reputation alone.Worth noting that he's been playing mens football since the age of 15...so in football terms he's quite old even though he's 'only' 30. Never fit either.
