Grangemouth Bairn Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 10 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: I imagine he will have wanted the longer deal due to the fact he will be taking a significant reduction on his wage as he was on something like 55k per week at Palace, same probably applies to Hart which in that respect possibly bodes well that they are both coming to Celtic to do well rather than line their pockets. If McCarthy is fit he's a massive upgrade on Soro Hopefully McKay has the foresight to offer a pay as you play deal to McCarthy. If he’s fit he’ll do well up here and for obvious reasons will appeal to a section of your support. I read on Twitter, and could be BS, that McGregor played more mins last year than McCarthy has played in the last 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Of Bain & Barkas who is the more likely to be moved on by Celtic? Suspect one of Doohan & Hazard will be moved on too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be legit, he spent his last 2 and a half seasons at Everton pretty much crocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkas has shown absolutely nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Would be surprised to see McCarthy being another Duffy, decent on paper but very mediocre in reality and that's if he is ever fit enough to play. Seems like a signing to keep the Celtic da's happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started 16 games maybe but did play in 35 which would be fair enough considering the lengthy time out He played in 16 games last season Edited August 3, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 McCarthy should be a good signing on paper, but I'm not sure he is what Celtic needed playing style wise, especially given his injury record and no doubt upper end wages. From memory he works hard, fairly disciplined defensively and comfortable on the ball in deeper areas. Pretty much McGregor without the goal threat. A midfield two of McGregor and McCarthy (with Turnbull in front) seems remarkably samey to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 18 games last season - according to transfermrkt - was injured for 3 weeks, came back as a sub and then out the squad for 5 weeks. On the bench and a few sub appearances and 1 90 mins for the next 8 weeks then out the squad again. played most of the games in the last few games of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Is it too early to call your new keeper a cŭnt? I accept you lot are desperate for a decent keeper, and as much of a cŭnt Hart is, he's certainly very capable. Doesn't stop him being a cŭnt though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Still shaking my head at a 4 year deal to Mccarthy. A very tidy player but his injury record at the age he is at is a huge risk Edited August 3, 2021 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy is solid when fit and can do a job protecting that defence and tbf we need all the help we can there.

Given that Soro doesn’t appear to be rated, Brown and N’Tcham have been given free transfers and Christie wants away, will that not put even more pressure on McGregor with only McCarthy coming in ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
