Good stuff! Good opportunity for McCarthy to kick on now and gain some form. With the Sheffield lads getting exposure and some youth coming through things could really come along now. Coybig
Great move for McCarthy. Guaranteed first team football with a solid team will hopefully help him regain his fitness and form and his place in the Irish team.
Hopefully Zaha goes the other way now. Everton could do surprisingly well this season
@Kerrydone: err, why would Zaha go to Everton….not much of a difference between 11 and 7…,
@Matisyahu Kelleher: You think that’s the reason players move?
