disconnect Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 200k seems cheap for someone who's done very well on loan, is supposedly wanted by a lot of clubs in League One and the Championship and has had some first team experience with us. Seems weird he's deemed surplus to requirements to me, especially with our emphasis on youth etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 good luck to him. cheap enough to let him move to a decent enough club whilst we have one or two RBs coming through the ranks anyway who I suppose we think are better prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if they go back in for Isgrove too, after his loan spell there. They could build up quite a collection of ex-Saints academy players. McCarthy is a surprise as he was lauded last season but we've already got Cedric and Pied, and Valery coming through so I guess he's surplus to requirements.

Faz Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 Bit of a waste imo £200k says you're wrong. Destined for a decent career I think, but not the level we're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 12 June, 2017 Author Share Posted 12 June, 2017 I really hope not. He looks class. Les & co have decided otherwise. A shame though as you are right - in some ways he's had the 2 most perfect loan stints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 Surely he deserves the squad space that Martina and Pied have took up over the last 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 £200k says you're wrong. Destined for a decent career I think, but not the level we're looking for. He's had 2 brilliant loans , The same couldn't have been said for Jack Stephens before he got his chance ! 200k also sounds a bit low for a player from the best Academy in the land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 Stick a sell on clause in there too and probably about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been terrific during his last 2 loan moves. Very poor decision tbh. Clearly has what it takes and will make it back to the prem barring bad injuries. Poor again with regards to the club and youth players. Gallagher to follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 I know. You can't get better than 2 consecutive player of the season awards. In L2 and L1 where the role of a full back is slightly different to the PL. Not every player will make PL standard and we will have watched plenty of the player during his loan spells. In the youth setup here we were converting him into a CB but his loan football as mostly been at right back which is where he wants to play - perhaps we don't see him in that position long term?

vince Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Stick a sell on clause in there too and probably about right. And/or a buy back clause to cover all the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way down south Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 from the very little ive seen of him he doesnt seem too technically gifted nor is he very fast. just a grafter going up and down the touchline, and scoring a few (which we admittedely lack) but maybe thats why we'll let him go.

Nordic Saint Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Yes, good luck to him. Barnsley is a good club and I hope he does well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Clearly the club does not release players like this on a whim. He will have been watched in his loan spells, and all the technical analysis will have been done. There is no shame on him, or the club, and hopefully we will have a sell on clause to cover the bases. It's better for him to be playing than stuck in the U23's where he will also block the progress of someone like Valery who, one suspects, the club rate more highly.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Barnsley have a great reputation for developing young players now. It'll be a really attractive move for him - the chance to move up yet another division and also play for a club that will trust him and give him opportunities. I'd be surprised if Saints don't have a sell-on clause. I liked McCarthy for his attitude and leadership, something which has been very clear in all the games I've seen him play right through from the U18's under Dodd. It's disappointing to lose players with that mentality but clearly the move is made with the current pecking order in mind - we have two senior full-backs ahead of him at right-back and Valery is highly rated as well. At centre-half we have the seniors (lets say there are four of them - VvD, Yoshida, Stephens and a new signing) and at youth level the club love Alfie Jones (who whilst playing many games in defensive midfield this season is a natural centre-half and he has been doing the same as Jack Stephens did while at Swindon in terms of a new position helping him become a better defender).

Zed Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 A bit weird he's leaving when comparatively, we persevered with Isgrove for so long when it was clear he was total **** (yes I know he's now been released but we gave him a couple of extensions during his time here). Obviously McCarthy feels he will be better served moving as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 We do have Yann Valery who from the sounds of things is really one to watch. And McCarthy probably felt he doesn't have a route in the first team. We wanted him to be a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
