Newcastle United are ready to open the bidding on Everton's £20million-rated midfielder James McCarthy.

Leicester, Sunderland and Crystal Palace have also expressed strong interest in the Republic of Ireland international though have yet to bid.

McCarthy was left out of the squad on Saturday that beat Stoke after talks with Everton on Friday.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman wants a replacement in before he can agree to letting the 25-year-old go while Everton will want close to £20m for a player that cost them £13m from Wigan in 2013.

Leicester have made a £20million offer for Steven N'Zonzi at Sevilla but face competition from Juventus and have McCarthy as another option.

Better than a decent player in my opinion and possibly someone who may be happy as a squad player, once we work out who our best starting midfielders would be when all fit. Hardworking, pretty complete midfielder in my view with premier league experience and possibly surplus to requirements at Everton. Its not a hugely exciting link, but it does add depth and if Inler is to leave, we are short in that area. £20,000,000 is steep though. You'd think if he wants the guarantee of a starting berth then the other clubs linked look a better bet.

 

Seeing Sunderland linked reminded me of Kheziri who seriously impressed me on a handful of occasions last year as a ball winner. Is he tending to start for them this season?

No thanks.

 

Everton fans think he's shite.

Got a lot of abuse last season alongside Stones, Barkley and others.

 

I find it hard to believe they are all cr ap players, although do agree perhaps they are a little over-rated. Still top bracket players in my view.

.

McCarthy not at same level, but something wasn't right at Everton last year. Not sure if they just weren't playing for the manager or the system was wrong or whatever, but I'd not write this player off.

True. Everton were a shambles last year.

 

I searched his name on Twitter last week when he was linked with Newcastle. I was being shocked by how much abuse he was getting.

Everton fans think it's their divine right to be winning trophies, I'd take their remarks with a pinch of salt.

Quite like him good player ? 

Premier league experience, love it how we gulp at this price but all would spunk over an unknown kid from abroad... lol

you're saying £20m for McCarthy is the right price to pay?

 

Considering you questioned yourself I very much doubt it. Regardless of how much players from abroad cost. It doesn't justify such a high price-tag for someone who is essentially just a hard-working central midfielder (where we don't really need to strengthen).

Not even a link really is it? He obviously wants out of Everton, Koeman probably isn't too fussed if he goes and his agent is touting him as best he can. 

 

Still think he's a very good player though, was one of the top performing midfielders a couple of years back but then had the misfortune to be managed by Roberto Martinez.

 

£20 million seems very steep though for a player with a point to prove

I'd get him in for £20 mil. He is for sure better than King and James.

I do love the slating of James. We have only really seen him in a struggling poor side in the prem. At least give him the chance to prove himself in a decent side ffs.

Just hope the poor lad stays fit so he can get a run in a cup or something :)

As an Irish fan, I'd be delighted to have more Irish representation in our team. Whilst McCarthy is arguably better than James for example, £20m is ludicrous. He has a serious work rate, which is ideal for the team, but he can occasionally be a hothead if things are not going his way. 

 

Not sure why we're linked, but can only assume it's agents at play. 2 years ago I would have said yes please for the price he went to Everton, but now it's a no.
