da marjack bet: Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to react after The Daily Mail reported that James McCarthy is amongst a list of players that Burnley and Bournemouth ‘like’ as clubs look to get moving in the January transfer window.
da leao: The Republic of Ireland international only arrived at Selhurst Park in the summer from Everton, signing in a deal worth a reported £3m.
However, McCarthy has found game time hard to come by so far this term, making just four Premier League starts under Roy Hodgson.
The Daily Mail report that Bournemouth ‘like’ the 29-year-old, whereas Burnley view McCarthy as someone who could provide fresh competition to Sean Dyche’s midfield ranks.
The former Wigan man started Palace’s last Premier League outing against Norwich, performing well enough for us to detail him as someone who could become an important player for the south Londoners as he made five tackles and recorded two key passes.
It would be unusual for a player only signed in the summer to leave in the following January transfer window, so let’s see how the Palace fans on Twitter reacted to the update.
These two supporters were both in agreement when saying that they’d sell McCarthy if the Eagles can get their money back on the Irishman.
Nick explained his thinking by stating that the former Everton man “isn’t awful or anything” but said that the midfielder “doesn’t really bring much”.
Meanwhile, Dan said that he’s “not totally against it” if Palace can get their money back and can strengthen elsewhere.
Elsewhere, these two supporters made reference to the fact that the Eagles have only just signed McCarthy, casting doubt on his chances of leaving as a result of that point.
Lastly, two contrasting reactions were seen by this pair of Palace fans.
It’s the dawn of a new decade in the Premier League, but how much do you know about the last 10 years?
One supporter named Harry said “oh please take him” when expressing a desire to see McCarthy leave, while another fan below Harry said “please don’t do this to me” – revealing a slightly different reaction as it appears they don’t want the midfielder to go.
