    Why not?

    He was a mainstay in Crystal Palace's midfield last season.

    Personally we're at a weird juncture in which Broony has the experience but won't be able to play a 60+ game season, then the understudies like Connell, Robertson have the legs but not the experience to play in such a crucial season.

    McCarthy could be the perfect bridge between the 2 for us.

    I struggle to believe this one but it’d be another massive signing if he keeps fit

    Given his injury record the past few years I would agree with that. No way we will pay that much for McCarthy. If we are signing him the fee will be much lower and personally I would be delighted if we did sign McCarthy. It is clear we are seeing the beginning of Brown's decline and ability to be a featured player for us so that holding role needs to be addressed with experience now as Connell and Soro are not ready to step in right now.

    Did he no play well for Palace as well last season and they only just signed him?

    Would be a slightly strange one..

    100% yes from me..

    Always wanted McCarthy here. Despite injuries still think he's an asset to us right now..

    Think so. No sure what the relationship is like with Woy. He said at the weekend McCarthy is unlikely to feature for Ireland due to a knock, then he rocked up and trained with Ireland yesterday.

    100% yes from me too. Sadly can't see it every happening.

    Also seen the argument - he's on about 60k a week down south. Young family. Can socialise and run about London practically unnoticed. Unlikely you'd come back up here for half your wages and to live in a goldfish bowl.

    Aye 60 grand a week and his injuries....you could see why that would put us off..

    No sure the goldfish bowl would bother him much. I reckon if the finances were right he'd have been at us from Accies if Mowbray was in for him or at any point after but going to England puts many player's out of our reach..

    Snodgrass another who'd walk to play for us but when you get down there and start earning obscene money....bouncing about....it's hard to work something out..

    Yeah i think this rumour is one for the bin,after what we have spent this window PL is going to need a lie down as it is never mind being linked with players around the 8 million bracket.Unless of course we sell someone.But even then i think any sale will just to get back some of what we have spent,rather than to fund anything else.

    Could be similar to Duffy though. Hes a bigger Celtic fan I'd say on the face of it and was probably disappointed not to sign all those years ago.

    Could see him taking a cut. Brown is on what...35k? At least 30k. Once he retires that's wages freed up immediately as well.

    These kind of moves could be ones funded by Desmond himself given the obvious * connection.
