    i think loaning him back to Hamilton would encourage his growth more than he would at Celtic Park.

    ...hopefully we include it in the deal so we get discount :celt_2:

    By all accounts he's said to be a really hot new prospect.......I wouldn't laugh this one off as the midfield is the engine room of our team right now. He could easily step in to my way of thinking :50:

    I'd take him in a heartbeat. I've not seen what the big fuss is about yet, but there's no smoke without fire. Great that he's a Celtic supporter.

    I'd take him and as has been suggested above if he's not likely to get into our first team straight away send him out on loan back to Hamilton for even 6 months.

    Well when they're talking in the region of 10k per week for an 18yr old I think they will want to keep him at Parkhead :50:

    Celtic's £10k-a-week offer to land Hamilton Accies starlet James McCarthy

    May 14 2009 By Anthony Haggerty
    CELTIC are set to make Hamilton star James McCarthy the highest-paid teenager in Scottish football history.
    Record Sport understands the Parkhead club are willing to pay the 18-year-old close to £10,000 a week.
    And that has promoted them to the head of the queue of clubs chasing the starlet.
    Hamilton have already dismissed Portsmouth's offer of £400,000, as revealed by Record Sport but Celtic could benefit because McCarthy wants to go to Parkhead.
    It emerged last night that the player would prefer a move to the current SPL champions rather than Tottenham, Middlesbrough or Portsmouth.
    Last night McCarthy's agent Willie McKay said: "James knows there is interest from England, but he's made it clear he would love to play for Celtic.
    "I'm sure they would be prepared to pay what would be a lot of money for a teenager."

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    A fantastic signing if it goes through. Young player of the year, and a snip at one million. The fact he's a Celtic man is a big boost, and i for one fully expect this deal to happen. * delighted.

    Additionally, a sound financial investment too, which will interest Lawell......the guy could be worth at least 5 times that amount if he progresses like he has done thus far.

    :50: I agree.

    Think he's just what we need upfront. He could be a hit at celtic for years to come!

    Mccarthy

    Well i woke up this morning to the delight that celtic might swoop for mccarthy, i always knew he wanted to play for us hes a hughe as fan and as my mate i dont think we've seen anywhere near how good he is at accies, what do you guys think,would this benefit celtic and mccarthy, or is the move a little to early for james mccarthy?, IF it goes through that is

    No i dont think its too early for the guy. It would benefit him and celtic if he moved to the club. Each season hes going to get better and better, if celtic dont act now theyll never be able to purchase him because of his value and a decent premier league side will snap him up

    I dont think he will walk straight into the squad, hes going to have to work hard, wont be easy trying to compete with maloney and mcgeady for a starting place if naka leaves in the summer

    its too early for him to make an immediate impact, it would take him 2 or 3 years to be able to play in our first team. Would be a good idea to sign him on a 5 year contract, send him out on loan for 1 more year then bring him into the squad for the year after, using him as back up. Its too soon for the youngster, really good potential right enough, if we dont buy him, another top side will! He reminds me of a young stevie gerrard!
