The depressing thing is how predictable it is. If you want to play for Celtic you need to make sure they pay a few million for you, then they'll be sure to play you. They seem to sign half a dozen punts in the £0 to £500k range every year and most of them never get a fair chance to play (not just the Irish lads). It remains a really poorly run club in terms of their transfer strategy. Let's be honest, Scales fee was no more than a bit of financial redistribution by the owner anyway. He would have been a £200k signing for any other club.

Celtic down to the bare bones and he can’t even get off the bench tonight
Definitely wasn’t signed by Ange, more of a Desmond signing Don’t think he’ll play for Ireland again

An injury prone midfielder playing for a side whose manager's high intensity training regime seems to be causing injuries right across the squad. And they gave him a four year deal. I'd guess his agent will be negotiating him a nice fat payoff from the contract in a year or two's time.

i see celtic have brought in two new central midfielders. They must really be regretting signing McCarthy up to a 4 year deal now.
I wonder will they look to cut him loose. Needless to say his Ireland career is over.

His main issue from an Ireland perspective is that he can't be relied upon to be available. His main competition Josh Cullen barely misses a minute for club or country never mind missing games. His international days are behind him unfortunately.

Is apparently not in Ange's plans and has been offered on loan to Hibs and Hearts this week.

The slippery slope.
3 years left on his contract at Celtic.

I admit I was wrong on my assessment of Mccarthy. He was much worse than I thought he would be. The fear was that Mcarthy wouldnt be able to combine club and international careers. At the rate he's going he's going to be lucky to have any career at all. I hope that this isn't lost on Kenny. There's a few lads who are stealing a living at the moment. Mccarthy, Brady, Hourihane, Arter are all players who need be moved on.

Stealing a living. So trying to get back after significant injuries now makes you a thief. Great supporter.

Good cameo off the bench tonight and played well at the weekend too off the bench once again. Maybe he is starting to reignite something.

Maybe fastracking 15 year olds into playing first team football shouldn't be considered. We will never know if it had any impact but he had a lot of miles on the clock by his early 20s.
Hopefully can have a few more years of playing ahead of him

It would damage this forums' reputation

This. There are always the exceptions to the rule with freak athletes i.e. Milner but more often than not, those that have burst onto the scene early doors finish up early doors or see a fairly rapid decline in their early 30s. Injuries and attitude, naturally play a part but i often think Rooney, Michael Owen, Theo Walcott, Micah Richards to name a few were victims of being fast tracked.

he is not good enough to play at international level now , whether it's fitness etc he would not have the legs for it which is clearly evident from his time at Celtic and his game time since signing , they may well keep him for another year but he will play less next season.
