Being a massive Evertonian myself, i'm gutted to inform you that James MCcarthy will be signing for arsenal for a fee of around 24 million. I know his girlfriend well, they've told the landlord they're moving out and have inquired about an appartment in Hoxton, North London

Why would any Arsenal player live in Hoxton it's no where near London Colney where they would be working most days and on top of that isn't a great area at all lol

Is he a dm or just a usual cm? I can't remember. If cm can't see it tbh. Wouldn't pass on Cesc for him surely. Any eds know anything?

Hoxton! You must be have got that wrong. I lived in Islington all my life and I can honestly say that Hoxton is not the chosen abode of professional footballers. Hadley Wood, Totteridge, is more the norm for Arsenal players. It's near the training ground and was always a favourite.

I think he's a very good player with many of the qualities- has an engine, defensive discipline, tremendous fight, pretty good skill- we look short of and suffer badly from the lack of at times.

It's true, the greedy, greedy Gooner in me wants even more (and sure is teased by the mention of Vidal today) but as for Mccarthy offering the chance to improve our midfield of last year, yes; as for signing him being better than the majority of anyway-realistic people out there, yes; better than signing no one, hell yes.

But are we signing him? Oh, I doubt it. the renting thing sounds a bit off but more importantly his latest tweet, yesterday, sounds completely unlike that of a man on the move.

'Buzzing' that Coleman has signed up, great for club, etc.
