Looks like the players really do like the gaffer, James McCarthy has had Pool and Chelsea on the phone but he wants to stay at Latics and has asked his agent to sort out a new deal for him.
Wonder if Zog will follow suit? :naughty:
Best thing he could do. Better to stay here and gain experience (and help us) rather than be a small fish in a very big pool at a big club. If it’s true, well done lad :D

It was on Newsnow, so it must be true. Also, I suspect his agent has been told that there is no big money deal on the table from Liverpool or any of the other big clubs so he may as well sign an improved deal here.Cynical, I know, and it will be great if he stays. But let’s not pretend it has anything to do with anything other than money – or the lack of an offer of it from elsewhere.

Or maybe he just wants to play first team football for the next few years whilst he’s still only 20.
Yeah, maybe.
But I bet if Liverpool had offered him £40k per week to be a squad player, he’d have been off quicker than you could say relegation battle
Very cynical Griff
To be honest I suspect (if its true) that the reason’s for it are part money & part realising what’s best for his career at this point.
He seems to have a very level head on his shoulders from what little I know of him. He turned down tentative advances from Arsenal to stay at Hamilton & when Liverpool came in with a firm offer he turned it down coz he realised his career would best be served by playing regular first team football at Hamilton coz he wasn’t ready at that stage to be getting it at Liverpool & he’d be playing reserve team football.
When he eventually decided to leave there it was a few years down the line, when he felt ready to play english premier league football & he chose a club where he thought he’d stand a better chance of regular football & where he knew some of the staff – I doubt Latics offered him more money than WolvesIf he has a realistic view of his abilities at present as the above seems to indicate then he’ll know that he’s still not ready to command a regular first team place at a big club whereas he’s guaranteed a start & its not as if he’ll be short of a few bob at Latics anyway
So I doubt very much whether its all about the financial side of things coz Liverpool probably would pay him more, but I also doubt whether his decision would have much to do with loyalty towards Bobby or Latics & be more to do with a realistic view of what’s best for his career at this point
