Everton midfielder Gareth Barry says James McCarthy is among the best players he's played with.
On-loan Manchester City veteran Barry has played alongside some of the modern game's most distinguished midfield performers.
But Barry told evertontv: "For me, from playing alongside him, (in terms of) influencing games, James is up there with the best already.
"Until you play with someone week in week out it's hard to judge how good somebody is.
"I had obviously played against James before and knew he was a really good player, but to train and play alongside him for a whole season you realise that for someone so young he is so mature."
