I stopped posting after the few posts that A League was as good basically out of embarrassment. Just been popping in now and then and trying to catch as many games as possible which is quite frustrating.
Anyway Mooy seems to coping well and has played some good football. He really needs a gun striker to feed (no disrespect intended on current forwards) but If Huddersfield can land a quality finisher it has the makings of a possible promotion.
Regardless, from what I've seen it's been a great move for Mooy to make and he is lucky he landed a quality club.

Nick that's never going to happen is it. I've said before he'll be in City's squad next year. We get to enjoy the Mooy show for one season only. Plenty more opportunities to watch him flick the ball over opponents heads or the shimmie that sees him shed all his markers in an instant or just those fantastically retro sliding tackles.

I don't think any of the Aussies (including me) were saying the A-League is better than the Championship. It's clearly not. But those who watch a lot of football tend to think the better A-League teams would survive in the Championship or do well in League One. If he came straight from a league several levels below the Championship, there's no way Mooy would have performed straight away as well as he has. There are probably another 20-odd Australian players in the A-League who would be good enough for the Championship, but no strikers. We're just not very good at making strikers. If you could make a Mark Viduka id have one here. To add, if you look through, some oz posters did think the A League was a better standard, it's simply not when Andy Keogh is 2ND leading scorer.... Viduka was a one in a generation striker by Oz standards. We've been looking for the next one for years.
I doubt anyone really believes the A-League better than the Championship. There might have been a few late night post-sherbet posts...

Good enough for the Premier League with Town?! Some said the £6m transfer of Mooy was a way of injecting funds into Melbourne City and they may be right. What is to say we make it to the top flight and keep him!

He is simply "in the shop window" at Town - not a prayer of a chance of making it at City.

Can anybody clarify if we have got him nailed down until the summer. Heard via someone via Harry kewell ?.. that Watford, Leeds, villa and Newcastle are in for him. However he's nailed on to move to New York after his loan spell! A bit of a round about tale but he does have legitimate sources.

That's what I heard they are prepared to offload him in January .... Newcastle were in pole position but Leeds, Villa and Watford are all in "negotiations" with him or his agent. However city want to bounce him on to New York, more than likely he will go but he's in two minds, fancies progressing his career in Uk ala viduka & kewell.

Why would he go to New York - their season has just finished! The new season starts in March I believe.
And the general standard of MLS apart from a few individuals is worse than the Championship.

One word money leave mid Jan .... 6 weeks pre season then ready for season start.....part of city's world wide domination plan ? who knows. I heard he's being pushed there, but Watford are looking @ him but he fancies staying in uk and moving to one of Leeds, villa or most likely Newcastle who have been in for him. Hence my question te his loan period.

Because you know that the people not in any know on here are putting 2+2 together and equalling 15. Tell you why this fairytale of New York is coming about, because Frank Lampard is leaving. Mooy will be in his prime soon, will want to play in the Premier, no matter what fingers Man City have in pies, ultimately it's his choice. I'm willing to put a wager on it, that come July Aaron Mooy will be playing for a Premier League team

There isn't, but if his contract with Man C is terminated by sale(or otherwise) his loan deal expires - see Danny Drinkwater, Man U/Barnsley/Leicester. Nothing the Tykes could do.

Wasn't a season long loan, and given it got extended in the January it is likely to have had a recall clause in.

From what I've seen of Aaron for the past couple of seasons he is ultimately after bettering his footbal level as opposed to financial.
He has had several big money offers and has always chosen the path that will get him to the highest level even if that means less dollars.
The reason why he is playing at town has got very little to do with the money but more so the actual football. That's why all this talk of Newcastle Leeds and even Watford is just talk. New york won't happen either.
He will be at town for a minimum this season and I wouldn't be surprised if also next season.

Sounded like he was poor today from the reports. Not a great result either. Aussies in third place in the group.

Yeah not a good result in a competitive group. Not the end of the world, but we really want to be finishing top 2 to qualify directly.
Still plenty of games to go - and could well come down to the final game when Saudi and Japan play each other in Riyadh (and Australia play Thailand at home).

Correct again, in the unlikely event he went back early he wouldn't be eligible to play for any other team. Alex Ferguson called his players back from P.N.E. when the manager (his son) was sacked. That tantrum meant they were forced to sit out the rest of the season.
