silva10 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Personally I am happy he has stayed within the group If he is going to be with us pre-season, you never know what will happen. It is an opportunity for him that I hope he grabs, because it will reflect well on the A League and may encourage more people to invest in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae7smith Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Personally I can't see Mooy breaking into the Man City XI under pep. The fact that no transfer figure has been announced also has me worried, I know it seems strange, and would literally be transferring funds from one of CFG's bank accounts to another. I'd be interested in the specifics on the deal's futures ie if Mooy is sold to another club, how much gets kicked back to us. To me it still feels like we are getting little out of this deal, so hoping there are some big (not Cahill) marquee announcements coming up.

Doesnt this give him security being under the CFG umbrella? Isnt this better for us for when he decides to come back to Australia to play?

Obviously I can understand Melbourne supporters being upset he is leaving. However, as you say he was leaving anyway, so I am happy he is staying within the group.

If however he wanted to leave after one season (which under JVS would have been a temptation) then i may not be so accepting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Premier League you need 8 homegrown in the nation. In the CL you need 4 homegrown at the club and 4 homegrown in the nation. So if you meet the CL requirements, you meet the Premier League requirements. But if you meet the Premier League requirements, you don't necessarily meet the CL requirements. So the CL requirements is the issue, hence my comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I note that no fee has been mentioned. Presumably undisclosed. But I do have a question - is it possible to do an exchange of players? That is we send them Mooy and they send us another player that maybe older but the equal of Mooy? Hence no monies are exchanged between clubs but thoroughbreds do swap places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Id rather any money we get from Mooy to be put into more infrastructure TBH. Perhaps some kind of cheap seating to watch games and an upgrade of the change rooms at the academy pitches so we look like more of a club.

Bratten and Caceras are still Manchester players just here on loan TBH I don't see that it matters very much. I'm sure that CFG and the local accounts of both clubs are under intense scrutiny by whoever makes up the rules and that we're complying with whatever we have to comply with. Even if a fee is involved it's only moving money from one CFG account to another. Edited June 30, 2016 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 It really doesn't matter. Mooy was gone anyway. If we received a transfer fee from another club it would have just meant CFG need to put less into Melbourne City. In the end it all works out pretty much the same, I'm sure CFG are just putting it down on paper as whatever works best for tax purposes or FFP purposes or similar.
