Man City hoping Aaron Mooy can join their midfield options next summer

Australian star is making big impression on Manchester City scouts watching him drive Huddersfield Town's promotion push


 

Manchester City are hoping Aaron Mooy will add to their midfield options next summer.The Australia midfielder has quickly become one of the best players in the Championship on loan at Huddersfield, after joining the Blues from sister club Melbourne City in the summer.

Mooy has been the driving force behind the Terriers' push into the play-off places, a tireless worker, fierce competitor and accomplished passer.City have been keeping careful tabs on him during his season-long stay over the Pennines – in the hope he can become part of their squad next summer.And in a period when City have missed Fernandinho, Mooy fits the bill. Like the Brazil star, he is an all-rounder, slotting neatly into the defensive role but also creative and dangerous when he plays further forward – and he is a setpiece specialist.

He was seen as an attacking midfielder in Oz, where he was involved in 43 of Melbourne's 63 games last season, including 11 goals and a league record 20 assists.Mooy told our sister paper the Huddersfield Examiner: “Manchester City speak to me at least once a week and their scouts are coming to our matches, so they know how I’m doing.“They see me developing and they are in touch quite a lot, so it’s good.ADVERTISEMENT

“They wanted to put me in a tough league to test me out and see how I deal with it, and they are happy with how I’m going.

“But they still think I can improve and play at a higher level, so hopefully I can keep progressing.”Mooy made the move from Melbourne in the summer, a surprise deal for City, especially after his previous move to England – when he went to Bolton as a 16-year-old – ended without him making a first-team appearance in four seasons.He moved on to St Mirren for two seasons but was dogged by a back injury and returned to Australia.

He had two years at Western Sydney Wanderers before Melbourne moved for him in 2014, and by then he was an established international and one of the stars of the A-League – and jumped at the chance of another stint in England.City signed him on a three-year deal in the summer and immediately loaned him to Huddersfield, where manager David Wagner has similar ideas to Guardiola.Wagner recently said: “Aaron is fantastic – a fantastic football player and a fantastic guy as well.

“He is humble but very ambitious and that's why he's at the right place here, as we are also humble and ambitious.“He is the heart of our offensive game. He knows exactly when he has to accelerate the game, when to slow down the game.“He makes nearly no mistakes in passing, and nearly always makes the right decisions. This is something special for an offensive player, who is able to handle the ball so well but is aggressive, with a very good working attitude in defence as well.“This combination is something special.”

A few gaping holes in that story.

A move to Manchester would be amazing but after what he is producing at Huddersfield deserved.

Just to add to that, some comments from their forum....

"Said to my mate today, best player I have seen in 40 plus years watching Town. He has everything. Enjoy it while we can!"

"Some of the things he did today didn't follow the laws of physics"

"Love how when he gives the ball away he ALWAYS gets it back ,,, said to my 9 year old he doesn't know how lucky he is to watch a player like mooy at town ,,,,,, I'm luck too utt"

"I'm sold. Lads a genius."

"Quite simply brilliant today" 

"Us actually signing a player of Mooy's quality was some inspired transfer action. There is no doubt he would walk into the squad of any of those big-spending top 4 clubs"

I wonder if the Terriers supporters know about the sh1t coach that Mooy played under :hmm:  Would make his achievements even more noteworthy.

Funny enough out of all the players the style of play last season suited Mooy and Bruno. Mooy had reign to float all over the midfield and dominate.

Nice blog about Mooy and chances of making it into the Man City lineup.

Right now, nobody in our team is having the influence that Aaron had last season. Brattan/Caceres underwhelming - they just run around in circles.

 

 

And people actually thought that either of them would be better than Mooy let alone as good as him...

They're not even close.

I don't think the rules allow a recall.

I was under the impression the new rules meant you could recall in transfer windows, just not on a month to month basis like previously. In saying that I’m not sure, it would make sense that the terms are stipulated in the actual loan contract upon formation so as not to leave the loanee in the lurch.

I'm definitely not 100% sure though.

Hope Huddersfield can do quite well in the FA Cup. Got a favourable match tonight to advance.

Not sure if they want to. They are well placed in the league but don't have a deep squad so getting to a playoff promotion spot would be their only target.
