[Albion] Aaron Mooy joins Shanghai SIPG

[fisons]

Disappointed. He was a pivotal player for us in some matches, and always had a goal in him.

I completely agree with this. I really enjoyed watching him and having him as part of our team/squad. The clause in the contract was a clever thing on both sides. Perhaps this is a sign of greater things to come for us?

I’m a bit late to this, and can’t be arsed to trawl back through all the pages....what was the clause exactly?

4M release clause specifically to Chinese clubs.

£4m release clause to a Chinese club. Edit, sorry a bit slow there.

That’s interesting. I guess we were a top-flight stop gap before a, hoped for, move east then?

He's had the clause since he joined Hudds. Salary £3m pa net. Just wow!

 

[Dunk&Disorderly]

Interesting. They were grey gloves on the tweet I saw with 2 hands looking like they were together as if clapping.

He also tweeted that Mooy was sold for 15m and then quickly deleted after Naylor's article was posted quoting the real release clause fee.

Not sure how reliable anything is from him.

 

[BrickTamland]

Having seen Alzate and Molumby it makes complete sense.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Not a problem

Fair play to him. In general I liked him, and he seems a sound and very professional person, but he lacked consistency at times. Good arrangement for club and player I think.

Are those stats based on last season (genuine question, not being sarcy)?

Yep last season only.

Oh I stand corrected then, I hadn't realised Gross had been as effective as that last season. I'd also forgotten about MacAllister too when posting originally. We do have a lot of midfielders don't we!

Seems an odd career for the lad, but perhaps he’s someone with a talent for football but very much sees it as a career. Wasted a chunk of his career at Man City, few seasons of regular football at Hudds & Brighton and then off for a big China pay day. Nice work if you can get it

Today proved how little we will miss him. Will be a long way behind the current crop of talent we have in midfield now.

I don"t think he will miss being here for long. Shanghai in Asian Champions League If/when it resumes in group with Sydney FC the A league premiers and champions ,so will get a free trip home to see family . Playing with a good Austrian talent and very handy Brazilians under a former Porto coach who won titles in Portugal and Greece will be better than another "lets try and avoid relegation" scenario.

He did a job in a season where we felt we needed an experienced player to bridge the gap in the development of younger players like Alzate and Molumby. Personally, I didn't think Mooy was used in an effective manner and I don't think we got the best out of him over the course of the season. Which was a waste of his ability. I'm not disappointed to see him leave.

I think maybe he knew this was happening after they tried in January and after that his form dropped off. Good move for him and one he must have wanted with the clause in his contract

Will get an amazing pay day and I wish him well, but please don't compare the football.
