[Albion] Aaron Mooy *** SIGNED on ONE YEAR LOAN DEAL ***

[darkwolf666]

The thing that concerns me is his motivation. On the assumption and hope he does well with us, he's put himself in an awkward position because for us to keep him will take a big fee, given he'll have 2 years left on his contract. Presumably the sell on clause City placed on the deal remains in tact so Huddersfield will need to add a premium to any fee to negate that. If Huddersfield don't get promoted, he goes back to them a Championship (or League 1, frankly, their squad is crap) club he's going to be stuck.

I'm not in any way shape or form blown away by this signing but I have faith in the vision of the club. I'll be sad to see Beram Kayal leave as a consequence, Hughton's first signing when he took over all those years ago!

Strange one isn’t it. If Mooy had run down his contract he could then move on a “free”, meaning City would have got nothing!

Seen quite a few Everton, Liverpool and Man U fans saying that they would have taken him.

 

[Arkwright]

Im confident we'll see a lot of him, on the contrary

Totally agree, he could play the Propper roll with Stephens and Propper could easily play the number ten roll. Great options in the squad.

 

[BensGrandad]

I wonder if GP will start with either Stephens or Propper as DM and either Gross or Mooy as AM with the other 2 on the bench for when needed.during a game.

Initially underwhelmed with the Mooy signing but he is exactly the type of midfielder we've needed, hard working & can get forward to help the attack. & he has 2 years prem experience, unlike most people we sign. So im on board now, welcome Aaron!

GREAT signing in my opinion.

If I were in charge he’d be the first name on the team sheet.

To be fair, that’s cos I’m anal and would do it in alphabetical order.

HTFC fans are distraught at the news, that tells me a lot, while a fan of our current midfield I think Mooy will end up a regular.

Great singing FS. It’s making my outer body senses even clearer.

Fantastic signing - the creative and more attacking midfielder we’ve been craving, and he has PL experience !

Those that bought the bald head caps to show their respect for Bruno can dust them off again now

Albion website: "Albion loan Mooy from Huddersfield". When did 'loan' replace 'borrow' as the correct verb in this context?

Yes, he is 'on loan' from Huddersfield, and they have loaned him to us, but we haven't done any loaning. We've borrowed him.

Maybe he'll reveal a great signing for the club and I'll have to say 'fair enough, he's come up trumps'. I'm happy to bet you that doesn't happen.

FWIW - he broke the Hemed/Kayal story this morning.

I couldn't agree more...current cm's completely overrun in the second half of last season. Gives us some bite and I really hope he is in the starting 11

Glad to know I'm not the only one who cares.

That's been doing my head in for a few years. Almost given up now.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Great addition to the squad! Tremendous competitor

Their are less and less people who can right properly.

Doesn't borrow suggest it's free. Hire would maybe be a better word.

Yeah borrowed sounds like a free favour. Maybe "taken on loan"?
