Watching the game last night this lad stood out for the ozzies. Thought he looked good on the ball and quite industrious in the marney mould. Looked bett the jedinak last night. aNy ozzy clarets seen much of him? What's the league standard like now?

He's one of the big fish in the A League. Started at Bolton, went to St Mirren and has been playing for the bigger clubs in the A League since. Seems to fairly regularly be rumoured with a move back to Europe but standing out in the A League and cutting it in the Prem are different things. He did have a decent-ish game last night though. He's twenty five and has already been in Europe, you'd think if he was good enough he'd have been brought over again by now.

Yeah didn't know much about him other than seeing him first hand last night. Was probably the stand out centre midfielder

Agreed, he was probably their best player. They were poor though, I thought. He seemed to get around a bit and had that bit of extra time on the ball.

Plays for Melbourne City, owned by Manchester City. Definitely one of their stand out players. Very strong rumours that he's going to leave this close season, with somewhere in Europe his destination. Not a lot of money would be needed to acquire his services, probably less than a half a million.
Some other Melbourne Clarets could tell you more. I think it's aussieclaret who's a season ticket holder for city.

Nice one rammy

I watch a fair bit of the A league and he is a stand out player. Doubt he'd be good enough for the prem though - Berisha was very recently putting A league defenders to the sword just to give you a idea of the standard. It is getting better but you'd hope we'd be in for someone a lot better.

Might be worth a look as back up in middle then if he is going cheap. Didn't look out of place yesterday .

"Agreed, he was probably their best player. They were poor though, I thought."

What was the score again ???

"Poor team holds England to 2-1 result just prior to Euros." ????

Having watched the A-League for the last 5/6 years, in my opinion (regardless of how he did in the friendly), Mooy is not of the standard we should be looking at.

I don't like two vowels so close in a surname it just isn't right

Yeah, should drop Rooney.

How bad are we then cos they out passed us and had more possession we looked awful it was like a scrappy 2-1 win over a team better than us

So Heaton, Keane, Mee, Barton, Arfield have the wrong surnames then

Like many on here (possibly...) I've started looking at Central midfielders in every match on TV. I thought Mooy looked very industrious and covered a lot of ground, he certainly stood out from the Aussie team and had me wondering if he could do a job for us. Seems like his career has drifted since Bolton - although perhaps it's actually taken a step up eh? Either way, I'm sure SD has eyes everywhere and with money not so much of an issue, we probably don't need to be trying to scoop £1/2m bargains from across the globe. Looking forward to hearing who our targets are. An exciting time to be a Claret.

Australia were poor, England were poor. It was a poor game.

Thought I'd dig this up now that Mooy has signed for Man City:

Has had two very good years in a league I reckon is probably league one level on balance. Sure to go out on loan, we're thin in that area and can't imagine cost would be that high. Worth a punt?

Where's KRBFC When you need him ECC? He might label me an Australian football expert now with this scouting!

Screamer today vs Leeds to keep Huddersfield 4 points clear.

Having a fine season at Hudds by all accounts.

Yep has looked very good so far.

Class winning goal today!

Have him and Richard Chaplow ever been seen in the same room together?

Class act. Stunning build up. Just the kind of thing we need

Maybe we'll be able to get him when Huddersfield are in the Championship next season.

Mooy is excellent. That's the type of movement and goal I want to see more of from Hendrick, he's certainly capable!

He will score more. Works hard.
SD type.

I thought Scouts were supposed to "be prepared"

I am sure it only cost me a tenner for a ticket for that game!

I should have put "our" Scouts.

CFC
I think "our" Scouts get paid 2 Twix and a blast on the dry powder.

I think you see more games In Europe than them!
