SEMTEX Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Aaron Mooy is a 20 year old defensive midfielder. Takes a terrific set piece, very good positionally, never loses the ball, keeps the side ticking over So this guy is 25, and signed for Man City from Melbourne City (who they own). Immediately loaned out to Huddersfield. Someone explain this to me please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Also, last year Man City signed Luke Brattan from Brisbane Roar, immediately loaned him out to Bolton (didn't play a single game). They have now loaned him out to Melbourne City for the season. I'd like to see exactly how these shenanigans work financially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why funnel money to Australia? Makes no sense FFP wise, so it must be more of a tax swindle. I just wonder why it's advantageous to funnel it to Australia. Or maybe it's just difficult to directly fund an Australian club, so they do this instead? Fuck knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 They did it with some Caceres fella even more blatantly On 15 January 2016, Caceres was sold (from Central Coast Mariners) to Premier League club Manchester City on a long-term contract for fee in the region of AUS$300,000. He was immediately loaned out to their A-League partner, Melbourne City. Caceres' move to Melbourne City sparked some controversy, given that transfer fees are not allowed to be paid directly between A-League clubs.

Stifler Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mccormack confirmed to a Villa on 4 year deal. Not sure if it's a new Championship record transfer though How much did Rhodes go for? Ritchie is the Championship record. McCormack equals it, but could rise another £2m based on app arranges though. But then if the number of appearances happen after Villa get promoted (assuming they do) then surely it no longer applies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ba scored like 15 goals before January for us when he left but most of them were goals that were meaningless because they were consolation goals when we already lost. That's absolute rubbish He scored 4 goals for us when we were on the losing team. One against Arsenal to make it 1-1. One against Arsenal to make it 3-3 (same game). One to make 1-2 against Man City with 40 minutes left of the game. Only consolation goal he scored for us was to make it 1-2 in the last minute vs Swansea The rest he scored we won or drew. You can't chat s*** like that man and present it as gospel Aye. Was going to say that was nonsense. What he is saying is more pertinent for teams that tend to win a lot and have someone scoring 3rd and 4th goals a lot. There was 1 season where Kalou got something like 12 goals for Chelsea (they won the league that year). Most felt like 3rd and 4th goals (they also broke the scoring record that year).
