Aaron Mooy on a free?

Been in China I think. Would be a decent signing, and probably Payero’s replacement. Assume he knows McGree.
Decent set piece or goal record I seem to recall? I've not looked up his stats.

Ticks a few boxes for me.

Better than Crooks? Compete with Howson? Squad filler?
 
Funny cos I was just thinking about him the other day.
He was playing for Australia (after quite a lengthy absence I believe) and I wondered whether he was keeping Mcree out of the team?
Surprised he signed for a Chinese club when still relatively young?
Suppose a little bit closer to home than the UK??????

Money and he's at the tail end of his career.

He was apparently on £100,000 a week in Shanghai, much more than he'll have been on at Brighton.
 
Top player, hope it happens. The difference between signing Mooy and Gayle is
Mooy has played consistently for club and country, Gayle has hardly kicked a ball for 2 year. If CW wants him that's fine by me, if not we get someone else.

Watched him in Australia v Peru — deffo Aussies best asset but I’m not too sure if he’s willing to plod through another championship season. Not to mention Gibbo wouldn’t sanction a move for Gayle so I can’t see how another 30 something midfielder will be viewed by SG.
 
He was decent for a couple of seasons. I'm not sure if he's 'dynamic' or mobile enough for Wilder. He had a good range of passing and the odd worldie in him.

He's like a poor man's Shelvey 😂

Although I'm not sure as a free agent he'd drop form 100k to 20k or less a week? He's certainly made a few quid.

Well he's just resigned one, a 34 year old midfielder called Johnny Howson, so suspect the whole "over 30" thing is pure paper talk.

Mooy is a free agent and has played regularly for years, Gayle isn't and hasn't.
