    Might not, but he doesn’t strike me as a guy that doesn’t know what he’s doing judging by prior evidence.

    Kris commons also and he done us a turn for seasons scoring some very important goals. For all his faults, he was a winner with us.

    Never said that.

    We’ve saw the fruits of Ange signing players he’s either worked with before or has fully assessed.

    I think as guys like @Tony Ralston have said, we need to trust the manager’s decision. He’s done more than enough to earn some respect, in that respect…

    I wonder if we just haven't been able to land any of our top CDM targets and Ange is thinking that Mooy on a 1 year deal is a good stopgap.

    If this ends up being true, i’d blame the board more than ange. We’re a champions league team now, we don’t need players from the Chinese super league who are a bawhair from retirement.

    He's good as a CDM but in ways similar to how McGregor's good in that position. Controlling the game, being able to receive the ball under pressure, smart, incisive passing. He's the type of player who will pick out Kyogo's and other's runs better than just about anybody in our squad.

    He's obviously not some destroyer though and also not hugely mobile (although seems to have reasonable stamina) which is what would concern me against better opposition.

    I think Souza could have been great, but there was a reason half of Europe seemed to be after him. Players with his physical profile who are also well-rounded and strong technically, don't tend to grow on trees in our price range.

    He has an eye for a player but lets not forget extending Griffiths, Bain & Forrest assuming he had a say. Or is Mooy a board signing like it is rumoured McCarthy is?

    If i’m honest, aslong as we signing a young and promising CDM i couldn’t care less. He can play second fiddle

    It just looks a lazy, convenient signing for me..

    He's 32 in a couple of week's and barely played in China for the last couple year's overall..

    Now he's over here as his missus and weans are from here and Ange has taken him on a free..

    We needed a midfielder, preferably the 6....to take us ro the next level..

    This guy isn't it whatsoever..

    We'll go with it.....but I'm no impressed by this one at all..

    For the avoidance of doubt I think he will do ok for he's just not a player we need.

    Like I said before I'm hoping this has come out the blue and we still have others that we really need on the way

    He hasn't, but the rumours that we were interested in Souza seemed to be legit.

    I’m not saying I’m blown away by the signing, but lazy? I think big Ange is anything but lazy.

    Nor do I think the board can be accused of being lazy this season either.

    I trust the man.

    Joe harts a goalkeeper, they can play till late 30s easy, midfield players can’t play anywhere near that and are usually well past their best at the age Mooy is.

    Aye, it’s not a patch on the Chinese league, just full of top players in their prime.

    Aye, but 31 is hardly a “bawhair away from retirement”
