AFTER weeks of speculation, Socceroos midfielder Luke Brattan’s move to glamour club Manchester City has been confirmed.
Fox Sports News on Monday night exclusively revealed the news, with the former Brisbane Roar playmaker linking with the EPL ladder-leaders on a four-year deal.
While it had been widely speculated that Brattan was being looked at by the City Group in a clever ploy to bring him back to the A-League for the Australian club in their stable, Melbourne City.
However, the Fox Sports News report revealed Brattan would instead be loaned out to Championship side Bolton.
The deal was confirmed just weeks after Brattan revealed during Socceroos camp in Jordan how he had been scouted while playing for the Roar in Melbourne.

Dude, you care more about city than 95% of this board. Just like tnbhoy cares more about rangers than 100% of this board.

The last two threads about City I started were back in May and April.
Sorry this move is well odd.
A 25 year old Aussie with no international caps, being singed then loaned to Bolton until he can then go to Melbourne or maybe NYCFC is shady as frick.

honest question: Why?
does this circumvent some sort of rule or something?

They probably wouldn't sell to Melbourne I'm guessing.
I'm not a fan of ownership groups owning teams in multiple countries and using them as minor league teams. Don't like the Red Bull thing either.

I'm not a fan of it either. It has the potential for really shady stuff. Like soccer isn't corrupt enough.

Not gonna lie, this does sound shady, but I'm assuming there isn't a rule against it. Companies, franchises and governments use loopholes all the time to do things they want to. I mean no one should really be surprised lol.

This isn't a new thing. City has done this for Girona in Spain.
