Coming off contract at the end of the season, looking for a few extra games, how about a permanent move to Melbourne instead of a loan. Could fit in well and replace Musket’s likely retirement. As a Melbourne fan, one can dream.
Moore is vital to the Roar and they really need to focus on keeping him and building a team around him. For a guy who has equalled, if not surpassed the, success Muskat has seen; its dissapointing the club and fans dont seem to have the same association and affection with Moore as those in Melbourne do with Muskat. If Queensland can keep their captain a season or two and try and emulate the the marketing the Victory has performed, it might go a long way to bringing the fans back to Suncorp. At his best, I’d still rate Moore as our best centre back we currently have.
