David Villa- Melbourne City [A-League]

Not too much to say here; Australia’s A-League begins play in October. Villa is in the offseason until then. The connection between New York City FC and Melbourne City FC is obvious; both are owned by Manchester City. However, it’s curious that Villa was sent to an organization that will only be able to offer him half the playing time of his teammates, all of whom are already in season with their respective loan clubs.

This was the first player round up; we will be keeping a monthly eye on NYCFC players on loan until they all come home in the beginning of January.
