Market7 Sep 2026
Sydney FC turn down Wellington Phoenix for Adam Craig
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Window shuts: 18 in, 1 out at Sydney FC
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 18 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Sydney FC go back to the board over Joey Garuccio
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $16.1K — a club that wants Joey Garuccio enough to be asked twice.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
No deal for Nathan Amanatidis at that price
Sydney FC offered $22.0K; Brisbane Roar said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
Market7 Sep 2026
Eyes on Zachary De Jesus again
The phone has started ringing about Zachary De Jesus again, and this time the name on the line is Newcastle Jets. Sydney FC are listening politely and promising nothing.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Wataru Kamijo in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sydney FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Too much change too quickly at Sydney FC
11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Adam Bugarija is no longer first choice
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Adam Bugarija has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Lawrence Wong moves up the pecking order
Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Sydney FC than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.
In brief
- Market Still no ink between Sydney FC and Adam Craig
- Market Sydney FC put Lachlan Middleton up for sale
- The dugout Wataru Kamijo keeps his manager's vote
