Market

Nathan Lobo has said yes to WaiBOP United

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Auckland City have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

The view from the top for Auckland City

28 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Market

Alfie Rogers asks to leave Auckland City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Real improvement from Jeremy Foo at Auckland City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jeremy Foo is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

David Yoo 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 Auckland City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A late step up for Nikko Boxall

At 35 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Arion Sulemani

Auckland City asked and Melbourne City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Matt Ellis falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nathan Lobo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nathan Lobo, and the manager let it.

In brief

Squad

Gerard Garriga damages knee ligaments — 107 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 107 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Regont Murati has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Auckland City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Paris Domfeh keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Auckland City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Auckland City

David Yoo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Matt Ellis falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mario Ilich

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mario Ilich, and the manager let it.
