Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Daniel Arzani

Giorgos Vrakas 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.

Michael Ruhs 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.

Transfer targets

Brisbane Roar rebuffed over Angus Thurgate

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luke Clark is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

No place for Benjamin Halloran in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Brisbane Roar are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
