Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Sam Sutton

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Newcastle Jets have done the hard part with Perth Glory, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

$87.0K settles it between the clubs for Lawrence Wong

Melbourne City have accepted the money. What Newcastle Jets do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Boardroom

Newcastle Jets go back to the board over Lawrence Wong

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $100.1K — a club that wants Lawrence Wong enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Zach Clough signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zach Clough and Newcastle Jets agree another 3 years.

Transfer targets

Leicester City tell Newcastle Jets: Stevie Bausor is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle Jets

Daniel Wilmering 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Zach Clough

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

Market

One of our own: Reece King joins the Newcastle Jets first team

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

Market

Tim Collins steps up from the Newcastle Jets academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Tim Collins has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
