Squad

The knee: Joe Lolley out for 32 days

32 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Newcastle Jets lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets

Wellington Phoenix tell Newcastle Jets: Isaac Hughes 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

Words exchanged at Newcastle Jets

Joe Lolley and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Max Cooper is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Newcastle Jets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. James Delianov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Yvann Konan is in the works

Newcastle Jets have made the call to Olympique Lyonnais. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

The knee: Joe Lolley out for 39 days

39 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Newcastle Jets lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Henry Blackledge gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Henry Blackledge has just signed for Newcastle Jets, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets

Sami Bouhoudane will not be coming to Newcastle Jets

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at PSV is saying, and nobody at Newcastle Jets is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Newcastle Jets walk away from Adam Mitchell

$530.0K was the most the club would pay and Auckland City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

A falling-out at Newcastle Jets

Joe Lolley and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Newcastle Jets bid $160.0K for Ben Warland

The offer went to Brisbane Roar this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Newcastle Jets rebuffed over Trofim Melnichenko

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Porto have kept their man, and Newcastle Jets go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Lachlan Rose 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.

Market

Talks stall between Newcastle Jets and Zach Clough

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Joe Lolley damages knee ligaments — 46 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 46 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

Richard Nkomo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Newcastle Jets, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Henry Blackledge turns down Newcastle Jets

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle Jets

Joe Lolley 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

A row about effort at Newcastle Jets

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nikos Vergos was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Stefan Crawford steps up from the Newcastle Jets academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stefan Crawford 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.

Market

Newcastle Jets promote Bradley Jones from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bradley Jones has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: David Price joins the Newcastle Jets first team

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

The dugout

Zach Clough knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Zach Clough trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
