Market

Auckland FC come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Melbourne City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Melbourne City sign Ben Warland for $110.0K

The paperwork is done: Ben Warland joins from Brisbane Roar in a deal worth $110.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Tempers go at Melbourne City

Patrick Beach 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.

Transfer targets

Melbourne City make their move for Diesel Herrington

$30.0K on the table at Central Coast Mariners. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

An offer of $25.0K for Andriano Lebib

Melbourne City have gone to Perth Glory with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Melbourne City rebuffed over Layton Stewart

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

Market

Sydney FC are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Melbourne City will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Kayne Razmovski signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kayne Razmovski commits to Melbourne City for another 3 years.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Melbourne City

8 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.

Transfer targets

Arminia Bielefeld tell Melbourne City: Jeredy Hilterman 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.

Market

Fulham come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Melbourne City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Takeshi Kanamori attracts admirers

The name of Takeshi Kanamori has come up in conversations Melbourne City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Hayden Matthews

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

Squad

Awer Mabil signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Awer Mabil and Melbourne City agree another 4 years.

Transfer targets

Melbourne City bid $110.0K 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Melbourne City

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

Market

Jamie Walsh steps up from the Melbourne City academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jamie Walsh 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.
