not sure if in this transfer window or next, but it looks like the jerks are re-signing ruben zadkovich for 3 years on an undisclosed wage which includes captaincy of the team, and hence jobe is on the outer. apparently jobe has already been lined up by heart.

seriously underrated player, jobe is. while i absolutely love rubez, jobe is one of our best players and is a local (plus a foundation player). seems an odd move by the jerks, we will regret it for sure.

Interesting. Out of curiosity, what is Jobe actually good at? My only memory of him is an absolute wonder goal a few seasons ago

Jobe had bags of potential when he was young, unfortunately injury has ruined his career. Now he struggles to string more than like 6 games together, which is a shame because when he's in form, he is a good player. Sooooooooo glad if he leaves though, he's been rubbish and Zads is far better atm.

I heard Zadko was heading to the Wanderers.

Thats sentimental rubbish, yeah he's home grown, yeah he's been at the club for years but he is rubbish. Can string passes together doesn't offer anything but back passes. I don't know how he's stayed at the club for this long.

heiny - i think us offering captaincy to rubez was the deal-clincher so he wouldn't go to wsw.

how anyone can watch jobe and not rate him, i don't understand. he's tough&physical, he's one of the best switchers in the whole league, he's got a good rocket goal in him a season. plus we recently had an article written on us about how we were proud to have so many locals in the squad, so it seems odd we're moving on our local captain + foundation player. look at the games he's been out this season - we haven't won many/any. he's such an important player

‎Newcastle Jets Captain Jobe Wheelhouse has left the Jets effective immediately. Has been linked with a move to Melbourne Heart FC.

This

Wheelhouse had the skill, injury just ruined him. Still the right move for the jets... now to get rid of some of the other dead wood - i.e. Pepper

Would be a great signing for Heart. Top Player.
