Match

Bence Lisztes wins it after the whistle should have gone

93 minutes played. Bence Lisztes found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Honved went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market

Haladas say no — this time

The offer from Ferencvaros for Laszlo Sallai was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Not going: Andras Varga stays at Haladas

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Radnicki 1923 had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Peter Szalai attracts admirers

The name of Peter Szalai has come up in conversations Haladas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dominik Kocsis

Haladas asked and Debrecen said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Haladas

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

Player ratings

Laszlo Sallai was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Business is business: Marton Lisztes goes

Fehervar paid $490.0K and Haladas took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match

Haladas find a way past Honved

Honved made Haladas work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Not going: Bence Lisztes stays at Haladas

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Wisla Krakow had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Genoa come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Barna Kesztyűs gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Barna Kesztyűs has just signed for Haladas, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Marius Corbu arrives at Haladas in a $1.2M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Haladas have paid $1.2M for Marius Corbu, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Transfer targets

Milan Stamenković is a medical away from Haladas

The deal with Radnik Surdulica is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Pál Helmich rejects the move

Haladas had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Ujpest, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Norbert Orban signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Norbert Orban and Haladas agree another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Norbert Orban 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.

Market

Marton Lisztes attracts admirers

The name of Marton Lisztes has come up in conversations Haladas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match

Norbert Orban leads the rout of Vasas

3‑0, and Norbert Orban took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Haladas tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Norbert Orban scores twice — 9.47

Two goals and a mark of 9.47 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Bence Gergényi arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Bence Gergényi has, at Haladas, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Veres come back empty-handed

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

Market

Andrea Martinelli attracts admirers

The name of Andrea Martinelli has come up in conversations Haladas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

Haladas make their move for Marius Corbu

$1.2M on the table at Ferencvaros. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Norbert Orban in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Haladas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Istvan Varga 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.

The terraces

Haladas supporters have found a favourite in Norbert Orban

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Norbert Orban has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
