Squad

A fracture rules Dávid Bobál out for 83 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Haladas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Laszlo Nagy, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Haladas turn down Obolon for Szabolcs Dibusz

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

4 matches without a win for Haladas

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Haladas are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Viktor 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Laszlo Nagy

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Pavić 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.

Match

Laszlo Nagy rescues a point for Haladas

It needed Laszlo Nagy to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against MTK Budapest, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Norbert Bese on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Norbert Bese after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Market

Haladas sell their best player to Vasas

$7.2M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Squad

112 days out for Dávid Bobál after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Haladas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Adam Lang scores twice — 8.94

Two goals and a mark of 8.94 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Honved 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.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $7.2M sale of Laszlo Nikolic

He is going to Vasas, the club has $7.2M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Andras Nikolic asks to leave Haladas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Viktor Gulacsi attracts admirers

The name of Viktor Gulacsi 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 Bálint Faragó

$180.0K on the table at Vasas. 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 $120.0K for Márk Gyetván

Haladas have gone to Paksi 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.

Player ratings

Andras Szoboszlai was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 46. 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.

Squad

Dávid Bobál breaks a bone — 120 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 120 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Haladas sell their best player to Diosgyor

$860.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market

Andras Szoboszlai has said yes to Puskas Akademia

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Haladas have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Haladas

A 2‑5 beating by Honved was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Haladas turn down Ferencvaros for Adam Lang

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Istvan Nikolic turns Ruch down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $860.0K sale of Andras Szalai

He is going to Diosgyor, the club has $860.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Transfer targets

Ferencvaros tell Haladas: Mariano Gómez 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.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Laszlo Szoboszlai leads the rout of Vasas

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

Market

Slovacko 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

Laszlo Nikolic wants more than Haladas are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Transfer targets

An offer of $550.0K for Olivér Tamás

Haladas have gone to Paksi 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Haladas

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Viktor Gulacsi

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Eyes on Istvan Nikolic again

The phone has started ringing about Istvan Nikolic again, and this time the name on the line is Ruch. Haladas are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Adam Lang at his very best

Marked 8.64. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Haladas.

Player ratings

Laszlo Szoboszlai was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.02. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
