A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Diosgyor will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Álex Vallejo 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.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Krisztian Gazdag 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.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Csaba Szatmári was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Diosgyor have made the call to MTK Budapest. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Diosgyor may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Words at Diosgyor training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ákos Kecskés 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.
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
Successful dribbles: 13. 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.
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Fehervar? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Honved in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Diosgyor know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
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.
Álex Vallejo 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.
15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Ákos Kecskés 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.
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Fehervar in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
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.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Midtjylland have kept their man, and Diosgyor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Roland Nagy 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.
5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
$1.0M was the most the club would pay and Diosgyor 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.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mariano Gómez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Janos Lisztes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Janos Bese 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.
In brief
Player ratingsCallum O'Dowda was on a different afternoon to everybody else
Diosgyor close the window on a squad of their own making
12 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Anderson Esiti was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Shakhtar have kept their man, and Diosgyor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Add another name to the list: Ferencvaros have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Marco Lund. The answer from Diosgyor has not changed — yet.
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Bence Babos has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Callum O'Dowda provided it, and the 9.43 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Moha is living that version at Ferencvaros, and it tends to show in the first month.
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Ferencvaros have 4 straight wins of it.

Deadline passes with 17 signed and 5 gone
That is the business done at Ferencvaros until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.
Ferencvaros asked and Vasas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Ferencvaros have gone to Diosgyor 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.
$250.0K on the table at Ujpest. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Mariano Gómez 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.
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Gábor Megyeri: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Diosgyor can pretend not to have heard.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Puskas Akademia have kept their man, and Diosgyor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.
Aboubakar Keïta 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.
