Market

The unthinkable, invoiced: Dániel Lukács sold

Kazincbarcika arrived with $2.2M and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Squad

A fracture rules Artem Favorov out for 44 days

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

The terraces

A $2.2M sale, and a town that did not want it

Dániel Lukács has gone, the accounts have $2.2M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Transfer targets

Puskas Akademia agree $75.0K for Dávid Kálnoki-Kis

The clubs have shaken hands with Budafoki MTE; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Puskas Akademia turn down Diosgyor for Martin Kern

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

Transfer targets

An offer of $800.0K for Bence Tóth

Puskas Akademia have gone to Szeged-Csanád GA 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.

Boardroom

Puskas Akademia go back to the board over Bence Tóth

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $834.4K — a club that wants Bence Tóth enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Laros Duarte 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 Puskas Akademia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Puskas Akademia rebuffed over Sandali Condé

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

Squad

51 days out for Artem Favorov after a fracture

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

Market

Dániel Lukács says no to Honved

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Dániel Lukács had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

The terraces

Puskas Akademia sell a favourite for $620.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Joel Fameyeh was one of the reasons people came, and $620.0K does not replace that by itself.

Squad

Filip Vasiljević 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. Filip Vasiljević has, at Puskas Akademia, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Zsolt Nagy yet — 8.21

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.21 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Szentlőrinc come back empty-handed

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

Market

Dominik Csóka asks to leave Puskas Akademia

“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.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Puskas Akademia — 7.99

1 for Laros Duarte, marked 7.99, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Transfer targets

Kevin Gadellaa’s move to Puskas Akademia collapses on the table

Fee agreed, terms agreed, and a scan that said otherwise. He goes back to Utrecht; Puskas Akademia go back to the market; and both will insist there is no story here.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Artem Favorov out for 58 days

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

Market

Kecskeméti TE come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

Puskas Akademia agree $1.4M for Dominik Csóka

The clubs have shaken hands with Ajka; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Transfer targets

Puskas Akademia rebuffed over Patrik Demjén

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

Transfer targets

Veljko Vojvodić due for a Puskas Akademia medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Benjamin Sikosek turns down Puskas Akademia

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: NK Domzale keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Zsolt Nagy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zsolt Nagy and Puskas Akademia agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Puskas Akademia

Dániel Lukács 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.

Squad

Joel Fameyeh wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Puskas Akademia know it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Artem Favorov breaks a bone — 65 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 65 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Joel Fameyeh puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Puskas Akademia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Puskas Akademia turn down Budafoki MTE for Laros Duarte

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

Squad

A career in one shirt: Zsolt Nagy

14 seasons and 301 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Transfer targets

Puskas Akademia rebuffed over Žan Medved

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

Squad

Wojciech Golla signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Wojciech Golla commits to Puskas Akademia for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Puskas Akademia

Zsolt Nagy 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.

Market

Szentlőrinc watching Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Puskas Akademia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Still no ink between Puskas Akademia and Wojciech Golla

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Puskas Akademia, another week without a signature from Wojciech Golla.

In brief
