Maybe deserves his own thread - Hungarian journo reporting it as "close"?

It would seem so.
Definitely an out there name.
But has a decent goal record.

Do we think this is our new centre forward, or a Campbell replacement?

He’s got double figures for the last three seasons (2 in Hungary and 1 in Greece)

Am I the only one that thought the thread title must be riddled with typos?
How do you pronounce Mmaee?

His YouTube compilation, apart from a few missed sitters, looks impressive... not that they can be trusted entirely.

19 goals in 50 games for AEL Limassol. For an idea of the standard, a certain Saido Berahino has scored 4 in 28 for the same team. I was looking up Ferencvaros to try and get a sense of their level and found myself looking at their stadium, which is quite nice. They have a, erm, bold statue of their first president outside. I don't anticipate a similar statue of Peter Coates any time soon.

So glad the work permit rules got changed to allow Championship clubs to explore non-uk players, makes the transfer window so much more interesting! This would come under a very surprising striker, that was mentioned yesterday I am guessing

Definitely seems to be an eye-catching player for journos

Maybe deserves his own thread - Hungarian journo reporting it as "close"? this journo looks to be very reliable too. This is the most exciting signing we've made since Vidigal 😉

I've just seen that statue and Peter Coates mentioned. I've just had a vision and now can't unsee it.
Thanks.
I wonder if this was the player I caught a glimpse of at CW yesterday?

This is the most exciting signing we've made since Vidigal 😉 Yes that fact that the journo is followed by Fabrizio Romano should add a level of reliability, as he is the best transfer specialist going and does not seem the type to follow random people.

As the kids would say, based on his youtube, he's a..... baller.
Graceful mover, ability, likes to drift wide. Definitely not a target man though.

I’m getting a little tingle in the nether regions which is something that doesn’t happen too often at my age. Some, in fact most, of these signings are so far removed from the ‘run around like a headless chicken and twat it up to a big lump’ kind of signings I was expecting I’m getting quite excited. I’m sure I’ll come down to Earth with a bump in typical Stoke fashion on the 5th August.

How do you pronounce his name? If it’s anything like Mammy then there’s a ready made song for him.

Interesting that all these foreign targets seem to have been ok for permits, even under the old regime. You apparently need 15 points to get one.
So still wild card slots open.
Over to you, Jared!
Vidigal - 19 Bayram 15 Mmaee - 20

Do we think this is our new centre forward, or a Campbell replacement? If we are looking for more of a hold-up, target type too, the Campbell sale radar is definitely tingling. Vidi, Chiqi and Brown can play wide, can't they? In terms of the 4-3-3, don't know whether the plan would be for Mmaee to lead the line with the 2 Portuguese lads either side though - or how often we'd go with the target man? Are we expecting this bloke to cost £2-3m?
