I notice, ex Stokie, Vass was not in the Hungary squad last night. A year back he was pretty much a regular fixture in the side. Anyone know if his absence was down to injury, loss of form or any other reason?

He wasn't playing because Tony Pulis broke his spirit.

He is in and out of the Brescia team at the minute. And Hungary have a new manager that may not want to play him so I wouldn't write him off yet!

I just knew bayern would come up with some good info. Did Brescia get promoted last summer? I know I should know the answer but I am ashamed to say that I don't.

No they didn't, I don't know how well they're doing this season but I'll check.

I'd have thought he would have been world player of the year by now, I always thought Norbert Zsivoczky was the better bet.

They're mid-table but only 5 points off the top. They narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season.

No he was pipped into third place by Vincent Periwinkle (2nd) and Paul Williams (1st) H It was that promising youngster with a devastating (ly bad) range of passing, Dave Brammer, who kept him out of the first team picture for the most part wasn't it  |

rawli - what are you on about? If you think I didn't rate Vass you couldn't be wider of the mark. I watched him in a couple of games for the Academy and watched the video of his debut for Hungary and (like Bayern above) was very impressed. I also met him a couple of times and had a chat - the last time was after he made his one appearance on the bench for the first team. I was gutted when he chose to leave.  If he has lost his Hungary place then I am surprised. If he had stayed I hope he would have been getting a few starts by now. I thought he had a great future - so I think it is too early to say we did well to allow him to go. Certainly he was/is ten times the player little Ant is. |

rawli - I've read my first post again and it doesn't read like a dig to me. Bayern and I had quite a bit of correspondence at the time about how good we thought Vass was. If he had stayed we'd probably have volunteered to be secretary and treasurer of his fan club. ;D

For young players who move between countries without an agreed transfer fee there is a UEFA formula used to decide on the compensation. I don't know what it is but I do remember reading that it wasn't very much. £200k ish or something of that order.

I think the official site may be ever so slightly out of date on the subject of Vass's compo. |

Where is mongo? Mongo stated that this guy would be a international regular for Hungary, oh dear oh dear, wrong again

Padders, I am sure Vass will become a regular in Italy and on the international front. I had the pleasure of living with both Norbert and Vassy, and Norbert was the better player. In fact he was the most skillful player I have ever seen. Vass had the simplicity effect tho. Everything he did was simple and effective. Remember Adam Fekete, lived with him too. Great lad but unfortunately my wife is a better footballer! Norbert still plays for Ferencvaros and is doing very well!

Vass has played 4 times for Hungary in this campaign so I think that evaluation is tad unfair Padders! And at the age of 20 has 11 caps!

I have found out the reason he didn't play last night. They have 2 better players currently in that position apparently.

Why did Norbert leave and go back to Hungary?

Post by ukstoke1 on Nov 20, 2008 21:06:12 GMT
Because his attitude was all wrong!! He wouldnt try. When Stoke signed him, nothing was too much for Stoke. They paid for everything for him and his parents. They even signed Adam Fekete to help him settle in. (Used him really) Stoke really thought they had unearthed an amazing Gem and thought he was going to be a world beater. Unfortunately women were more important to him!

Lakeland, can we have an update on Anthony Pulis, the midfielder we kept rather than Vass, as well please, you pompous get. Anthony Pulis is house hunting and was looking at a house that has a shared drive at a cost of £315,000 but one without a shared drive was around £350,000. This was a little too much due to Anthony having to take a wage drop due to joining Southampton but his dad had offered to help him out. Useless info but at least it's the truth and you did ask. |
