Adam Nagy

Recommended Posts

Nagy is not suited for the Championship I’ve always thought that to be the case. 
 

Nagy, Kalas and Wells all came here in the hope we would have enough for promotion or be close. However LJ and Holden proved that we don’t. 
 

Pearson has been tasked with a rebuild and that’s not what they signed on for

Nagy looks neat but not the sort you need for a 46 game battle, easily brushed aside and really does not make any difference where ever he plays. 
 

Kalas I’m convinced is pretty much yesterday’s man here. Three weeks for an offer to come in and I fully expect it!! 

Wells I like but I’ve always thought he regretted coming here from the moment LJ wanted to play him out of position. 
 

Semenyo. Will help when fit. But along with Bentley could still be subject to interest. 
 

I will reserve judgement on any level until EO October as we are very much work in progress and I’m still hopeful we will get stronger than many think we will, however much we feel that today was same old City snatching a draw from the jaws of victory!!

Feel sorry for the guy, joins under Johnson, covid hits, can't really get the chance to settle or do anything in his new home due to lockdown, has a child here, again no travel to see family with new child, Johnson goes Holden in, Holden out Pearson in. And a few injuries to boot. What a shit life  experience for the guy.

 

He will go with my best wishes, it looks like fate transpired against the poor bugger. I really liked him as a player. All the best Adam.

There are lots of things that go on behind the scenes that us fans don't see and it may well be the case that Nagy found it hard to settle and we never saw the best of him.

However, i still fail to see what his main strengths are as a central midfielder? He hasn't got the passing range to dominate a game, he doesn't score (many) goals and he struggles physically. He runs around alot but give me £15k a week and i would run around alot!

I hope we can move him on and use the money for an attacking player which is desperately needed

He is a deep lying playmaker, build from the back neat and tidy. Not the kind of player you see in the Championship but very common in Europe.

He was basically signed as a more mobile Marlon Pack.

I just dont see it Marco... Marlon had a much better passing range and can handle himself physically. Maybe, as you say, he's more suited to other leagues in Europe but i just don't see what his main strengths are?

Nagy can dictate a game which Pack wasn't able to do. Where everything starts and goes through him, unfortunately he wasn't able to cope With the physicality of the league and played out of his position as a cm or cam. He is a sitting midfield in a 3 and nothing else.

I've got nothing against Nagy and i feel he always gave his best but i dont feel he has the quality to dictate a game in The Champ. Players like Barry Bannan, Ryan Woods and Alex Mowatt can do it but Nagy doesnt have that in his game.

We have had many worse players than him over the years but if we receive a reasonable offer then its an easy decision for me.

I’ve said in other thread, I can see Nagy, Kalas and Wells going, three of the bigger earners and valuable assets at the club. NP doesn’t rate them. 

Don't think it is that he doesn't rate them, NP has said that he doesn't like big differences in wages between the players. Like you said 3 of the bigger earners.

Shame as he is a very talented player, think he's going to end up being a casualty of the car crash the clubs been over the last 12 months or so.

He was probably sold the dream when he signed of an imminent promotion to the Prem and instead he's ended up seeing a revolving door in the managers office, a sub-standard medical department and the most unsettled team you could imagine. On the back of the Euros he had he could probably get a move to the Bundesliga, Serie A etc albeit not at any of the bigger clubs and if he hasn't settled here then fair enough.

Hopefully we can get around 1 - 1.5m for him and reinvest it back into the squad, same goes for Kalas unfortunately.

Gutted, another in the long list of not utilised here Really don't get what the poor sod has to do to get anywhere with us.

quite simply, play better overall than he did for us over 2 seasons here.  Some glimpses of the firm he shows for Hungary.  Too many limp performances for me.

Massively proven international

undoubtedly, but it’s what he does for us isn’t it?

who has done everything asked and more, pissed about amd understandably wants a move.

On what basis has he been pissed around.  Re international stuff you might well argue we have bent over backwards to help him continue his international career, in his early, injured days….and even pre-Euros, letting him off the Brentford game to save him an injury so close to the tournament.  Selective memory, or do you know more?

Frustrating

yes, as it is when any signing doesn’t work out.  £2.25m and £16-18k p.w (allegedly).  I’m very interested to know what we might recoup on this one.

No great loss. 

He has had opportunities to cement his place in the starting line-up, and has failed to make the most of them. James, King, Williams, Bakinson, Massengo all now seem ahead of him in the queue. 

Money is required, and Nagy is considered a saleable asset. 

I hope we take the money and re-invest it appropriately. A striker is a must before the end of the window.

It does seem that Nagy has struggled to adapt to England (both on and off the pitch). A few good performance for us, but the majority of his appearances have been very "meh". I'm not too worried about losing his contributions. He's not a bad player, and I don't think it's due to lack of effort or commitment - it just hasn't worked out.

Central midfield probably is the one position in which we can sell without needing to buy a replacement. Hence, any money from a Nagy sale may be redirected elsewhere (to a striker or winger?). Not sure what kind of fee that might be - his price will likely have risen following the euros, and may now fall again if it's publicly known that he's asked to leave ?

Current climate means his price has fallen in my opinion. We paid 2 mil? Can't see us getting that back.

Difficult fee to judge because of wages too.  He might need to take a drop in wages too.  European football isn’t awash with money, well, not at the clubs likely to be after Adam.

For me his assetts are 1. A very good engine 2. The ability to position himself himself defensively.. one of those players that didn't need to run about all over the place making tackles he had tbe ability to plug holes and make interceptions through intelligent positional sense and very quick initial burst of pace.

 

Personally I think he is massively undervalued and brings something to the team many don't see, that said I think his particular talents are better suited to European football.  But if used properly and using his strengths I think he would and should of been a great player for us. Using him on the wing or as an attacking midfielder just seems plain ignorant on part of the managers and coaches.

If we can recoup 3/4 of the fee we paid, then considering the financial climate, it wouldn't be a bad deal. 

The one big thing that will go in our favour, is that he had a decent Euro 2020, so that could help massively - maybe even help break even. 

He has never looked like one of the worse players on the pitch, but he has rarely made people sit up and take notice. Probably more a case of wrong player in the wrong team/squad, bit ultimately if he doesn't want to be here then at least by asking for a move, it means we don't have to pay up a chunk of his current contract. That is providing he gets a move....

Italy or France is my guess.

Completely disagree. Nagy is a runner not a sitter. His biggest attribute is his stamina which gets him around the pitch for 90 minutes.

He hasn't, and would never be able to dictate a game of Championship football, partly for the reason you state - his lack of physicality, and also his limited passing range, lack of vision, and lack of contribution in both boxes. 

Pack, on the other hand, did have those attributes. I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying he dictated many games for City  but he is certainly a much more effective Championship operator than Nagy.

Dsagree to an extent, he is a sitter  a great reader of the game who plugs holes that creative players try to pass through, what I do agree with is he used his pace and his athletic ability to do it. 

He can pass the ball around effectively to team mates, although does not have that raking ball that people may associate with the position he plays in.

 

For me he is a deep lying breaker up of play type player who spring the counter attack  very quickly, plugs the hole, feeds the likes of a bakinson, who gets the ball forward quickly.  I think (but I was never 100% sure) this is the game Johnson wanted to play but never really got it working. Unfortunately I don't see this type of player working in a Pearson team, I don't think it's the football he wants to play.

Not sure we saw the best of him, did he settle fully?

Better in a 3 (IMO), wondered if he could have played as a narrow yet wide player as late last season when he got a goal and 2 assists in a few games.

Decent player but just not physically strong enough to play centre midfield in the championship. 

Physique or technique in CM, the age old debate...Nagy anyway, not the most physical but good positionally at times- perhaps should have been moreso, best suited to a 3, reasonable technically, good at screening but overenergetic at times leaving holes- hard to pin down exactly.

How does he slot into a more possession based/looking to dominate with 3 in CM type side?

Or one where he plays e.g. in the role he did for Hungary, and vs good sides at that in the Euros.

Think he's a bit of a continuity type CM anyway, in the right side.

Hmm, my view is that he’s a good player; stating the obvious, you don’t get to international level if you’re not. 

However it seems he struggled to settle here and suffered some injuries (not alone there) so we only saw flashes of his ability. 

I have a degree of respect for him for saying that he wants to move away - it’s a clear position for the club and gives us a chance to get player(s) in that will contribute more in what’s left of the transfer window (assuming he moves on fairly quickly of course).

He is a sitter……for Hungary!

For City, he’s a runner, who allows himself to be sucked to the ball in an ill-disciplined way.  That’s a generalisation, as he has qualities too.  He’s rarely played the same way for city as he does for Hungary, albeit very different systems….which makes me continually question his suitability for City / Champ.

Agree. But thats not his fault, that is the coaches. When played in the correct position doing what he does best he has looked fantastic. Unfortunately our managers/coaches seem to think they know his best position!

The point is he SHOULD be a sitter for us. City have used him as a CAM and a wide attacker FFS he has been woefully managed by multiple managers.

Exactly this. I am sure Johnson bought him for the right position. He played him there the first few games. Then the coaches got their hands on him!

Not sure how to answer your comment s directly. But I just think….this division is a little bit too agricultural (I’m sure you get my drift) than what he needs to excel. 
 

I can see him in Italy or Spain doing well and getting on the ball and passing it. Even in the Prem. But here he looks like he offers little but a body with some touch. This can be said of HNM too. They are both in the wrong country in the wrong division, neither of whom offer so much as a shot on target for all their ability’s

Two international footballers, who recently shone at hr Euros............neither can get into the first team selection of the season.  Both obviously have ability, so does this say more about the standard of tactics and management at City, or is it more down to the individual players themselves?

I’ve always been a huge fan of Nagy, as others have said i think fait has transpired against him here with him and his partner probably feeling hugely isolated due to covid and not being able to travel home plus the injuries he has suffered along the way will have all unsettled him.
It’s a shame as he clearly has a lot of talent but i think to be quite frank he isn’t a Pearson player, he isn’t somebody Nigel would have signed so i think its best for both parties if we try and get what ever dough we can for him and move on.

The fairest assessment I have seen here. People forget that players are human with private lives, it's not all about ego as @harvey54 so crassly suggests.

We have never seen anything from him that suggests he doesn't want to play, there's plenty of effort when he gets on the pitch, and as far as we know he would be the same now, but Pearson quite rightly wants to focus on the longer term.

I’m not ITK on many things, but I do know (and have mentioned before on here) that before we signed Nagy we were in for Skuse back, who LJ wanted. That plays to the theory Nagy was bought as a DM, but also that he may have been a signing instigated by Mr Ashton…

I get all the detailed analysis and criticisms of players like Nagy, O’Dowda and Wells, but at the end of the day they’re experienced internationals, trusted as first picks by their international managers, two of whom have recent, decent experience of international competitions. If they’re not showing at a pretty average and currently struggling Championship club, I can’t help thinking that the problem is more with the club than the players.

He was in the top third as I understand it, not on as much as Kalas but with Weimann & Baker having renegotiated, probably now in the top five or six.

Will be easy to find another club for him if he’s half as good as some of the comments on here make him out to be. 
We shall see, had a good first few games for us but I can’t remember another game where I’ve walked away from the ground thinking he stood out. 
I think we have better players than him, a backup player, offload him and his wages.

Like Joe Morrell though, Nagy is a regular in a pretty average international team. Morrell got plenty of plaudits for his performances at the Euros too but has barely got a minute at two Championship clubs.

International tournament football is very different to the Championship. It's horses for courses in many ways.

If Nagy leaves us for another Championship club or for the Prem and performs we can say that the club have screwed up.

But he isn't, he'll be heading back to the continent, where his style of play is better suited.

Good luck to him.

I think unless he goes on to spectacular things and is regularly talked about he will be yet another play who in a couple of years time most of us will have forgotten he ever played for us. Rarely shone for us, or had a chance to shine. Injuries again hit him early in his career here and once out of the team only played a limited role. 

As others have said, he isn’t needed and I think we need a new Diedhiou more urgently.

A club of our our standing rarely gets the opportunity to sign such high quality talent and it should be a case of some regret within our management team they were unable to get the most out of him. 

"On 10 June 2016, Nagy was listed among the top 10 young talents at the Euro 2016. and includes football players such as Kingsley Coman, Julian Draxler, and Raphaël Guerreiro".

As to his future destination -"During the European Championship, Nagy attracted attention from clubs such as Benfica, Olympique de Marseille and Leicester City."

Question needs to be asked, will he be missed? No is the answer so it’s an easy sell, especially with minimal time remaining on contract. He has his pros but I think he will very quickly be forgotten, no disrespect intended

There are no “easy sells” unless you can get someone to buy.

Hopefully his agent has been warming clubs up or we could be left with a player still with us next month that doesn’t want to be here & we won’t pick.

This is about right. Nagy is a good footballer. Doesn’t strike me as a Billy Big Nuts at all. In fact seems to have actually given a toss in a lot of games where other players hid during our worst runs. The fact seems clear that he doesn’t look likely to be in the Manager’s plans so best thing for both parties is for him to move on and get either a decent return for a fee, or at least help our FFP and get a a mobile main striker that after yesterday showed we desperately need (fair play to Martin who worked hard, took his goal well and had a decent game. I will be overjoyed if he can do this all season but even more surprised. We need someone with some pace, physicality, keeps the opposition on their toes and can press - Pearson I’m sure knows who fits the bill roughly out there, but as he says, it will cost.

And at one point, Marvin Brown was going to be a £10m footballer and Bas Savage was going to be a competent pro.

Fact is, even if Nagy showed potential in 2016 he was a long way from realising it to the level of the others quoted. Had he done so, sure as eggs is eggs, he wouldn’t have been playing for Bologna and they wouldn’t have been happy to sell him to us. Five years ago he had potential - I don’t think anyone can say that in his time with us he’s looked a cut above the rest.

If our management team should regret not getting the best out of him, Adam himself based on his career to date should be looking doubly hard.

Or, it might be he’s just not as good as he may have been seen to be at one point.

Exactly this.

I rate Nagy but we've never played the right system for him (and nor has he done enough to justify us building our midfield around us). As you say, I thought he was one of the few players who tried last season but he obviously isn't quite what the manager wants and - given we have James, King, Bakinson, Massengo and Williams, plus Scott and Palmer as attacking midfield options - it makes sense for everyone if he moves on.

But I don't think anyone has to be the bad guy there. Nagy is good enough for it to be reasonable for him to want to be someone where he can play regular football and Pearson has every right to pick the team he wants. I hope a move gets found for him quickly and that everyone can move on.

Dave we had a long discussion about Nagy earlier in the summer, especially anout positions etc. 

When picked for us he's played in the roles that have been asked of him by managers who seemingly want to play him here there and everywhere. 

Personally I think he can and probably would excel in a more forward 3 and we've had that discussion too. 

However here we are with his place in the team being taken over by someone who's 30 plus and not played Champs football in donkeys

It marks the 3rd successive manager who's tried to square peg, round hole or left him out completely. 

A few have mentioned bit part elsewhere  Nagy came through at a similar age to HNM at Ferencvaros and then went to Bologna in Serie A to carry on learning. (being a similar age to Vyner at Aberdeen etc there, but clearly at a much higher level.) 

We've literally been a step down for him, and not utilised the asset we have. 

Wouldn't be shocked to see him in the Prem and am absolutely dismayed as to how much we've wasted a player of his calibre. 

 

I have never seen such a rose-tinted post about a player. A player of his calibre ? I can’t recall one game for us where he has stood out as anything special. Physically weak, not great on the ball, and good stamina but zero intelligence in terms of how to maintain shape.

Yet he was/is essential to the shape/formation that Hungary played in the Euros. Amazing the bloke even plays professional football.

I’m judging him playing for us over 2 seasons in a team whose game plan is to not sit 11 men behind the ball and comparing his ability to what I expect a top championship midfielder to be like given that the poster I replied to suggested Nagy could play in the Prem.

Good luck to the guy.  I thought he was a fantastic talent but whatever reason - style of football in the championship, managerial tactics - never really got a chance to establish himself.   To be filed away with Vilmos Seebok for me.  Really disappointed we never got the best out of him.

Adam strikes me as a man of integrity.   It's obvious his family has never settled here and that's been especially tough during covid.  I don't bear him any animosity in asking to leave.   He's doing so when his stock is high after the euros and we may still get a decent fee.   All the best Adam.

Think there seems to be a lot of people who’ve forgotten we’ve gone through/are still going through a global pandemic, and Nagy is one of many who’s living miles away from family/friends. 
 

he’s just had his first kid, that’s not the greatest combination. Don’t blame him for wanting out one bit

He was struggling to settle before the pandemic too.

So best for all concerned that he moves on.

Has a couple of half decent games in the Euros and thinks he's the dogs cods. Make him train with the kids.

Thinks he's Billy big nuts but he's just bang average. 

What a ridiculous post. How do you know anything? What if Pearson has told him he’s not in his plans? Even if he has decided to leave, I see that he’s never lacked effort or application. Grow up.

I know Facebook isn’t a place to believe rumours but seen a couple of posts that Kalas had handed in a transfer request now . Any truth in this ?

If I had to completely guess........I would say no truth. On the basis that he was in the squad yesterday and there are one or two, at most, who post on here and seem to have a grasp of the behind the scenes stuff who would almost inevitably have posted this by now.

I agree, dross was too harsh but i do think he is limited at this level. I had one beer too many when posting that last night!

I dont think he is a RB in fairness.

It’s quite possible that NP has decided he can do without Kalas and save the wages, or that Kalas has indeed asked for a move (after the publicised falling out last season) and requested it isn’t made common knowledge until it’s sorted.

NP is charged with reducing the wage bill, Kalas and probably Nagy are on decent wages and moving both on would do that.

Does anyone think the team would have been weaker if two players who represented their countries at the recent Euros had been in the starting line up yesterday?

hope he wants to stay but would not be surprised if he has asked to leave. if he goes he will need to be replaced cant unfortunately imo trust taylor moore. dont think he is championship standard.

Since when has Taylor Moore been a midfielder?

Kalas would have been similar imo (I thought Baker and Atkinson played well), Nagy would not have made us any better at all and possibly weaker based on his performances for us generally. Doesn't mean he's crap, just means he hasn't hit the heights for us and certainly hasn't provided huge value on outlay.

Accounts due to be published soon. I'd be amazed were they anything other than catastrophic £40-£45m loss? Net debt pushing upward of £150m.

In which case anything of value must go. Expensive liabilities we can offload, ditto.
