We need four to provide cover. If one gets injure or out of form (or at the Olympics) we would be left with nobody to fill an absolutely crucial position. Last year we has Downes, Kovacs, Gray and O'Hare all experienced centre halfs

Well I don't think that keeping Janos (a "first team" centrehalf) would help matters. Would prefer someone who won't be too fussed if they didn't have a first team place.

Lol. I'd rather have someone who wanted to be in the 11, and was peed off each week if they weren't. Model Pro's should be able to deal with that, work hard in training, and when the chance arrives, grab it with both hands. Competition is good for everyone.
Not someone who was just quite happy to be on the bench and still pick up his pay packet.

Well I guess I worded it poorly. I'd want someone who wants a first team place... but wouldn't be causing unrest in the squad if he wasn't... someone like O'Hare I guess...

If an out-of contract player under 24 (who has been offered a new contract but has turned it down) moves clubs within the same country, then his "old" club are entitled to compensation.
If the two clubs cannot agree a fee, then it will be determined by a tribunal.
Basing it on this statement if Kovacs goes what can we expect to get for him and do we have to share it with his Hungarian club ?
I guess Leven being 24 doesn't come under this ruling.....

I hope he stays but if he goes, I reckon Lowry could make a good CB so wouldnt be too panicked about starting the season with the 3 contracted players that we have. Wingers have got to be priority!

Well, this is my guess........
kovacs has got himself into a bit of a pickle unless he leaves England.
He and his agent have to find a club which will match our offer and pay us compo. That won't happen with a div 2 club and clearly nobody else any higher is willing to take a punt. Therefore, unless he is willing to take a pay cut at another club so that their total outlay including compo is managable, he will accept our offer and stay.

That reads like we've forced the player into a corner. We're in a win-win situation regardless.

I also recall hearing that we'd punted a small fee on him when the two-year "loan" expired, which probably reinforces the idea that MTK will be due nothing from any subsequent deal.

That clears that up then,nothing was mentioned about any money being passed over when he signed that deal,about three weeks time they will all be reporting back for pre season and everything should be in place hopefully to mount a serious challenge....
