by the way, unfortunately, i don't know too much about Dudas.
I only saw him play a few times, when he was with the U17 team at the euros this year.
that's an immensely talented squad, they were unlucky to get only 5th. those who know football say there are 4-5 world class talents on that team and Dudas is obviously one of them.
three players from that team are known to have been chased by top european clubs. one of them was snapped up by sampdoria two years ago, the other won't be let go by his current team and the third is dudas.
his team is definitely willing to sell, even though they probably don't need the money, as they are just finalizing the 1M pound sale of a 19-year-old striker to Watford. That's a lot of money by Hungarian standards, probably close to their full-year budget.
Anyways, based on what i saw of Dudas, he is more of a creative midfielder than a striker. He did do a lot of wing play, as someone mentioned here already and he seems to really have an eye for the unexpected and spectacular pass.
He seems to have impeccable techinque and burning desire to win. He was the one willing the whole team on when things didn't go right and seemed the most frustrated by failing to reach the semifinals.
He might have some catching-up to do physically, as most Hungarian players seem to do. (Consider Gera and his injuries). The good news is that he is very young, so all that can yet be fixed. He doesn't seem to be too slight of build, though.
His pace, i'm not sure about, it was difficult to judge against the competition at the U17s. I certainly don't remember him blasting past anybody, but I reckon he has at least decent pace if he could play on the wing.
Again, take all that with a grain of salt, as it comes from very limited viewing. Plus, he might also have been used differently on the national team than his natural position.
Also, you never know at this age, players can really become just about anything. One of the most talented Hungarian strikers of a previous generation is now a starting central defender for Anderlecht...
In any case, i really hope he does sign with you guys, it would be huge for Hungarian football.
