Comments on: Lewandowski Agrees To A Life Sentence In Donetsk. Bak Officially Retires. http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/lewandowski-agrees-to-a-life-sentence-in-donetsk-bak-officially-retires.html Poland - World Cup 2010 - South Africa Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:12:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: tomasz http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/lewandowski-agrees-to-a-life-sentence-in-donetsk-bak-officially-retires.html/comment-page-1#comment-69519 tomasz Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:36:47 +0000 http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/lewandowski-agrees-to-a-life-sentence-in-donetsk-bak-officially-retires.html#comment-69519 Bialkowski has some serious injury problems, but I really hope he manages to avoid them this season. Iwanski is a good league player, but he never even got a chance to shine on an international level. Despite his age, he's got no experience. Moreover, I prefer Roger, Majewski or even Gargula as a playmaker. Glowacki is also quite old, but he's got experience from the national team and UEFA Cup games. He's just an option at centre back, just as Bosacki for example. Lewandowski will certainly remain a midfielder, there's no option of him coming back to defence (and he's our best DMC). Dudka can go either way; Bak stated lately that he should replace him in defence. Let's see where he plays for Auxerre. I think Pazdan is an interesting player because he's quite elegant, conscious and confident on the ball, you rarely see this in a Polish player. But I won't bet any money that he develops into an international act. As for Zahorski, I don't necessarily expect goals from him. With his height he can be an ideal player to keep the ball or head it to a partnering striker. I think he can give us more options upfront.

Bialkowski is also one of my favorites but he had a really bad season last year so I don't really know about including him. But how can you say its too late for Iwanski? He is younger then Glowacki. I didn't list many DMC because they just aren't the way i would build the squad, like during the Euro games Leo played Dudka and Lewandowski as CM, wasn't the wurst choice but I would have been more comfortable with actual Midfielders in Midfield. Especially now Dudka and maybe Lewandowski should be brought back into defence so it would go something like G. Bronowicki - Lewandowski - Dudka - Zewlakow I haven't actually seen Pazdan play so I'm a bit cautious about relying on him. Yes Piszczek would be better as a wing I agree totally I initially put him in midfield. Zahorski and Saganowski just don't score regularly enough for me. He still has a few years to develope yes but if Leo thinks that he was good enough for Euro then the ekstraklasa should be no problem for him yet it doesn't really look that way. @tomasz

Waiting for the new track, I still haven't heard it on your page. Call it Gdansk, or Danzig if you're counting on international audience. @Witold There was such a list on pilkarskietalenty.com site, but it's no longer online. The best known Polish talents include Janota at Feyenoord, Szczesny at Arsenal or Cywka and Kupisz at Wigan. There are also a lot of guys playing in Germany. If somebody is in possession of such a list please let me know. @Alek Nice ideas there, here's what I think about them: GK: No problems for years. Two great keepers; I wouldn't call up Kuszczak because of his difficult character. His bad behaviour during the last training camp was reported by numerous journalists. As for Szczesny, I don't know if it isn't too early. I hope Bialkowski does well for Southampton this season. In the Polish league I rate Przyrowski highly. Defense: I agree about Kowalczyk, I already liked him playing in Poland. I didn't manage to see him in Russia, but he plays regularly for Dynamo and receives great reviews from their coaching staff. Bartczak is an option provided he leaves second division Zaglebie Lubin. I heard both Legia and Wisla are interested. Radomski is still a free agent, I don't know how soon he'll be physically ready. After Bak's retirement we need more central defenders (Dudka?) that's why I'm so pissed off about Kokoszka's situation. Maybe Leo will have to call up Glowacki. Midfield: Who would you see on the left flank? I consider Roger a central midfielder. Gargula is an option, but not a convincing one. I'm definitely not convinced by Zienczuk and Iwanski, it's too late for them. I hope Obraniak from Lille will get a citizenship as soon as possible, he can play on the left side. Majewski can be a backup for Roger, surely. I'm a big fan of Grosicki, really curious how he'll do in the Swiss league. I'm waiting for Rybus to confirm his talent this season. You haven't listed many options on DMC, that's why I would keep Pazdan (I really see some potential in this guy) and Murawski. Forwards: I agree, with the decline of Ebi we're left with no striker to count on. I would keep Zurawski only as a substitute. Ebi will find it hard to get a game this season so we can't build our striking force around him. Janczyk is an ideal candidate, but only if he starts playing regularly for CSKA. I would rather see Piszczek on the wing. Brozek deserves a next chance, we are not in a position to get rid of a player of his potential. I would also add Zahorski and Saganowski, as a role player. Don't forget about Jelen, when he's healthy he's one of the most dangerous players we have. To sum up, it's all speculation. Leo will make some changes, but there won't be a revolution, we just don't have enough quality players. @aalms

Doing quite well at Dynamo Moscow. It seems like Ebi is screwed at Racing so he has to leave but doesnt look like he will. But i really cant wait to see what Leo does with the national team here is my dream team Goal: Ok this is technically the only really good part of the squad but since Kuczszak has to wine so much I would include: Boruc Fabianski Szczesny (Yes i know he is only like 17 but if he starts to train with the national team early it wont hurt) Defense: Needs a major overhaul after the tournament so no Jop but our main full-backs should stay they did well Zewlakow Kowalczyk Radomski Bartczak Wasilewski G. Bronowicki Golanski Kokosza (If he actually finds a club) Midfield: What can I say it just wasnt the same without Blaszczykowski durring the tournament Blaszczykowski Roger Lobodzinski Lewandowski (New Captain anyone?) Majewski (Actually include him this time instead of usless Pazdan) Grosicki (I just love this kid, already had his debut, if he work on his finishing since I watched him last he would become an insane RW/FW) Iwanski Gargula Rybus (Yes only half a season at Legia but damn did he impress) Zienczuk (Good replacement for Krzynowek if he doesnt play) Forwards: Still the weakest part of our squad, he need a new star fast hopefully Jutkiewicz, Janczyk, Malecki, Janota, and Grosicki can develope into a world class striker Zurawski (Old but worth it I think) Smolarek???? (Dont know if he cant even find a spot with Racing) Janczyk (Should finally be starting after Jo left CSKA) Piszczek (Too bad he only scored once in like 20 games for Hertha) Brozek (Hate him but should give him one more chance) Why not Kowalczyk in the squad?
