Majewski Transfer Saga Part Two: West Brom.

It can be a long summer for Radoslaw Majewski, one of the hottest talents in Polish football. After a reported interest from Blackburn (which wasn’t really there to be honest) Super Express writes today about an offer from West Bromwich Albion, a team that has just won the Championship. I’m sure that now the player will find it easy to concentrate on his performances for Groclin.

It all looks almost settled according to the Polish tabloid. West Brom’s sporting director, Dan Ashworth, will meet tomorrow with Groclin’s owner Zbigniew Drzymala and present him with an offer of 3M€. Groclin is willing to accept the offer as it would be one of the highest transfers from the Polish league. Great, the deal is done and everybody can go home. I just find it a bit strange that I couldn’t find anything about it on English sites. Can a team like West Brom really have 3M to splash on an unproven midfielder from the Polish league? Do they want to spend this amount of money on a player who is 1,70m tall and weights 69 kilos? Not a big threat for the likes of Essien, Mascherano or Zokora right? And as far as I know Championship playing style is not based on technical skills and beautiful no look passes but rather on pure physical strength (West Brom’s best striker is Robert Bednar: 1,90m and 85 kilos; well known for all the SPL fans). On the other hand, maybe they want to change their style after advancing to the Premiership and Majewski is a player that can help them do it. After all, English teams nowadays spend horrendous amounts of money on average players (just look at Sunderland and Fulham’s transfers) so why wouldn’t they pay 3M for a talent like Majewski? As you can see, there are both arguments for and against the validity of this news. And if 3M is really on the table than, well, all I can say is sell, sell, sell.

Not to be left behind Super Express, Przeglad Sportowy reports about an interest from Serie A managers considering Majewski. Moreover, they also contradict SE’s info by claiming that there are no serious offers for the young playmaker (only some time ago they wrote about a serious offer from Blackburn, he he). Remember, it’s only May, what if he plays well in the Euro champs? Will we have news like ‘Majewski in ManUtd’? Can’t wait for that to be honest, but for now let’s wait and see if this whole West Brom offer is for real or is it just journalists’ wishful thinking once again.
