I've heard something about Kominiak (mainly that he went abroad to be tested), but I never saw him play. Results as those against the Kazachs show that we can't expect miracles from our senior national team. @MarcinO

At the same time, I'm not a professional journalist so I have to take my info from somewhere. Jodlowiec is not exactly quoted saying this, but it is reported that he doesn't know what to do and is tired with the whole situation. Can he get a better offer than Napoli? It will be hard; Polonia doesn't play in Europe and Jodlowiec is not a starter for the national team. For me it's a great opportunity, even though it's a potential failure.

Napoli are trying to sign Bolton's Jaroslav Fojut. Grenoble are apparently tracking striker Dawid Jarka of Gornik Zabrze. Łukasz Kominiak of Wisła Kraków, is currently being tested at Newcastle United, after spending a week of testing at Liverpool, the young defender will learn his fate within the next few days. U21: Poland lost 3-0 to Kazakhstan. This is a disappointing loss but should light a fire under the squad. This type of result is simply unacceptable against what was believed to be much weaker opposition. Speaking of national team futures. Napoli are trying to sign Bolton’s Jaroslav Fojut.

That's worrying if it's true, but I take everything I read in the Polish media with a grain of salt. I know some players have been misquoted in the past or had entire quotes completely made up. Blaszczykowski complained about this recently. Napoli are offering Jodlowiec 300,000 euros per season, which may indicate they seem him as backup, not a starter. It may be better to wait for other offers, if he's as good as everyone says Napoli won't be his only chance to play abroad. Did he really say he’s not confident in his ability to succeed abroad?

He can play on both flanks and as a supporting striker. He improved greatly last season. He's not in the same league as Kuba, but he can easily compete with Lobo for a place in the team. Both in Wisla and national team. He'll surely get a call up in the near future. @zaraza I based my comment from what I read in the paper. Apparently Jodlowiec had a plane ticket booked but changed his mind at the last moment. He's not confident that he'll succeed abroad. Today I read that there's only an interest from Napoli, not a fully serious offer. Moreover, Wisla is also reported to be in the running. As for transfers abroad; I think it's hard to judge when a player is fully ready. For every Matusiak or Grosicki there's Blaszczykowski or Jelen. The point is that if you're a professional footballer you should be confident of your skills and aim high. Moreover, we're not talking about the likes of Barcelona or Milan but Napoli. If a Polish player gets an offer from a top league he should always try. Polish league stops players progressing. Just look at Zurawski, he definetely stayed 2-3 seasons too long in Poland. @peter

Perhaps he simply doesn't believe in himself. But perhaps he'd prefer to go to another club where he would get into the starting eleven immediately and not have to wait? If it's the second, I think that's a smart decision. Too many Polish players have been wasted by going to a club they're not quite ready for and then they end up vegetating on the bench which pretty much never improves them, they usually go backwards. It may be better to get experience at a smaller club and then move on to a bigger one. We don’t really know Jodlowiec’s exact reasons for turning down the offer.

He would add much needed pace to this team. He also has a motor that never stops running. He definatly wont be the most talented player on the field but he would give the effort every single time out there. He also finishes very poorly but I think most of that has to do with poor luck, but in the end we really don't need him to finish, just to create opportunities and work his ass off. I think he fits on either wing in the midfield, but with kuba firmly in place on the right side, he should be given a good hard long look on the left. He obviously isnt playing in the Ukraine game but if he continues to play like he has, he should get an opportunity soon. I think Boguski is such a perfect fit for this team.
