As a Pole i do not like idea of Piątek in ACM. He was somewhat good in Cracovia, but our domestic league is total shit, and now, after quite good 6 motnhs in Genoua transfer like this? 40 m €? Listen, polish footballers r not good overall (except GKs, they r underrated - f.e Boruc was real wordclass, evrybody here remebers Dudek unfortunetly, who was worse , now Szczęsny is decent, though i think Fabiański is better), not like from former Jugoslavia...After Boniek we waited like 30 rs for this caliber of player (Lewandowski), and now, almost in the same generation player with same potential? Don't think so, we will lose money here...



Do you remember lewandowski early days?

Footballers evolve. people who work in football see the potential, we don’t.

Dude you make Poland sound like they can only produce one talented player. It's not like it's Salah, Weah, Hagi, Auba, etc.

Romania was actually pretty good. Raducioiu played for Milan, and you can't forget Popescu, Petrescu, and some others. Romania was a really good team in the 90's. And Salah comes from Egypt, which is statistically the best team in Africa, their national and club teams dominate football in Africa, overwhelmingly. I'd say Egypt is a much stronger team than Poland.

Do you guys really call Italy Wlochy?

Yeah, almost evrybody thiks its from word hair (in polish 'włosy'), but real etymology is 'Wolków' which was celtic tribe living in Italy - we took that name from germans (in term Wałch), and voila - not Italia but Włochy. Fun fact - english 'welsh' comes from the same word...
Generally polish language is strange one sometimes - whole world calls tea like tea, caj or something...we call it 'herbata' beacose we added 'herba - form latin herba - herb, so we have herb+tea = herbata...beacuse reasons i think...

Lewandowski has insane work ethic. I dont see that in Piątek.

Please post more. This is excellent stuff :thumbsup:

Reminds me of Italians referring to Germans as 'tedesco'. Which is an evolution of Theodiscus, which interestingly is also the root word for Deutsch.

Leo did Ibra+Cesc, alsovPaolo choice, Gazidiz zero tituli guy said no. Wants young, low wage, to turn milan into cl club but with future then in few years to be sold.
Thats why heresMoncada to find best ones
Carrasco also out coz of 10mln wage. Leo is here for players like Paqueta and Tonali.
Gazidis also not happy bout Piontek coz of price, 40mln (I DO AGREE HERE).
there needs to be found a balance in managment... MN.


On Piontek: we just bought in panick a 30-40mln guy that will be Cutrone sub in 6 months.

Zielinski is an excellent player btw. Should be mentioned in any discussion about current great Polish players.

Sky's @LucaMarchetti says that the discussion about Piatek right now is not about the transfer formula - but about the figures of the transfer.

What are the chances of Leo coming away with a Piatek + Kouame deal in return for Suso or something? Would be so good.

You are trying so hard to move to 4312 formation.

:lol: Subconsciously I think this is always true. With someone like Paqueta, it's even more tempting.

uhh...not in national team. In Poland common opinion is he cant handle pressure. When Poles think about good polish players nowdays its like ofc Lewandowski, Glik, Szczęsny...and after that Zileiński or Milik. Some ppl rate Grosicki (in reality very avarage, one demintional winger) over Zieliński, so it may give u some idea of dometic level of - lets call it - reputation.

Is it? Any club has throw a bid?
But we can afford piatek for 40m

Sent from my XT1663 using Tapatalk

I'm just spitballing but the stat sites have him valued at €40m and they're usually quite a bit lower than what they go for.

BREAKING: Anthony Martial is close to agreeing a new five-year contract with @ManUtd, Sky Sports News understands. #SSN

Scratch him off the list. Mourinho had to go get his ass sacked and ruin everything.

I am not convinced by this operation. Instead Piatek, with 40 m we would have take a strong winger and Higuain replace with Batshuayi. Hope im wrong.

Well both Zielinski and Milik have been revitalized under Ancelotti. The current Polish talent in club football is anything but mediocre.

Just imagine Higuain never even came here and this is the striker we chose. And I’m expecting a winger as well honestly

Damnit, I should start my insider twitter career at least next window. These posts on the 9th of January were so bang on, and there were zero Piatek links back then. Could have easily framed them as my buddy in Elliott telling me things in return for aeronautical knowledge bombs.

I think you would be too "correct"!? for an insider. Ppl here tend to trust those who never get things right....
