Everton launch bid for Polish winger

Might have to wait a few years before this can get the go-ahead.....
Have you seen the exchange rate?? :-(

Will he now need a work permit?

Whilst we must take all transfer rumours with a grain of salt we must also wonder why some names like Grosicki and Nani are being thrown into the mix. The question is whether such players will be any more useful than Delafeou, Lennon or dare I say McGeady.

Whilst a lot of wingbacks (as they are now called) have to tackle back and can be frustrating, Nani is probably more frustrating than any of them. If I had the choice of signing at least one, then it would be Valencia of Man Utd who is very versatile.

If there are two positions we don't really need, right midfield is one of them, the other being left back. Left wing and goalkeeper should be our main priorities.

Colin there are already 790,000 Poles living in this country. Didn't we just vote to stop anymore from coming here? Or doesn't it apply to footballers?

Tom,
Totally agree with you. I have always thought Valencia was underrated especially by Man U although that may change with Maureen in charge.

Valencia is a great wing back and is also strong.He would be a fine acquisition if he is available.I would go for a couple of the Croats on view especially Perisic who has tremendous pace, ball control and effort...much better than Yarmolenko IMO.

Agreed Trevor 7. Perisic would be perfect . I hear Barcelona are after him though so would depend of he wants to play football or watch from the bench.

Trevor (#7), I agree Ivan Peresic would be great and looks much better than Yarmolenko. Don't know about his contract at Inter and if he wants a move but I think Croatia can do well in the Euros and Peresic's value will increase.

We'd have to compete with some top clubs (the RS, apparently) but then we need to get used to this if we want to attract top players and believe we are one of these "top clubs". Yeh... top player.

Spot on !

Where does it say that this guy is a right WB?

I don't no nothing about the lad, bit if this is true and Koeman wants him then great.

If he is a right sided midfielder like reported then we are slightly over loaded due to Del, Lennon, Miralas and Cleverly.

Perisic for me all day long. Remember him when Jelavic was a Croatian International. Always puts a shift in and is classy with it. Over to you RK.

PS: No to Nani !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No to Nani, no to Valencia, yes to Perisic. But it's not up to me...

Valencia is a fine player but I think we're about 5 years too late on that one.

Perisic should be our first choice for left wing, a position we definitely need filling.
He may prove hard to get though so how about Bolasie?

Watching the Poles, that Groziski looks good, Milik looks very poor.

I must admit that this Polish lad looks the best player on the park this afternoon versus the Swiss.He is direct and has loads of pace so maybe he would be a fine signing if we can get him.

If our young Swiss lad is as good as we expect then he should walk into this pretty average Swiss team.

Having watched the first half of Poland v Swiss, Grosicki looks a better player than Stoke's Shaqiri. He made the goal as well, has 2 good feet & is QUICK!!!

First time I've seen him play but he's looking good!

David,

I thought Grosicki looked very good also. Shaqiri was miles better in the second half than in the first. What a goal and brought his teammates into play with his crosses and that perfect little chip for the header that Fabianski saved. Reminds me of DelBoy, if DelBoy could actually do something besides stepovers towards the end line and could play for 90 minutes much less 120 minutes.

I though that Lewandowski was awful, just awful, and Fabianski played really well.

Jim,

I did say 1st. half. Yes Shaqiri was a lot better 2nd. half. Milik looked quite good also.

David I have to disagree. I've seen all of the Poland games and he's been poor in all of them. Decent first touch but terrible decision making and distribution.

This Polish lad looks very decent. He plays down the left but cuts in and he has an engine as well. Still prefer Perisic but that might prove difficult.

What would happen if a player scored and he then took his shirt off, but he had exactly the same shirt on underneath, name, number, the lot would he get booked?

Grosicki did look good, but do we need another winger, when we have Mirallas, Deulofeu and Lennon?

Danny (24), none of those three are comfortable (or capable) of playing on the left. If this lad is, and comes at a decent price as well, then go for it I say. IRKWT!

I seem to remember that, before joining what was originally the Common Market, football teams were limited to two foreign players. The rules were simple those players had to be current Internationals with the aim of increasing the quality and standard of British footballers. I don't think that we will ever back to two foreign players but I think they will need to be International players, just like any players from outside of Europe.

So we would be able to sign Grosicki.

Another uninspiring, nothing special, middle of the road link. From what I've seen he is average.

Is he faster than Lennon? More skillful than Deulofeu? A bigger goal threat than Mirallas? Better crosser than Deulofeu?

We always hype up players that don't belong to us and don't give enough credit to those who do.

Simple four questions...

Do we need him?

Is he better than what we already have?

How is he better?

Can he take us forward?

If it's a 'No' for any of the above then simply... Don't Buy!
