Les-TA-Jon Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Fairly low risk signing - is it really a problem? We've just signed an international, experienced defender with 60 caps. On a free. For a year. What's the worst that can happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Not sure he even exists according to google! is this an academy signing? That's because it's Marcin Wasilewski. He's anything but an academy signing! Nearing retirement more like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Cheers people! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcin_Wasilewski Suppose it's pretty decent cover if Wes or Liam get injured (touch wood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzy1981 Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Not convinced we needed strengthening in this area of the pitch. I tend to disagree beyond Moore and Morgan we are not that strong. Miquel - inexperienced and unproven perhaps ok with Morgan or Wesilweski SSL - Clearly not rated by Pearson and me for that matter, expect to go on loan when fit again Whitbread - Again perhaps not that highly rated (certainly not proved himself yet) and injury prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Only a one year deal, obviously short term back up to De Laet. But he looks dangerous, wouldn't want to meet him in an alley at 3am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTrott Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Remember John Paintsil? That's what can happen... That's a daft analogy. John Paintsil was signed to be a first team player and presumably was on a decent salary. This guy has been signed into an already developed squad and can be used if needed, but he's not going to be our definite right back. And probably isn't on anything like I'd imagine Paintsil was on.

Alright, if that was too harsh, think Lamey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Seen him play before. He's a good signing at this level. Seemed very strong, dominant but definitely lacking in pace. As ferocious as a Morgan-Wasilewski partnership is, I'd worry about that against the pace of some of the sides in our division. I wouldn't put him ahead of de Laet, Moore or Morgan when everyone's available, but what a super back-up to have. For pronunciation, it's 'MAR-Cheen Vah-Shee-LEV-Skee' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 Seems like good back up and could be very useful if we deploy the 352. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 17 September 2013 Share Posted 17 September 2013 If de laet got injured im presuming moore was the only alternative at RB but he seems to of proved his worth as first choice at CB meaning we needed cover for RB. it also appears that Pearson has finally lost confidence in Whitbread and will probably ship him and SSL out for match practice / offload some wages its a win win for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
