LC/FC Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 With his age he's going to need a steady run in the team, just like now to get match sharp. I think next season he'll obviously be a year older and I think a bit slower. He would be in danger of ruining the cult hero status he currently has. I'd wrather remember him as the player he is and the impact he has made and send him back to anderlecht with my best wishes.I personally don't think he'd have too much of a problem in the premiership as he embodies the type of defender like John Terry or Nemanja Vidic is. Neither blessed with speed but do have a fantastic reading of the game and a throw your body on the line attitude. He's also the same age as those 2 so age and pace but as previously stated, everyone would be on the backfoot when you have Aguero, Da Silva, Nasri and co all flying at you. But losing 3-1 wasn't bad against that showing. Also I'd probably be disappointed if I didn't see him in the Prem for at least 1 season.
LC/FC Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 That's correct, "Vasilevski" is a proper way of pronouncing Marcin's last name Thank you. Now I can stop this nagging sensation I have when Alan Young says his name .

Wasyl would have to fight for his place in the team, risking to destroy his hero status in a very painful way. I'm really not sure why would he want to get back to Belgium, instead of fulfilling his lifelong dream.
CosbehFox Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Remember his family - he's 34 - he's moved them to Leicester for now but it they were settled in Brussels, you can understand a return. I certainly wouldn't think that it's a lack of ambition.
Silverdaz Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Agree. He gives us something different from Moore and Wes. And don't forget we have Miquel who I thinks is a fine player WHEN FIT
Darkon84 Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Remember his family - he's 34 - he's moved them to Leicester for now but it they were settled in Brussels, you can understand a return. I certainly wouldn't think that it's a lack of ambition. One more year isn't exactly a long time. Other footballers are capable of managing their family when playing for clubs in different countries, etc. For instance, I'm sure Drogba's kids still go to school in London.
Callabinho Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 He's done brilliantly for us, and plus don't forget by trade he is actually a RB, its only age that has seen him move to CB.... anyway if you're talking about the premiership and quality of players then in my opinion we will need a new left sided defender, can't afford to be imbalanced at the back!

We've got one, he's called Miquel and hopefully Arsenal will let him go.
Fox Ulike Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 But he hasn’t been sent-off. Or given away a penalty. Wasyl has made an art-form out of controlled violence. His flailing elbows always look slightly gangly and un-co-ordinated rather than vicious - and so refs always have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I’ve also noticed that he modifies his game after he’s been booked: once he’s on a yellow he’s a lot more disciplined: No more rash challenges, and no more elbows flying into an opponent. He’s the Dog’s.
AdamN Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Correct me if I'm mistaken but isn't Polish one of the language's where the W is pronounced in English as a V.And his name should actually be said as 'Vasilevski' opppsed to what Alan Young always does and say it phonetically? According to Wiki: [ˈmart͡ɕin vaɕiˈlɛfskʲi] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Polish Which, if I've interpreted that correctly, should be pronounced Mar-chin Va-shi-leff-skyi. Perhaps one of our resident Poles can correct me if I'm wrong! Pronunciation aside, I love the bloke. WASYYYL

I certainly wouldn't think that it's a lack of ambition. I would never suspect Wasyl about a lack of ambition! That's why I am deeply confused about his potential return to Anderlecht. Over a year ago, when Marcin ended up on the bench (should I say that Van Den Brom is a massive idiot?) without any hope for the contract renewal, he was very much ready to leave Anderlecht. And he almost signed up with Legia Warsaw, but then everything got fvcked up, Wasyl did a total 180, refused Legia and started to fight desperately to stay in Anderlecht. That was one hopeless fight, ended in September, when both Brom and van Holsbeeck said a big fat "NO" to Wasyl. He luckily found a new club, all seemed rose and peachy, he got a chance to fulfill his dreams... And now I hear Michel is nagging Holsbeeck about Wasyl's return? And I know he has a family he cares deeply about, but c'mon dragging his kids back and forth cannot be good for them, right? Nevermind, whatever he's planning to do, he has a good reason for that, I'm sure.
lgfualol Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 I think we should give him a round of applause on the 27th minute

I've remembered this all stems from when we had James Wesolowski and I was curious why the Scottish commentator kept saying it weird durinf the Celtic game. I learned why in the end

Surely their boards would have whispers?
TheUltimateWinner Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 Wasilewski did not disagree. "I like the Premier League a lot," he said. "It was always a dream of mine to play there but now I think it is going to remain a dream." let's give the man his dream.

Bert Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 Confident that he could make the step up too. He's a seasoned pro and has vast amounts of experience. Could do a job for sure. He's certainly better than Alex Bruce who is currently patrolling in the Prem. Hopefully he'll get a new deal.
Mr_Kingy Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Morning all, Not somebody who really posts on the forums but I'm about to move to San Francisco with work so I'm guessing that might change! Anyway, to get on with my story, I left my current job yesterday and was given a framed signed shirt which was pretty amazing in itself BUT the story of how it came to be mine is even better. I have a Polish lady who works for me and her Dad happens to be their national volleyball coach, so she asked him to contact a couple of sports journalists to find a route back to Wasyl knowing I'd said he was Polish. He did no more than go via Dortmund and she gets Wasyl's mobile number followed by a call inviting her to come and meet his family and latterly the whole squad after training. She said he introduced her one by one and even provided the shirt for her.... What a nice guy! He might look like a brute but he even went to the trouble of checking I loved it yesterday. I can't believe I land a dream opportunity this season of all seasons but I'm hoping to fly back a few times to put my season ticket to use!
Bettsj2 Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Walked right past him in the Highcross earlier but was too starstruck to say anything How tall is he? He looks a giant on the pitch but isnt he only about 6ft?
Witch Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 How tall is he? He looks a giant on the pitch but isnt he only about 6ft? Wasyl is 6 ft 1 in tall.

An ex coach more like, as the last one national volleybal coach, who was Polish, we had like ten years ago. Or it's a ladies team he coaches:) He did no more than go via Dortmund and she gets Wasyl's mobile number followed by a call inviting her to come and meet his family and latterly the whole squad after training.

He might look like a brute but he even went to the trouble of checking I loved it yesterday. ...but that's the part I believe fully. That's exactly Wasyl being himself
muzzy1981 Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 If we go up, he will be one of four CBs we will need.

Great story pal,but im dead jealous of you.San Francisco is my favourite city.If we go up you might be able to see us in The Mad Dog in the Fog on Haight Street.Will you be there for St paddys? Check out O'Reilys on Green St,mental!
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 1 March 2014 Posted 1 March 2014 bettsj2 - I was surprised, he was the same height as me (6ft 1, possibly 6ft), but if I didn't know who he was I wouldn't have looked him in the eye - looks like he could tear your arms off! His missus was on his arm, naturally a stunner
