Two years ago I had a memorable journey from one end of Poland to the other, mostly in silent prayer that our man from Poland would slow down, to check out a few footballers, including Wisla Krakow striker, Pawel Brozek, who obliged with a goal.
Pawel has played mostly as a lone striker, he can hold the ball up and bring others into the game. He’s not a particularly tricky player but he has good positional sense inside the box. His move to Trabzonspor last year hasn’t worked out well as he has played back up to scoring sensation, Burak Yilmaz, who is averaging better than a goal per game in the league this season. Brozek’s record at Wisla was comparable to Maciej Zurawski, who he replaced as top striker in the league.
The Polish CQN brigade told me Celtic should move for Pawel and his twin brother before Trabzonspor signed them. When news leaked that Pawel was a target to replace ex-Rangers player (too soon?) Nikica Jelavic our man in Poland suggested he would pick up a lot of points for Rangers in the SPL.
If he comes to Celtic on a six month loan both parties will have plenty of opportunity to figure out if there is long term fit. In the meantime, should Pawel arrive we have someone to put pressure on Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes and the Cheeky Chappie will have to consider his next move (again, too soon?).
On the subject of Jelavic…. Remember in August 2010 when we were told he “effectively went on strike” to engineer his escape from Rapid Vienna after the player declared he wasn’t able to face Aston Villa? I hear he’s unable to play against Hibs this afternoon.

I admire your patience but I don’t buy into the “give him a run of games” argument some people use. To make at it Celtic you need to made of pretty tough stuff. If you can’t come in to the first team and show some signs of promise it doesn’t bode well. There are kids waiting in the wings who deserve a crack at some point. We aren’t Barcelona or Manchester United but we are a big enough club to expect players to make an impact without being granted opportunity after opportunity to show that, just on the off chance, they’ve got what it takes. If he looks out of sort at training then he shouldn’t get near the first team.
I feel sorry for the boy. He looks really out of his depth and is probably struggling off the park too.

On another note, does anyone think it’s out of order that the QPR-Chelsea handshake was cancelled?
Was this to save John Terry’s bacon once again?

To be fair I doubt there are many on here who do not see that every game is a battle and a potential banana skin.
When we compare where we are to where we were a few short weeks ago well… another country. But we could travel back to that country as if being transported by a Tardis. We have edged some tight games but the encouraging thing is that we are edging those games. I still feel there is a bit of fragility and a lack of (book of football cliches at hand) cutting edge.
But, twas ever thus. History will show us that Martins teams put the foot through the erse of the leagues they won but I remember plenty of tight 1-0s. Titles are won thus. (apologies I appear to have been overcome,language wise, by some sort of medieval spirit).
But I concur with what I think is the spirit of your post. Our only enemy (internal enemy folks, MIBs not part of this post!) is the black dog of complacency.
No laissez faire, just turn up attitude and we will be fine and again, encouraging that I see no evidence of this at the mo.

A very fair point very well made. I guess there’s an emotional part of me that wants to see anyone who dons the hoops to be the next legend. And the cash conscious side of me that has an in built spreadsheet saying, roughly, signs for hoops + that much cash= ace! You make a very good point re our kids. MaYbe I’ve been listening to too much Clyde but I have to concur with the reintroduction of a proper reserve league. The likes of Keatings, McKeough etc can only benefit from competitive week to week action. As could the likes of Mo- Bang.

Welcome to Glasgow Celtic FC
Pawel Brozek
I’m sure you’ll be a grand edition to Lennons Lions!
Hail! Hail!
Quick mention for Stevie and Angela Fulton who’ll be doing summersaults at Hampden tomorrow with their middle boy Jay playing against Celtic.
Older brother Dale will be a little knarked that he’s been loaned out to Clyde this month or he’d be playing too.
It’s the youngest boy of the three though, Tyler, who is catching eyes, aged 15 and already an Under 17 Scotland cap. This game comes a little too soon for him, but Celtic were rather annoyed when he decided to leave a couple of years ago. Likewise Hearts when he skyed the park there.
Lovely folk. Have a great day, with the consolation that you’ll get to see Celtic in the final.

Gerald766,
I think you are right about the FA handshake decision appearing to be in favour of John Terry.
However it`s Anton Ferdinand who can hold his head up in this situation.

Thanks very much, knew it would be midweek but didn’t know how far away it was.
Lol dear oh dear ….
That last call on Clyde … a fortune teller told her it’d be four in a row.
Man oh man, between that and the Messi nonsense in the papers today …
Now Keevins (who predicted the title race was over two months ago) asking Sone Aluko if people were being premature saying the league was done ….
Anything to keep their heads up, eah?

Which captain?
Shearer, Butcher, Gerrard, Terry?
They all get/got away with that which would see Johnny Foreigner receive an 8-match ban or more.
Insular? Heck aye.
