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.

When reading back on last nights Quiz was pssing myself………..especially the Eric Sykes script from th Quizmaster…shirley that was all part of the script..shirley..
The poster who, during the Photo Round, when presented with a photo of Stevie Chalmers, obviously being too young to know who it was, had a look at other contestants answers and deciding between Stevie & Tommy Callaghan opted for the middle ground and selected……….
STEVIE CALLAGHAN………….
Paul67,
An experienced forward will be a welcome addition to help our attacking options. I think the Turkish League is a very difficult place to do well in and if Pawel still has the determination to succeed outside of his homeland it could well be another very shrewd signing by Celtic.
Sorry to hear about Tom’s health problems. Get well soon Tom.

Morning CQN from the Great White North.
I was speaking with my wee brother who is Germany. He informed me he was trying to secure mortgage funds for the purchase for a house in Carfin and having a few difficulties because of his German work visa.
If there is anyone in the mortgage business in or around Carfin, please get in touch through my email that our host can provide. (Thanks in advance Paul)

Are there any Czech’s in their league who could have done a job for us?
Don’t want a Hun czech as it would do a `Bangura’ and bounce!
I’ll get my coat…….
ps GWS Tom M
It sounds like wee Pawel (5’11”) might fit the bill. Are we allowed to sign him and not his brother, though? It seems like they come as a pair.

IN this league the players are mostly gash as the good ones move young and early elsewhere.
Sebo plays for Slovan bratislava and he is still gash although he scored 20 goals last season somehow.
One of our ex-youths moved to Spartak Trnava who my mates all support.
