Jaroslaw Fojut spoke to a Polish newspaper yesterday on his decision to join Celtic. Our man in Poland kindly transcribed:
When asked if he would like to move to Celtic this month, Jaroslaw said, “If I move to Celtic this winter a convenient outcome for all sides would need to happen. If I need to stay in Wroclaw until the end of the season it will not be a tragedy. My decision to sign for Celtic is not going to change my dedication to Slask.
“Whatever the outcome, I will not be aggrieved.
“The people at Slask offered me a good contract. Before I signed for Celtic I met Slask chairman, Piotr Wasniewski and explained my situation. I wanted to play fair with the club who were always fair with me.
“Money was not the main reason I decided to go to Scotland. I do not have to justify myself by telling you what kind of club Celtic is and the real reasons behind my decision.
“My agent told me about signals from other club but there were no concrete offers. Celtic were determined to sign me and when their offer came in I did not look for other options.
“I expect competition for a place in the Celtic team to be high but when I get a chance to play I will make good use of that privilege. I have not spoken to Neil Lennon yet but I am aware of what he has said about me and look forward to meeting him.
“I remember playing against him when he was with Nottingham. I think we played twice in the cup and once in the league but could not be sure.
“I planned to call Lukasz Zaluska and ask what it was like at Celtic but what if he told me things were bad there?” Which Jaroslaw laughed at.
“Lukasz and I will have lots to talk about, we are both Legia supporters.
“I’m not going to argue about whether the Scottish or Polish league is better, everyone is entitled to their opinion on this. I’m pretty sure we have no club in Poland who can compare to Celtic, whatever aspect you analyse, economic issues, organisation, supporters, stadium or anything.
“Let’s not forget Celtic play in Europe every year and battle for the biggest prizes.
“In a way going to Celtic is a dream come true but my dreams will have to change. I will not going the Bhoys and feel happy, my ambitions will have to move on. I am sure Lionel Messi still has something to win and achieve. He has never been the champion of the world and that is why he must improve. I’m pretty sure I will not be short of incentives.
“Celtic is a very big deal for me but you do not climb the mountain and say, OK, I’m done.
“My acclimatisation is going to me easier in many aspects. I know the British game, I know what the coaches expectations are. During my years in England I learned the language so I’ll not have problems with communication.”

O.k. TET,
I will make enquires tomorrow with people i know at a bmw garage on Glasgow’s south side and get back to you with any info gained . hail hail
TET
Alternatively, you could just move to Holland :-)
Got back home the other day from a holiday in Egypt (now into my 50th year!) and was welcomed home with tickets for Hibs and Falkirk.
Now at the beginnig of January we debated on CQN that the semi was close to a sell out and I picked F2, online, because there was nothing left. I opened my tickets and find I’ve been allocated F4?!?
Happy with that but has anyone else been in the same position??
sannabhoy

Awe-Naw and your post
I spent some time on searching for one of Pablophanque’s posts.
I remeber that he wrote a masterpiece made of titles from The Beatles.
Tried to find it again with no good result.
He posted that one of the days in the morning just before “new article posted”
I wish I could find it.

WGS became Rangers advisor. He is telling them who is free agent and won’t be asking for the wages.

Person asking the question said that Daly would walk over broken glass to get to Celtic. Neil said he was a possibility but qualified it immediately by saying he would not comment on other Clubs players.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Do you know anything about the Polish striker Rangers are currently looking at Pawel Brozek,good, bad or just mince.
estadio nacional
i’m not guessing anything. I’ve seen you call him a fat b and also a c on here, the use of language like that on here sticks in my mind.
i love the idea of the chief executive getting ideas about the business plan from cqn.
Zbyszek 21:29
Ha. Sounds like the kind of signing PL would have wanted…

I saw the post mentioning him earlier.
If he is the type we are looking at that rules out the like of Rhodes who would cost too much anyways.

Interestingly he said right at the start that during today’s activities he had a meeting with Peter Lawell to discuss budgets etc and that we were running slightyly over budget at the moment.
I think we can rule out multi million pound signings unless we sell first

Well said ,I always liked Massimo,that big smile
of his ,ye wouldn’t need the floodlights on.
Who can forget the ‘MO MO MASSIMO’
after he scored the late winner in champions league game.
By the way I have loved every single player
of the Tic bar one ,can you guess,MO and Chas
don’t count,don’t hate the guy ,just thought he
never played the Celtic way.
Coorslad, not good.

Daly – 69 goals in 13 seasons. No thanks.
Regarding Neil’s comments re Mo Bangura and subsequent comments from some posters that others on here have been too quick to write the player off. Mo Bangura has brought some of the flak on himself. Before he even kicked a ball for Celtic he was widely quoted as saying that it was his intention to play in the EPL and he would possibly achieve that before the end of this season.
Now pardon me but I have been supporting Celtic since the early 1960s and attending regularly since 1965. I don’t want some unknown upstart signing for Celtic and making plans to leave before he has kicked a ball for us. I thought this guy must be World Class to come away with such a statement. In the games which I’ve seen him bhe looks at times as if he couldn’t trap a bag of cement. The most positive thing I’ve noticed about him is that he does win balls in the air – something that can be developed. In spite of my anger at his comments I want him to be a success and become a hero at Celtic. Neil seems to rate him and that’s more than good enough for me.
What I would think would go some way to win over his doubters and retractors would be for him to issue an apology to Celtic supporters about his comments when he signed. If he didn’t make those comments then the Cl;ub should have come out heavily, taking to task anyone who may have misrepresented what the player said.
Neil was a bit of a tease tonight at the beginning of the meeting the MC asked him if he had a busy day. He gave a summary of his day, finishing off by saying I had a meeting with Peter about a couple of things and with a smile as he said it. You know one of those smiles that’s saying, go on ask me, you know you really want to…
I think listening to him that he is very content with the squad but is working hard on the final piece of the jigsaw.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
