cambridgeshire canary 6,516 Posted July 22, 2020 One of the fastest wingers around (apparently the fastest player in the Polish league) so i cant wait to see what he can do, pretty much Adama Traore without muscle Hernandez on one wing and him on the other will tear the Championship apart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted July 22, 2020 Looks like we’re signing players ready for the first team. Next season has to be a fast start and hangover free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted July 22, 2020 Excellent idea for a signing (cant say just great signing as i need to see him), we needed more options with regards to pace in the side. We looked like we missed that element to our squad whilst Onel was out injured, and we lack it too when he's on the bench or slowing down as games go on. Being able to have another option, especially to break the press (which we have struggled to do) is a great move. Lets hope he comes good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been saying all season our only player with pace is Hernandez, and that is has been a problem. Obviously Buendia and Cantwell are very skilled and tricky players, but never been that convinced they are that fast Edited July 22, 2020 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,807 Posted July 22, 2020 36 minutes ago, kick it off said: For future reference Shem-e-swav pwa-het-a Yep, that's about right. I think we'll stick to calling him PP. (His first name's not that difficult if you know how to pronounce the city Wroclaw correctly, it's that l with a slash which causes some trouble as it's pronounced like a "w"). This may sound counter-intuitive, but I think this might help the defence a little. Placheta on one side, Hernandez on the other, not so much need for a full-back to hit the overlap and be as exposed. Not to mention on defensive set-pieces, leave one of those two, or even both on the halfway line and just honk a big clearance as far as possible into open space with the aim of getting them to run on it. And yes, some genuine pace is an asset lacking throughout the team. Buendia is nippy rather than fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted July 22, 2020 Sounds promising - as ever we need to give him a bit of time and wait to see what he can do; hopefully he’s more of an Eadie than a De Waard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The official account has abbreviated to Przemek after he names himself in a short clip, so it looks like you're on the money. Doesn't mean I don't still intend to call him Premmyslav though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has an eye for a goal, plays on either wing, is rapid, can cross (doesn't pass that much, which interests me, considering how we setup), appears to be a good signing, hopefully he can do the same next season. Also, how terrible was some of the keeping in that compilation (particularly early on!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he Looked Quick and a Finisher Maybe used as a Striker ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted July 22, 2020 Another very promising signing. It really does look like we’re gearing up to sell Cantwell, Buendia, Lewis and off loading a few midfielders who haven’t pulled their weight, we need to consider home grown rule and four of our signings are foreign so fully expect a lot of changes, for the better. Great summer so far.👍🇵🇱🍻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted July 22, 2020 Yeah looks good on the video. He seems to have more of an end product than Hernandez and could be stiff competition for him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted July 22, 2020 Hope we're actually able to be in the stadium next season to see him play! Pacey wingers always welcome. Always difficult to tell how they'll transition when up against much better defences than the one's in that video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, how terrible was some of the keeping in that compilation (particularly early on!). I thought he passed a fair bit, and a bit more of a heads-up player than Hernandez. What struck me was that he was not afraid to take on rough, tough defenders, which he'll certainly come across in the Championship. He didn't seem to shirk that side of the game at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
