I seem to remember us being linked with him last year, and being amused that his surname is the Slavic word for "shovel".
Good to see Mads replacement here early doors. 21 and a four year contract so protecting ourselves with our investment.
Bit of a generalisation but all the Poles I have met and known have been honest, hard working, some a bit difficult to 'weigh up' at first as they can come across as 'hard' (like the photo) . Underneath that hard exterior they are decent, friendly, no nonsense types, although the few I knew came from the countryside so can't comment on the 'city types'. I auditioned with a band many years ago and the guitarist scared me shitless when I first met him (turned out his parents were Polish and emigrated to UK just before Germany invaded Poland) He gave me the hard stare throughout the audition and barely said a word just the occasional grunt. Turned out that he was a really great quiet guy and an excellent guitarist (especially brilliant after several bottles of Becks) in spite of being from Sheffield. Never understood why he was never in a big named band!
I’d imagine he’s on less money than Kitch, Cundy, Anderson and whatever we contributed to Thomas wage, all 4 of those had championships/L1 experience, based on that I can’t see him being a direct replacement for Anderson or Thomas, we should have more wage budget to replace those 2 if we need to. He’s an obvious data driven signing though and sounds like a very exciting prospect, I doubt it’ll take him long to make an impact (or he’ll bugger of if not!) How do we pronounce his first name, is it Casper?
