Ram@Lincoln Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 So back of fag packet maths, was the reported cost circa £4m? So we're getting away paying circa £2.5/3m? Is that around what we got from the MLS team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I wonder what the dispute could have been? - we either agreed something or we didn’t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I think Darren Moore is the only other footballer I’ve seen who has evidently brilliant attributes but can’t actually kick a ball. Joz was quick, made good runs, excellent ball control, skillful and intelligent. Problem was he couldn’t actually kick a ball with any power and was utterly useless in-front of goal. If you could combine Joz’s attributes with Tom Lawrence’s striking ability you have a PL player. Problem is Joz can’t kick a ball and Tom has the footballing IQ of a camel.

The administrators tried to pass Lech off as unsecured creditors, resulting in only paying 25% of what was owed. Lech claimed they were football creditors and should be paid in full. FIFA agreed with Lech and ordered us to pay in full or face another 2 year embargo. We reached a settlement agreement woth Lech somewhere in the middle.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Jozwiak was rubbish, one of the most frustrating players I have ever watched. I never once saw anything that suggested he would turn out good, but I still held hope, due to the amount of time we spent chasing him, the fee we paid and his 1 minute and 30 second youtube vid.

Don’t think they do on a strict reading of the rules but you can see FIFA kicking up a fuss about that. So not surprising there was horsetrading Edited August 2, 2023 by kevinhectoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t become a Poland international and play at major tournaments if you don’t have anything about you. I remember his debut at Luton and he looked like the only player we had with any intelligence. He had attributes and awareness beyond Championship level. He just couldn’t kick a ball with any conviction. Hence he was rubbish. It’s well documented that a Man City coach had him on their ones to watch list and expected him to be playing PL football by now. Unfortunately for us, he is another who just didn’t reach his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't wind up on Derbys bench in a side with limited resources and then wind up at an MLS side at the arse end of a worse quality league if you do. You were right with this bit.
