Argus: Brighton target foreign keeper...

[clippedgull]

Just a small piece in the back of the paper..

Albion are looking both at home and abroad for a new goalkeeper.

Targets include Gornik Zabrze's Polish Under 20 international Lukasz Skorupski, who is also on the radar of Spurs and Newcastle and is wanted by German club Borussia Moenchengladback.

Skorupski, 21 tomorrow would prefer a move to England but Poyet may regard him as too much of a gamble.

Another nationality to add to the ever-growing list. Get. Him. In.

Also, given the other clubs rumoured to be interested in him, he may actually be quite good.

 

[MattBackHome]

Look at that DETERMINATION.

 

[WhingForPresident]

ABOUT TIME we had a "'ski" in our team- get him in.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yep, we've never had a polish player before, get him in to become next seasons designated FLAIR HERO

 

[Simster]

Good to see that as well as being a SKI, he also has an East European crewcut - it's no good signing flairniacs if they don't conform to racial and national stereotypes.


Get. Him. In.

 

[JCL666]

Polish blokes tend to be UNITS due to a childhood of beetroot and benchpressing tractors.

He gets my vote.

Exactly.

Also, he'll be prepared to work for a quarter of the wages an English keeper would want, and he'll be happy to save costs on away trips by sleeping on the floor in someone else's room.

Wholeheartedly agree with this.

give him 12 months then he'll f*** back off to Poland for a better deal

On the basis of his name and that photo, we should sign him up at once.

The fact that he's probably quite good if the other teams mentioned are looking at him is of secondary importance.

We need a big intimidating Pol in goal, sign him up Gus.

[Frutos]

Thanks for that vital contribution.

 

[severnside gull]

20 years old. Only played a handful of games plus a few at the next level down - would be a back-up at best and sensibly you would probably look to loan him out for at least a season to get match experience.................... a clear sign that we might be looking at a wholesale clearout at the back but Skorupski is not a serious contender for those seeking our next starting keeper

 

[Beach Hut]

We need him for definite and he can sort out any plumbing issues at the Amex in his spare time

 

[Gritt23]

Stand up straight man!

Seriously though, he is rather inexperienced. He wouldn't come in as first choice by the look of how few games he's played in Polish football - how strong is their domestic league?

 

[Biscuit]

Look at that DETERMINATION.

I was expecting to see a screenshot from Football Manager!

At 20, he wouldn't be our first choice, but a quality adition that may become someone quite special!

Just got my Polish colleague at work to translate this page:

Łukasz Skorupski: On broni bramki, a Nawałka jego... - Weszło!

and she says the first line says:

“Those who know him well say he lives his life so recklessly he probably can’t even remember when his contract expires”

FLAIR LEVEL: RED
