St.Ricky Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Has St.Mirren ever had a Polish player? Are there any on the market and of sufficient quality? With the number of people inScotland ofPolish extraction this might be a sound commercial move. Edited January 11, 2019 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Alfons Lesz, better known as Alfie, played from after the war until the early 50's. Speedy left winger I think my old dad told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Celtic went down this route signing Nakamura and Due Wei and a few others which looked to be from a completely commercial point of view. Nakamura did OK but there were a few flops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakamura did OK but there were a few flops Is this a joke?Leaving aside the fact that these guys weren’t Polish, this is a ridiculous statement.I’m assuming you are talking about Asian players?Celtic signed Nakamura from Serie A. They paid £2.5 million for him. He played 128 times for Celtic and scored 29 goals. He won player of the year in Scotland. He did more than ok! He was hardly signed purely for commercial reasons!Ki Sung-Yueng scored 9 goals in 66 appearances for Celtic. They paid £2 million fir him and sold him to Swansea for £6 million. He went on to play 177 games in the English Premiership for Swansea, Newcastle and Sunderland. Hardly signed purely for commercial reasons and hardly a flop.Du Wei was signed on loan and managed 1 game before getting punted, but what other Asian flops did Celtic sign?

Not at all - “ridiculous”. FMcGWL was making a perfectly logical post about signings from a commercial POV, as posited by St Ricky’s original post. do keep up, Wendy!

Slightly off topic but I remember as young chap we had signed these 3 but never actually remember them playing... what was the deal? Certain it was coughlin that brought them in but could be wrong...

I can't enumerate Celtic players cos I don't care enough about that team. I refer you back to the post already cited. FMcGWL responded to Ricky's suggestion of signing a nationality from a commercial pov. Which is rational, NOT ridiculous. He acknowledged Nakamura was ok. Suggested others weren't. You agree with that. You manage to find Ki Sung-Yueng who sold on for an reasonable sum. And you cite Du Wei - a relative flop - which is not disagreeing with FMcGWL's post. And so I still think you over reacted to his post. Edited January 11, 2019 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
