I’ve got a mate who supports Liverpool, he’s one of the rare ones who actually supports Liverpool.
He reckons the noise up there is they were seriously interested but Koz wanted to go somewhere where he has clear and likely path to first team football. If that’s the case then it’s a brilliant attitude and exactly what we want. If it means we’ve pulled out another Lamptey style bargain then we’re laughing.
Bissouma, Moder, Mwepu, Mac Allister, Alzate, Caicedo, Kozlowski. Can’t be many teams in the world with a more exciting bunch of youngsters in the middle of the park.
). I think now is a good time to be back If you don't mind. I carefully sifted through all 31 pages of this thread to be honest 
) , 17 yo and an absolute debut, during the game rebuked Lewandowski "Lewy, press press!" (like wtf man, get to work 
) Source: https://polskatimes.pl/euro-2020-ka...ego-krzyczal-lewy-do-pressingu/ar/c2-15672296 So I think the final race was between you and Liverpool, and you were more determined (your wise, long-term club strategy) and also Kacper knew that in Liverepoll there's quite a chance that he will follow Bartosz Kapustka's footsteps from 2016 champions Leicester. Set aside that, Kapustka (however talented) is known to be a bit lazy and his mental is maybe 25% Moder's and Kozłowski's but come on it was 5,5 years ago and first new Polish guys for BPL since maybe a decade. No one knew anything solid back than. You don't refuse BPL champion's offer anyway, especially when you're just some shitty Cracovia. ) he was pushed with Moder for 4 or 4,5 mln EUR as a promotion but in truth it was really last time of his hype to get some money out of it and Legia (in quite dire need for money) knew that very well.

I hope that in summer Kacper will start his real path in Brighton. It's good and important for him to have Moder in club as well already
Does being 24 still count as a youngster (it does to most of us on NSC to be sure, but in terms of professional footballers?)I’ve got a mate who supports Liverpool, he’s one of the rare ones who actually supports Liverpool.

So first, there's one much more interesting anecdote than the one with Klich after the game with Spain. Kozlowski (btw the easiest way to pronounce it is Koz-love-ski - maybe not the most accurate but still the easiest to begin with
Second, the strongest asset of Kacper is his mental. He plays against some junior team, a month later in Ekstraklasa against eg Lech Poznań, a month later against Spain in the crucial second game (after unfortunate loss to Slovakia) of Euro 2020 and he is f****** solid, he plays his game no matter who stands against him. We happened to have really good players in history yet out problem was always mental. They burnt and played shit in crucial moments. We were impressed that Moder seemed to be extremely stable for his age but Kacper is even stronger in the head.
Third, some of you are disappointed that he goes for a loan to Belgium. Couldn't he fight for the squad in the spring like Moder and Karbo earlier? Well, I bet he could but Brexit happened and its regulations now came to pass (since 01.01.22). You got some work permit issues and some point stuff to be collected (it is quite smoothly described here, just use some transl. - https://weszlo.com/2022/01/04/kacper-kozlowski-brighton-transfer-pozwolenie-na-prace/ )
4, after/during pandemic period really few clubs could buy Kozlowski. I know it may sound funny because we're talking Pogoń Szczecin, Polish Ekstraklasa like hello guys what's this? But also we're talking about one of the biggest talents in Europe at his position, the youngest player in Euro's history and regular player of his senior team that is lately regular top4 in the league. It's normal they expected to level off Moder's transfer (if not beat this 10mln EUR league record). It may be interesting what their chairman said today, that 20 clubs were seriously interested [https://weszlo.com/2022/01/05/kozlowskim-interesowalo-s/] but since they expected at least 9-10MLN EUR only BPL could afford it. He mentioned that they declined a few offers from Bundesliga (I bet BVB because they'd love to have some Polish talent again, it's quite their DNA this century
What else... maybe about your last Polish purchase. I am really glad that "Modzio" met your expectations, he needs to add some more numbers to the Gulls' stats but his limits are much higher. However, you know it already.
Karbownik had a brilliant start in Legia as a LWB. He came out of completely nowhere, a youngster from a reserve squad. Then, after a round or so, it was rumoured that he's observed by Barcelona scouts and literally half of Europe is asking about him (more or less what now happened with Kacper). His manager Mariusz Piekarski promised that his transfer will be new Polish record. Later on he said that Karbo was originally a centre midfielder and should be set back on his position (plus he could be sold for more as a CM than LWB) and Karbownik was therefore confused and overwhelmed by changes. His progress was disrupted and later on became a shadow of himself, bland and nervous in play. So when Legia's dreams of league's transfer record (8-10 mln before Poznań's Moder) started to fade and die (like some bubbles
I hope that in summer Kacper will start his real path in Brighton. It's good and important for him to have Moder in club already
