Smolarek - Bolton Wanderers

Re: Smolarek to Bolton?

should be interesting to see how that turns out... i think its a flip of the coin type of success, he could be good for them or he could be nothing special. i'm hoping he can be something special for them but then again, i wouldn't mind Ebi getting axed from the National side to see up top more of Robert Lewandowski, Pawel Brozek, and Piszczek (on the left flank)

 

Re: Smolarek to Bolton?

seems like one of those defining moments, he can prove himself on what is now the biggest stage in the game, that being the PL, though personally i think LaLiga is way more entertaining, or he will accomplish next to nothing. he will definitely get pushed around in the PL, but i think he will rediscover his form and score 10-12 goals this season, or maybe i had one beer to many

 

Re: Smolarek to Bolton?

i agree with you bro, on the La Liga part being more entertaining and everything you mentioned with Ebi

 

Re: Smolarek to Bolton?

Finally Ebi got to play again for Bolton. Came on in the 77th in today's match v Hull City, had one real good solo run through bout half the pitch with a shot that went over the bar. At least hes playing again after missing the last 5 PL matches.

 

Last 2 rounds Ebi's been on for a cup of coffee
on 83 min v Liverpool
on 85 min v Middlesbrough

 

In an FA cup loss vs Sunderland Smolarek finally shows signs of life. Maybe a start vs Arsenal is in the cards for the next round.

On 73
Scores his first for Bolton in 79

 

Ebi's "fall" over the past 18 months is the most underrated story....
wonder where he would end up....would be great to see him back at BVB where he belongs

 

Good call on that. In the end we can keep the same thread to have player history continuity, I will just change the title when he joins the new team.

 

I really hope he lands with the right team and regains some form. He's long been my favorite Polish national to watch and I'd hate to lose his creative spark from the national team permanently.

 

Hate to barge in...im not looking to cause trouble, but I really know nothing about Smolarek....just read this though and wanted to hear some thoughts....Let me know what you think about him and if it is worth getting excited about?

Probably not. To elaborate further on marek's reply, although he's stunk up the joint in the last couple of years both for clubs and the NT, he still is something of a hot commodity - due to past successes - in the Bundesliga or the Netherlands, and will probably find a job in one of those leagues soon. However, if he's not able to find a club until winter, the Polish league or the MLS will become a last resort option. Although more likely will go to a rich Polish club (or Russian) before you'll see him in the MLS. His dad is business savvy, and realizes that MLS is going to be the end of his international career.

 

Smolarek now on trial with Hamburger SV.
