Title: Re: Adver News: Di Canio decides against signing Wojtanowicz Post by: Coca Fola on Monday, August 15, 2011, 15:58:40 I like to think that he was an Ali Dia type of player. :)
Title: Re: Adver News: Di Canio decides against signing Wojtanowicz Post by: NorwayRed on Monday, August 15, 2011, 16:29:37 Very strange, because Di Canio said that Wojtanowicz was an athlete compared to a lot of the other players here on trial a few days ago.
Now he suddenly doesn't cope with the fitness level. Hmmm... well. Let's hope we can sign a big striker or two before the transfer deadline!

I suspect that'd be extremely unlikely because we'd still need a target man. Perhaps Raimondi is back on the radar, because Paolo never said he wasn't good enough, just said that his wages were an issue?

"No thank you. Bye bye." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14536154.stm Title: Re: Adver News: Di Canio decides against signing Wojtanowicz Post by: slinky on Monday, August 15, 2011, 17:26:56 This interview has been posted elsewhere, but here Di Canio explains that it was down to the guy's reaction to how they train "No thank you. Bye bye." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14536154.stm I agree with letting him go if he wasn't up for it. We had enough players last season that were like that. What worries me are the comments towards the end of the interview that make it sound like as the end of August approaches we will sign anyone who has a physical presence. I hope I am wrong this is just ho it came across to me.

Perhaps he has shown enough in training to be worth a punt. Wouldn't say its beyond the realms of possibility. Title: Re: Adver News: Di Canio decides against signing Wojtanowicz Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, August 15, 2011, 19:07:08 In the interview on the Lazzano thread PDC pretty much says that Wilko isnt for him but as a last resort he could get a deal.

Thoughts/fears are we are running out of time to find a quality big man. If Wilko was that good we would have signed him by now.

If Wilko was that good we would have signed him by now. My thoughts exactly, hopefully some stellar talent has popped up on the radar, perhaps our mysterious Brazillian is back on the table? :D Or maybe Flint is going to be our target man? Title: Re: Adver News: Di Canio decides against signing Wojtanowicz Post by: deltaincline on Monday, August 15, 2011, 23:25:52 The revealing bit of why Di Canio did a U turn on signing Wojtanowicz comes at around 30 seconds into that subject in his interview. He mentions - roughly translated - that Wojtanowicz asked his captain Risser 'is that how you train all the time?' while at the same time mimicking Wojtanowicz blowing out of his arse during a training session.
Harsh on the player, maybe. It sends out another clear and loud message though that PDC demands ultimate comittment from his players and will fuck-off anyone who isn't up to scratch. |
