Kazmierczak signs with Porto

[Bossanova]

Kazmierczak, internacional polaco que está a caminho do Benfica, confessou hoje à Rádio Renascença que se tivesse de optar entre os encarnados e o FC Porto escolheria os dragões.

"Penso que o Porto é a melhor equipa em Portugal. É o campeão, vai jogar a Liga dos Campeões...", considerou o médio ex-Boavista, que confrontado depois com a questão "entre o Porto e o Benfica escolhia o Porto?" não teve dúvidas na resposta:

"Sim. Acho que sim. Já trabalhei com o treinador no Boavista, já o conheço bem e a preferência iria para o Porto mas tudo depende das condições que me forem oferecidas e de um acordo entre mim e o clube."

There has been a lot of rumours about Kaz...so he gets his own thread :)

I like him allready.

Kaz signed a 4 year contract with FC Porto. :clap
Porto will pay 1,4 M euros for him.
He will be the 4th Pole playing for FC Porto after J. Młynarczyk, A. Wozniak and G. Mielcarski.
:dk

Hopefully he will be a success :nod

Well see what he can do with us. Big guy that will do well in set pieces and also will be a good depth player for us.

Hope to see more of this :cool

Is it not a big thing to transfer between Boavista and Porto?

It doesn't seem to be on an Everton/Liverpool, City/United, Spurs/Arsenal type of level. Is that fair to say?

unless its not between Benfica/Sporting/Porto every other one is pretty common.
Anyway Porto didn't get him from Boavista, but Pogon from Poland, he was loaned to boavista last season.

even between sporting and porto it is not a big deal. plenty of business has been made.

We have always had a good relationship with Boavista when signing players.

Meireles and Bosingwa are two very recent examples.

They just want to make a profit, and we are the club that usually pay the most attention as we are neighbours.

Everton and City have about the same number of fans inside their cities as Liverpool and United right? I'd say that in the city of Porto only about one out of 30 people supports Boavista.

[Bossanova]

The good thing about England is that even a club like QPR has about 400,000 fans :)

Shame only 12,000 turn up to matches lol

From what I have heard though, in the city of Liverpool, Liverpool fans outnumber Everton by 2 to 1 at least...dixie will be able to clarify further though.

[DvA]

well boavista is basically a feeder team of the big three

Porto: Ricardo Costa, Diogo Valente, Kaz, R. Meireles, Bosingwa

Benfica: Petit, Nuno Gomes, Nelson, Paulo Jorge

Sporting: Ricardo

There are more people in the city who will say they support Liverpool when asked but in reality a huge amount of them aren't particularly interested in football and just latch onto the more successful team.

When it comes to actual match going supporters I would say there is a slightly bigger amount of people from the city at Goodison Park than Anfield. They have a lot of foreign and out of town fans going to their games. For example, I sat in a Liverpool section for this years derby at Anfield and had people from down south and and two groups of Scandinavians around me.

It's a similar scenario in Manchester.
