My friend who is an Arsenal fan was at the TNS v Legia Warsaw game in Wrexham a few weeks ago

and she told me that Marek Saganowski scored for Legia Warsaw against TNS and going by what I

saw of him I thought he did pretty well at Saints tbh and got in amongst the goals from what I recall

as well so what do people think of him then?

Thanks!

COYR!!! :D

Favourite moment was his hat-trick away to Wolves. My ex-girlfriends step-dad was a Wolves season ticket holder (still is bless him) so I was actually sat with the Wolves fans. Crazy game, could have easily been 3-0 down before we scored and Wolves even contrived to miss a penalty. Every chance we had we seemed to score, and Saga's chipped effort was the best of the bunch. Hit it first time I believe, lovely dinked effort while running onto a through ball which seemed almost impossible to pull off. He had that wonderful scoring run when he first arrived on loan but then seemingly couldn't be arsed once we signed him permanently. Did score that all-important goal vs Sheffield Wed on last day of following season, mind, so I'll let him off.

>> It was Sheffield United >>

 

I remember that game. We had quite a few injuries iirc and were all expecting a defeat. A completely freak result.

I sometimes think back to that season he was on loan and I am now glad we didn't go up that year. We would never have known it, but the fallout of Michael Wilde's financial gamble on promotion ended up in us being reborn stronger then we could have ever imagined.

 

I did like Saganowski at the time, such a pity he flattered to deceive while chasing a contract.

Like has been alluded to above, played like his backside was on fire whilst on loan. Got a permanent contract and reached for his pipe and slippers.

bit like Rasiak and Skacel who flattered to deceive in reality and like a mate said while we watched Saints V Norwich on the eve of the transfer window closing "Blimey Rasiak and Rudi will be up for a drugs test tonight!!" next day one was at Bolton the other, if I am correct was at a Berlin club.

The one thing these threads have in common is how shocking my memory is. I remember the guy obviously but I can't remember results or games like many here... Must be an age thing.

 

Saying that. I may of chosen, subconsciously, to obliterate those wilderness years.. Or I was getting wasted at games back then.

 

As you were

Scored a shed load to earn himself a contract, and then largely looked like he couldn't be bothered once he'd done so. Agree with Saint Charlie, vastly overrated.

 

Thing is, if remembered rightly. We knew this was a common trait of his?

 

Not that the average fan had any influence

From memory saganowski, rasiak and skacel were all inexplicably left out of the starting line up for long periods of time. Which for some reason was interpreted by some fans as reaching for pipe and slippers. I would love to know the reasons. I don't believe it was because they weren't good enough.

 

Couldn't afford the appearance fees, goal bonuses etc. That was the rumour at the time I think.

As an aside, it's funny what you do and don't remember. I recall it being patently obvious that Andy Townsend was angling for a move when he suddenly and noticeably just stopped trying and shortly afterwards he departed, never to mention Saints again.

This. Shipped out on loan, like Rasiak, when they did not want to, leaving us vastly struggling for goals. All due to wage and appearance costs in hindsight of course. While I agree that some of his performances were very average, I dont buy that he did not care. The crucial goal against the Blades has been mentioned. I would also point to his celebrations, having recently been subbed, when Lallana scored his first senior goal the game before at WBA away.
