It may well be Lukasz Fabianski’s chance to become the latest on Hammer on show at the Euros today as Poland leap into action against Slovakia.
There has been much talk of finding a long term replacement for our 36 year old keeper but right now the guy is as good as any stopper in the Premier League.
When I hear people quoting £20 million for Sam Johnstone I start to wonder just where they are coming from when Fab cost us £7 million from Swansea.
I hope he gets a chance tonight – he deserves it at the end of a great season and I’m delighted too that he will be involved in the Europa League next season – he thoroughly deserves every chance that comes his way.
He has been discussing the Euros on www.whufc.com and can’t wait to get involved in a competition
He is interested in a tournament which is being held in so many different cities saying: “. It’s going to be an interesting one because there are so many different cities around Europe hosting it.
It will be interesting to see if you get this feeling of a big tournament, because I remember the Euros in France and in Poland and Ukraine, there was the feeling of everything happening in one country with so many fans of all countries in one place.
“This time it’s a bit different and we’ll see how it works, but it’s a massive competition and everyone is looking forward to competing and hopefully achieving something special.”
” For some reason the international games have a different vibe and there’s a different pace to the game. The atmosphere around the game is a little different too, there’s the national anthem before kick-off, which is special and gives you the feeling that the game means that little bit more.
“You’re representing your country, in our case almost 40 million people, so you realise how special it is and you feel the pressure too. That’s the biggest difference.”
“We hope we do well. I hope we’re going to have a good Euros and achieve at least what we achieved in France. We have a good enough team to surprise many and hopefully it’s another one which will stay in our memory for a while.”
