Zurawski Video: Judge for Yourselves

By: Laurie | December 10th, 2007

We all know that YouTube compilation videos are worthless when it comes to judging how a player will perform on a given team, right? With that understood, this Maciej Zurawski video is still interesting.

Judging by this (which, of course, could be worthless and completely irrelevant) he’s more than a straight goal poacher and has better on-field skills than Pavon. He looks like he might be more inclined to benefit from Beckham’s “perfectly weighted throughballs” than to benefit from the corners and set pieces.

But we can find somebody else to do that other stuff. Right?

    very interesting. hopefully the legs are there as well as the touch. this will be good for the galaxy if he gets 1st team exposure in euro 2008, each time he scores the club will show LA Galaxy on the screen.
    i hope the galaxy look towards deals in europe, scotland, and ireland; central american players don’t stand up too much in MLS, the south american players will also be great purchases, but the galaxy look to be building a more european style while the DC United’s are looking to go more south american. Should build a very interesting American style league, you know that whole melting pot that is America. We may in a few years have a fast, technical, and offense based league that many players will want to play in.

    Yeah! Żurawski is the best polish striker ever! This season is horrible for him in fact, but – I’m sure – in LA he would show what he can! Let’s judge his skills at YouYube:

    Galaxy is actually a terrible fit for a temperamental guy like Magic Zurawski. With all the drama and soap opera there, he will be very unhappy. Now AEG is not a bad fit, just Galaxy. He should go with AEG’s only true winner, Houston Dynamo. Dynamo’s a team aching for a striker like him, in a city with both a large Polish and Celtic constituency. He’s older and slower than he used to be, but still could fit in very well with proven winners.

    If he has the legs and the heart still, he could do some damage up front. In the video, it shows he has some talent for sure, but just how old are some of those highlights, back in his prime maybe.

    There is no doubt Zurawski out classes Pavon easily in his touch on the ball and I really don’t think Pavon could have made any of those shots. If he could have, he would have had some goals this year because he had chances throughout the season. Now it just comes down to money, how much is he worth? will he fit in to the Galaxy
    chemistry? can he put up with Lalas :)

    This guy would be a good fit in Chicago.Lots of Polish people, and we definitely need someone who can finish.Barrett and Carr are rubbish,Rolfe is good.Please Chicago sign this man, we need some goals.

    (And Juan Carlos Osorio better not return to Chicago anytime soon.Get the hell out of Dodge,Juan.)

    Good video. Exellent first touch,very nice ball control. But doesn’t he play on Donovan’s place? I think if we buy striker it’s better to buy killing finisher that will stand 2 mt from the goal and finish every ball.
    Any way if this guy can play like he played once,he will be nice addition to us.

    Shep Messing says that the Zarawski to Galaxy rumor is bogus. We’ll see what happens.
