Call up for Bart ?

The Polish Football Association will announce the list of players invited for the international friendly against the Super Eagles on Friday, March 9, allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed.

The big news is that the highly-rated Ipswich Town goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski could be in between the pipes for the Europeans against the three-time African champs, with manager Adam Nawałka handing him a maiden call-up to Poland's senior national team.

''The Poland squad will be announced on Friday. There will be only players who play abroad announced today, and after the weekend those from Polish league will be added,'' a top source told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''There are no strange inclusions in the squad, Błaszczykowski who's injured will still be in and the return of Milik

''There's a new keeper, Białkowski from Ipswich. He is earning his first call-up as a 30-year-old while he was considered a phenomenon while in his teens.''

Bartosz Bialkowski represented Poland at U20 and U21 level, he turned out for Southampton, Barnsley and Notts County before a permanent transfer to Ipswich Town in 2014.

Would be no more than he deserves if true, he has been outstanding at times. Would surely up his value too should he make the breakthrough into the Polish squad.

Barts in the Poland squad . Confirmed !

“ Big Pole in the goal , nah, nah, nah “

chuffed for him. really think he deserves this. Hes always come across as a top guy and someone who I think has matured greatly at his time with Town. I know he suffered when at Southampton and had his issues, but he has learnt and worked on himself. A great goalkeeper at our level and I think fully deserves a call up.

Should feature more often at international level, do Poland really have other goalkeepers of better standard ? Not only that but should ideally be in the squad for the trip to Russia this summer, would be a crime to leave him out for final selection.

This not only benefits Bialkowski but this team as a whole, (the player) should find some extra belief and determination at league level with the honor of being involved for club and country. People may knock him or play down his talents but he's a good shot stopper and reliable, someone you can invariably depend on.

I think the reason he hasn't featured more is because there are some areas of his game that are not great, shot stopping there is nobody better byt kicking and commanding his area etc leave a lot to be desired, Anyway no negatives, good luck to Bart.
