– I do not hide that Pedro Tiba was with us for talks, but in the end we decided not to sign the contract – I will not say which side, because it would be wrong. The Portuguese will not be here. Did Legia want to give 1 + 1, and the player wanted a 2-year contract? This is far from the truth, but not that much.
– Will Pekhart stay in the Legion? Not. He got an offer, I talked to him several times, I told him what it all looked like, he understood it (…). Tomas is a valuable player, extremely good, but is he the same as he was two years ago? Well, he is two years older, so another contract would have to be offered on better terms than before, if we wanted him very much. And he had a star contract with us. He had a very good first season, the second one turned out to be weaker, it is not known what the upcoming games would be. I was hoping that he would shine again with coach Runjaić, the new team, but I cannot offer him better or even the same conditions that he had, i.e. star ones, so I presented a lower contract. He said that at this moment he had received a more attractive offer than our star contract, and he was waiting for an even better one. We have to be honest – I told him that I don’t think we’ll be able to come to an agreement on this matter. But remember, Tomas, the matter is always open – if you did not want to go to the East, but only play with us, the gate is still open. However, I do not think that – taking into account the proposals received – he will agree to it. Will I be surprised if he stays in the Premier League? Not. It is an attractive striker for clubs from the Polish league.
– Josue had a very good round, he is on a star contract which is valid for one more year. I think that now too many players have star contracts (…) The Portuguese’s contract with Legia is valid until the end of the 2022/23 games, and you are to come up with a proposal – and what, you will offer him conditions such as Pekhart, i.e. similar or slightly lower than he had before? It is known that he will not accept such an offer, therefore it would be necessary to present higher conditions, a longer contract, but taking into account the age, you do not know whether you will block a large amount of funds in one player, which in a moment may not be in the form in which he was . Josue came to us when Legia won the Polish championship. Let us notice it. We evaluate spring and let’s evaluate the whole season, which we finished in 10th place. Who knows what it will be like in the upcoming competitions. It should be noted how many clubs this player has changed – after some time he starts to get tired in one place and he will not give what is at his best disposal.
