Red or Dead Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I read in the Herald Sun this morning - in the article about Harry Kewell - that Heart have signed former Chelsea, Celtic and Real Zaragoza DEFENDER, Jiří Jarošík who's 35 and currently plays for Sparta Prague. Does anyone know anything about him other than what we can read on Wikipedia? Born: October 27, 1977 (age 35) Height: 1.93m Position: Centre Back/Midfielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hmm, he's got good history...did they state whether he'd be our marquee or not though? I'd be lying if i said i wouldn't be disappointed if he was our marquee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 If we believe anything Scott Munn says regarding our marquee it's that he will be Ono-esque who's played in the Premier League last season so this guy doesn't fit the mould. Recent reports have indicated we're looking at a few European based players, this guy must be one of them, but not the Marquee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It's not on the web, I've looked for it - it's only in the newspaper article...for those Gen Y's, a newspaper is that big non-glossy magazine style book you find in newsagencies and cafes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 He seems very Zwaanswijk-esque so hopefully he's as good in defence! :-) Ando, I'm off to get a coffee, I'll check the newspaper when I'm there for the exact wording...in fact I'll take a photo and attach it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I just had a look. See my last comment, nothing indicates he's signed, rather there is interest in him from the club Would be a handy signing, and would free Paddy G up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR9 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) "Having won titles in 4 different Leagues around Europe, I come with a winning mentality, etc..."

mus-28 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thought he was more a central/holding midfielder when he was at Chelski. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thought he was more a central/holding midfielder when he was at Chelski. Well he played mainly as Mid at Celtic as well but I gather he would be probably too slow to do now at his age, however I do remember seeing him score more than once.

LR9 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Just having a look through, and this bloke doesn't seem to have had a very good season at all and has been released from his contract a year early.. Also worth noting that Lavicka is the Sparta Manager.. Here is the result of a poll: Who are you in Sparta this season the most disappointing?Marek Matejovsky 1939Jiri Jarosik 2185Leonard Kweuke 137David Lafata 140Vitezslav Bench 74 Here is his last match rating (1 being he worst): Jarošík's statistics are in fact desperate. After almost five-month break caused by the thigh muscle injury failed to settle their performance to the required level. His performance in Brno could not be described as anything more than a flop. The tall thirty-five year-old was at fault for tgr first two goals and received the lowest possible rating - 1. While Sparta has received average of 0.5 goals per game, Jarosik has much worse parameter 1.4. Therefore, it is likely that the he will not appeared in the last league round against Dukla - and in the summer will set off for the next challenge. Although he has a contract until June next year, he will not, be prevented from leaving. "Jiri has some offers to transfer, but until the end of the league we wont want to make anymore comments," said agent Martin Riha. After being dropped: For what reason Jiri Jarosik was not even among the substitutes? "The main reason was that it was not in good health. But we also when evaluating the match with Brno and took account of the fact that his performance was not optimal," Said Lavicka EDIT: This from the wonderful world of Twitter (in response to this being a rumour): @biancorosso7 Man it's not a rumor read it in a newspaper in the Czech Republic that's he's left and coming to the #Aleague I'd say 90% Lol, Nick Ntris, strong source... https://twitter.com/NNteris93/status/339581917550751744 Edited May 29, 2013 by LR9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
