DJT Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Canadian, yes, from the Lac St-Louis region of Quebec. He was drafted by the Impact last year. [Impact media release] The club he signed with, KSP Polonia Warszawa [official site], are last in the Ekstraklasa (top division), 6 points from safety. The league is on a winter break until March 4, but Di Buono has already made 7 appearances in friendlies between January 18 and February 8.

Grizzly Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Was a draft of the Impact last year. It is interesting that someone who did not make the Impact last year is a starter in a Polish first division club even if it is the worst 1st division club. I think Poland like many first division leagues has a major drop in level after the first few clubs and that the lower table clubs are nothing special. I think Montreal might be a lower table club in the Polish league but could avoid relegation. Nevertheless this is a good career move and he is much more visible to European scouts there than in Montreal and will be in a much more professional atmosphere. Polonia is a also a club with a long tradition and also the club where the Nigerian born black player Emmanuel Olisadebe played who joined the national team after receiving citizenship (he has since transferred to Greece).

Polish_LYNX_Fan Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Olisadebe now plays for portsmouth in the EPL. He did however start @ Polonia Warszawa. Polonia plays second fiddle to Legia Warszawa who sit 2nd in the league and are title contenders. I'm not sure about montreal being able to survive in the polish leauge. The league is not great but even the mid table clubs would be able to beat the A-league clubs. Polonia does have a long tradition and were Polish champs in 2000. Although people claim that the title was bought. The club nickname is "the black shirts" or "all blacks" They say the player has said he wants to help Polonia avoid relegation.

paco Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm happy to hear that Jo Di Buono signed a contract in Poland. I played with the guy here in Quebec. He had a lot of potential and is a good player. It is not because he did not make the Impact that he is not good enough. It all depends on which position you play in and who plays there currently. I don't think the Impact at that time needed a defensive midfielder having Sandro Grande and Patrick Leduc(2 years ago when the Impact was looking at him).

Polish_LYNX_Fan Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Polish league is definitly not the greatest but its no pushover. Polonia is a weak team. The top gunners are Wisla Krakow and Legia Warszawa. Wisla had that great run 3 years ago beating out Schalke in the UEFA cup. THen you have Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski who knocked off Hertha Berlin and Manchester City in their UEFA cup run. I dont know what league you could compare it to in Europe but the guy should enjoy his time. Especially the Warsaw derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hangoverPL Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi everyone I'm a supporter of Polonia Warszawa, the club that Joe has recently joined. I have lived in Canada when I was a kid - grade 7 junior high school in Mississauga, Ontario I would like to invite those of You who are interested in following Joe's career to www.wielkapolonia.pl - Polish might be tricky so I suggest clicking on English News. The Black Shirts played a test match yesterday and Di Buono proved to be a quality player, though he's small for a DM. As far as the Polish League is concerned - if retiring Polish league stars are moving to the MLS... It's quite a rough division, not much money in it aprat from Wisla, Kolporter/Korona, Legia and Groclin - but it can be fun to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I noticed the Polish league made it into FIFA 06, for what that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hangoverPL Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Wisla would have made it to the Champions League this season after winning 3:1 home to Panathinaikos and losing only 1:2 just before the final whistle. But thanks to their puny excuse for a keeper and a midfielder sent off the pitch they lost 1:4 in extratime... After we joined the EU a lot of Polish players are moving to Britain - Scottish Premiership and the English Championship. Four players are in the Premiership as well. I'd say Polish league is like the German 2nd Bundesliga, apart from Wisla, Korona and Legia who might avoid relegation in the 1st Bundesliga.
