Smolarek a City target
Euzebiusz SmolarekCITY'S multi-national, multi-layered transfer wanted lists have been expanded to include Polish star Euzebiusz Smolarek.
Blues' boss Stuart Pearce is determined to bring in more firepower during the transfer window and Smolarek, who will be 26 in a week's time, is just one of many players home and abroad to catch his attention.
Sources in Smolarek's homeland suggest that several Premiership sides are interested in his signature and City confirmed last night that they had watched him.

Whether or not Smolarek makes it to England, it shows the calibre and standing of the kind of player Pearce is looking towards to improve his squad.
Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund would want around £2m for the World Cup striker who has been in impressive form in the German elite league since his move from Feyenoord in Holland.
Conclusion
Lodz-born Smolarek, who can play through the middle or out wide on the right and has even had a stint in central midfield, was named Polish Footballer of the Year in 2005 and has scored three times in as many games for his national side in the current Euro 2008 qualifying matches.
Unless investment talks between chairman John Wardle and financial suitors come to a remarkably swift conclusion, Pearce, who is fiercely determined not to sell in order to buy, will have only a limited budget in the window.
Even so, he has set himself the task of bolstering the Blues' strike-force for the second half of the season.
He wants at least one striker and an attacking midfielder and Lens' Olivier Thomert, a long-time target is still very much in his sights.
