He's a pure finisher, no doubt about that, but he's very similar to sharp in that he's totally ineffective without quality service, which we badly lacked post-lockdown.

No way we need Pukki. We have Sharp, almost the exact same player.
Just how much service you saw Pukki receiving? Right. Most of the people here feel that our achilles' heel is that not enough chances are created for the forwards. If that'd be all of it, no one in their right mind would suggest enquiring after Pukki. But the false comparison, I feel, being made here, saying that Billy and Pukki are all the same - well, it's just that. A false comparison. Yes, both are mainly finishers only, but whereas Billy keeps on banging them in from crosses - and usually with his head - Pukki runs the channels and finishes with his feet. So the service these said players mentioned need to score goals is bound to be different, too.Having watched all of a very bland Finland vs Wales, I can comfortably say that Chabuddy G favourite Kieffer Moore gave Pukki a lesson in leading the line this evening. Barely troubled the Welsh back line. It feels like a while since I saw Pukki play well tbh.
Not sure the (lies, damn lies ) statistics make a compelling case for that -He's a pure finisher, no doubt about that, but he's very similar to sharp in that he's totally ineffective without quality service, which we badly lacked post-lockdown.

Billy scored 3 goals from 16 shots last season (a goal every 5.3 shots)Sharp missed some right sitters after lockdown
I know we've never been linked with Joel Pohjanpalo and probably never will be Loughboro! But, since you watched the game, how did he look?
To be honest, no idea. Watching via S4C I struggled to differentiate between words that were the Finish players, and the Welsh commentary. I don’t feel any Finish players stood out particularly – I didn’t think Wales played well, but still controlled large parts of the game. Finland missed one sitter but barely threatened otherwise.
Pukki is 4 years younger, though
Can't understand how we scored any goals at all from no chancesWe don’t need Pukki as we don’t create any fucking chances. We need a creative midfielder and pace, ideally a player with both. We also need a forward with pace.
He played every minute of every game pretty much stood on the penalty spot and scored half his goals by the end of August...
He can't press, can't hold the ball up, can't go in behind, can't link play. He's a box striker and there's a reason a Norwich team playing with one couldn't get out of their own penalty box most of the season.
He's not scored for anyone since January 22nd, 16 games ago.What planet are people on when they dont rate pukki or don’t think he would improve us
Pukki on form and fully fit would be our best striker
He scored nearly double our top scorer in the worst team in the league last season
He was one of the best strikers in the championship in a long long time and almost single handedly got Norwich Up
He also almost single handedly got Finland to there first every international tournament Euro 2020
Scoring more goals than Lewandoski, Lukaku , Hazard and giroud
Everybody saying he’s not good enough who would you sign who realistically we could afford View attachment 90530
He's not scored for anyone since January 22nd, 16 games ago.
One of those 10 Euros goals came against Italy. The others were Greece (2), Liechtenstein (3), Armenia (2) and Bosnia (2).
He's the solution to a problem we don't have.
You have zero clue and must have never watched him
Is that why he scored more goals than lewandoski in Euro 2020 qualifying in that well known chance creating team Finland
So what... makes no difference for the next season or 2. If ever, Sharp isn't losing pace as never had it, same with Pukki. 6 yard poachers aren't really a thing in the current Prem, especially as starters. You could argue there's only really Aguero in the entire league but he plays in a slightly different side... and can score different kinds of goals too.
So you're advising us to sign a player with a persistent injury that would prevent him scoring goals (that's the reason you're saying he hasn't scored in his last 16 games).He’s had a foot/toe injury for the majority of the end of the season
So they don’t count then ?
60 big chances created. 5th best in PLWe don't create loads of chances. One of the worst performing teams in the league on chance creation, just above the bottom 3 I think

happy to be proven wrong but I doubt that is true...
Can we just please stop talking about Pukki. This is desperate if fans want us to consider a 32+ year old that once had a good season int championship a few years ago. Ffs sake this is route one mentality backwards, youth, athleticism and Wilder tactics Is what is needed to become a long stayer in this league which is much stronger than last season with transitioning teams now transitioned.
