FinnishOwl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 6 hours ago, room0035 said: Yet according to the above Teemu Pukiki is due back for our game a player they picked up on a free from Finland. If only we had a scouting team like that, that looked outside of the premier league and championship to pick up good free agent players. Pukki never really blossomed until he went to Norwich. He had a lot of chances elsewhere but didn't become the dangerous striker he is nowadays. And you could tell last season that he as well needs a proper team around him and cannot just score goals for fun without service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint and Marriott yet two more examples of not bringing in fit ready players instead players that have barely played and get injured. Our whole scouting and recruitment teams need scrapping and starting again. We have never been as useless signing players as we have these last 2 or 3 season.

Of course there are a lot of them out there. But have you ever considered what a coincidence it is to find one even with the best scouting team ever? And Pukki was a cheap bet by Farke; had he failed, no one would have noticed and he probably would have gone back to Denmark or maybe the German league and continued his decent career there. The thing is that we don't seem to have much money so getting any of those potential players in is very hard if not impossible. It's possible that the pandemic will shift things permanently but I fear it is for the worse. Edited December 4, 2020 by FinnishOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Good time to play Norwich away.? Think Norwich will be thinking thank foook we have Sheffield Wedneday this week. Nailed on point at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Strange that Derby are nearly injury free, and are bottom of league. And Norwich are the complete opposite. Shame about Pukki being fit. Hope he sits on the bench for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Pukki 36 in 56 in the Championship. Pulis has had a word with Rhodesey....big man-hug to Pukki in the warm-up and accidentally stand on his foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it’s a lot easier to score goals against Rotherham and QPR than it is against City and Chelsea. No shame in a player not hacking it in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did very well at the beginning but then started suffering when the people around him also lost momentum. It took a while for him to get back this season (also had difficulties in our international fixtures), but he proved that he is a very good goalscorer by not being a one season wonder.

The Wall Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Sorry to be negative, but I think we'll get battered tomorrow. Pukki back, Luongo out, maybe Bannan out, couple of our recent hard won points have needed a big favour from the ref, Norwich make more chances than anyone in the league. In fact, I've talked myself out of it, 1-0 Wednesday 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant movement and terrific finisher. I remember in the opening game last season (I think) against Liverpool he looked the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a quite good example of what a bit of muscle and healthy determination can do to a player with potential. He was a bit small frame when he was younger and almost too nice to be a lethal finisher. That kind of change is something that some of our players could use, and I hope Pulis will help with both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
