Would you have him back here?

 

Not a chance. Saw him play the other night, he was brutal

 

Bring the party home.

 

No mate.

Has done nothing since the restart. I think there are still massive question marks about his temperament. Really wouldn't trust him when the pressure was on.....unless we get Stokesy back to put all his goals on a plate for him.

 

Nope he's not good enough mentally.

 

True pal. Apparently we could be getting Weissman anyway

 

Pukki Party will return to Celtic Park in July when Norwich will be visiting for a friendly! What kind of welcoming should Teemu expect from the home fans or does anyone even remember him?!?

Regardless, get your GIF:s ready! ;-)

 

What a torn faced * he was with us, looked depressed as * whenever he was on the park.

Can only assume it was someone giving him the news that his blonde locks were going quickly.

 

Minnesota United announced today that the club has signed forward Teemu Pukki to a Designated Player contract through June 2025 with a club option through December 2025. Pukki will join the Loons pending receipt of his P1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and will occupy an international roster spot.

“I feel as though we have gotten that goalscorer we have been craving ever since Christian Ramirez left. He’s a gold standard, proven goalscorer,” said MNUFC Head Coach Adrian Heath. “If you look at his record he’s scored at a high level at every team he’s played for. His goalscoring record in the Premier League, the Championship and the Finnish National Team speaks for itself. He’s a great professional, what you see is what you get, always as a smile on his face, gets his work done and is a great teammate. The fact is, he scores goals and I know that if we continue to create the opportunities we have this season he will no doubt be successful in this league. We are delighted to get him here and get him integrated with the group.”

The Finnish forward joins Minnesota United after five seasons with Norwich City. Pukki was a standout goalscorer in the English Premier League with Norwich. There, Pukki appeared in 210 matches, scoring 88 goals and recording 29 assists – his 88 goals scored would make him the fourth all-time leading goalscorer in the club’s 120-year history. In his final season with Norwich City, he tallied 10 goals and eight assists through 3,054 minutes played across 43 overall matches. He made his professional debut at 15 years old with FC KTP during the Finnish Cup in June 2005. Pukki also had stints in three top soccer leagues (German Bundesliga, Scottish Premiership and Danish Superliga) and two Spanish leagues (LaLiga 2 and Segunda Federación).

“With Teemu [Pukki], what we’re doing is we’re adding an incredible guy and an incredible pro, which is something that’s important to us. On the field, it’s pretty simple: He’s an elite goal scorer. I think he’s got a lot more to his game than that. He’s a really good soccer player and he can hold the ball, bring others into play,” said Minnesota United Technical Director Mark Watson. “It’s a real credit to the club and our growth in terms of how we go about our business, but also being a club that can attract these types of players. Teemu Pukki was a free agent – he could have gone anywhere – and he had a lot of offers from big clubs in top leagues around the world, and he chose Minnesota.”

Internationally, Pukki is the all-time leading goalscorer for Finland with 38 goals through 112 appearances since his debut in 2009. The 33-year-old has also tallied 15 assists, two of which he tallied during the European Qualifiers in June 2023. He is teammates with midfielder Robin Lod.
