[Link] Teemu Pukki

​

But you can understand why people (me as well) turn into cynical * with all the special info and secret squirrel *.

 

Of course I can mate, I'm the same any time anyone else does it unless they can provide a valid source. As I said, I don't take offence to people doubting the validity of my information, it's completely up to each individual what they choose to believe or not.

 

i have apologized in the finnbogason thread, thought you were on the wind up with the other 2

 

When he turns out to be the next Marc Antoine Fortune itll be just another "told you so" kind of thing.

Hope Im wrong. I guess Im going through a spell of pessimism. Sorry.

 

No need to apologise in the slightest mate Can completely understand why people would get riled and think I'm at it. As I've said, I can't guarantee any deal will happen as I can't force them through, but I do have a very credible source who has been bang on in the past.

 

You've obviously missed the break down of his goals to minutes on the park. He's scored 8 goals in the equivalent of 12 or so Bundesliga games. That's actually astounding considering the fact that it's the strongest league in the world. He was only kept out of the team by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, which is no great shame. His goal scoring record at HJK was also very good.

 

For *'s sake, give the guy a chance. You've very likely never seen kick a ball.

 

I totally agree with you mate I think Pukki will be a brilliant signing for us

 

Marc Antoine Fortune was another guy who hardly saw the kick of a ball before he came here but had a good scoring record "if you take into account the time he was actually on the pitch".

A gamble. Like this one is.

 

Oh, thanks I bet your Finnish is just as good, you're equally welcome on our forums :icon_mrgreen:

 

We paid 3.8 mil for fortune, too. Maybe if Celtic stopped paying 3, 4 million for gambles like these, and saved it, and coughed up the 5.5-8 million instead for a real striker, we wouldn't be without a good hit up front for the CL. But nevermind

 

he played under mowbray at west brom, i doubt he thought it was a gamble

 

A gamble with the board's money. And he turned out to be pish didnt he?

 

Im just being normal pessimistic me. It just bothers me that we would spend 3.5 on him and reject 5 on Finn who we know would score us goals. This guy is a 3.5 million "maybe" and that just makes me irate. A typical striker brought in by Celtic thesedays. Maybe he is worth it I really hope so

 

fortune wasnt actually pish, 1 in 3 for the type of striker he is, was no bad

 

we probs spent more on fortune than we have on pukki and we were not in as strong a financial situation, every signing is a gamble if you think about it. i think pukki will be a great addition.

 

he defo signed then?

 

Another Finn here who suddenly became a Celtic fan for no obvious reason.

Just kidding - I actually lived in Sweden when Herr Larsson scored goals night after night in Celtic so I became a fan already back then because Larsson and Celtic were all over the Swedish television and newspapers. Henke they called him, maybe the same nickname was used in Glasgow as well?

I have seen this Pukki character play live 7 or 8 times and think he is no doubt good enough for SPL (but you would win that competion with your current squad as well, right?). Not as sure about Champions league but it's totally possible. Depends a lot on what kind of players you have to feed him.

 

Yup!

 

Any pictures of this guy in Glasgow?
