It's about matching the striker to the style of play

CamJam and Oliveira were pretty prolific for us in the Champs until Farke came in and switched to a style that didn't suit them (but did subsequently suit Emi/Pukki). Smith will want to switch to his own style, which I doubt will suit Pukki as much. And we need to find a striker that will suit that style, whatever it is.

Genuinely concerned by Pukki absence. Looking at his age etc etc (NCFC) - WalksietheReturn, Dec 29, 13:19:47
- Get the lad from Luton for £2.4m and whoever is the top scorer for Peterborough (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Dec 29, 13:37:02
- So you think if he left we wouldn't replace him? (NCFC) - mr carra, Dec 29, 13:28:37
  - The last player we had that provided him with service cost very little... (NCFC) - Pixelman, Dec 29, 14:38:04
  - It’s almost impossible finding 20 goals. Which is what he will return in the championship. (NCFC) - WalksietheReturn, Dec 29, 13:31:27
    - I don’t think he’s a 20 goal striker anymore (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 29, 14:09:41
      - Probably is in the Champ with the right service (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 29, 14:28:31

        I must have missed oliveira being prolific (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 29, 14:51:40
        
        11 goals in 16 starts the season before Farke arrived (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Dec 29, 15:00:31
        
        Fair enough, I did miss it (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 29, 15:11:20
        
        Feels unlikely, doesn’t it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 29, 14:31:45
    - Obviously it's a risk, but I think it's one we have to take (NCFC) - mr carra, Dec 29, 13:51:54
