and there's the rub

he's clearly a capable PL striker

he's equally not the type of PL striker that we needed this season [absent the rest of the team being far better quality]

Wonder what his record might have been at this level in a better team

In the context of this PL season, Pukki's eight goals is pretty impressive (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 11, 10:12:33
- And imagine (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 11, 11:05:38
- He's played nearly every minute of every game though (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 11, 10:37:39
  - Playing fewer minutes sometimes better (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 11, 12:07:25
  - Some reasonable points (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 11, 11:15:57
  - and there's the rub (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 11, 10:51:55
    - If he played for Man City he could be their top scorer (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 11, 10:57:51
  - Stands up well to some of those on minutes played (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 11, 10:47:26
    - I think most West Ham and Spurs fans will tell you though... (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 11, 10:51:18
- I love him. I love watching him, even this season when everything's been a pretty hard (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Mar 11, 10:29:29
- 3 pens. Still think he needs a second striker or number 10 to help him out (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 11, 10:18:46
  - He does. But 10 goals + in the Prem has always been a decent return (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 11, 10:20:42
    - It is, just a pity no one else is chipping in with 5 or 6 goals from midfield or the wing (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 11, 10:23:24
    - He's scored 44% of our PL goals over two seasons (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 11, 10:23:12
- quite a few pens in there though. And Sarg is the only other player >1 (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Mar 11, 10:16:05
  - Kane, Ronaldo and Maupay (I think) also take pens (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 11, 10:18:10
    - true. Pukki normally converts them - i always assume he will score when he takes (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Mar 11, 10:25:05
