splendidrush 720 Posted July 5, 2019 He's got plenty of time to have a final payday in China and the Premiership is the biggest League in the World for exposure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,754 Posted July 5, 2019 Smells like BS to me. If those teams haven't made a bid then there is nothing for him to turn down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 401 Posted July 5, 2019 That would be how you'd kill all momentum. He seems a smart guy, unless it was retire after 1 season crazy money, the exposure and the chance to write yourself into football history for both himself and finland is here in the biggest league in the world.

hogesar 10,762 Posted July 5, 2019 At most I imagine some clubs made some vague comments in the direction of Pukki's agent - which wouldn't be enough for Pukki to go on and declare interest in leaving anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 676 Posted July 5, 2019 Pukki turning down the chance suggests that the club had agreed a fee and told him he can talk to them as he is under contract even before his new one was signed. The rubbish that gets reported is comical these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 609 Posted July 5, 2019 Also, while on the subject of utter nonsense from Read Norwich, look at this- https://readnorwich.com/2019/07/04/norwich-expected-to-announce-fahrmann-loan-on-friday/ Hmm... I very much doubt we're paying that as a loan fee seeing as though his value on transfer market is £4 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich T The Biscuit 676 Posted July 5, 2019 To reject them suggests that he had a quite a detailed conversation and decided it wasn't for him, which is either therefore the Chinese club tapping up the player or the player being disloyal to the club?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't suggest that, and I think the chances of that actually happening is zero. 2 hours ago, BobLoz3 said: Also, while on the subject of utter nonsense from Read Norwich, look at this- https://readnorwich.com/2019/07/04/norwich-expected-to-announce-fahrmann-loan-on-friday/ Hmm...

I agree that it seemed rather high, but it sounds like it might be the case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
