daisy 142 Posted July 5, 2020 Just checked out a highlights video and was impressed. Yes I know it`s a lower standard of football but a very positive player, will be interesting to watch. Check him out before writing him off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,614 Posted July 5, 2020 There's a very interesting article on the Athletic from Michael Bailey about the new signings. Without giving the whole article, he's seen as a long term successor to Pukki and has been given extra training to try and get him adjusted to higher levels. Seems his performances in European competitions were the reasons behind our interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know virtually nothing about him, but a few on here thought he might have come in as a wide player predominantly rather than a Pukki replacement / competitor - I think he can play wide and through the middle? That seemed to be the main idea (although all guessing on here of course!)... maybe him and Hernandez as the two wide men next season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Fred 526 Posted July 6, 2020 Cheap and cheerful signing just like the stowmarket duo like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been toying with the idea for a week or so now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pukki is also known as a wide player, having spent a large part of his career as part of a front two playing on the left, which is where we started playing him when he first arrived. Perhaps they will play as part of a front two in a flexible 352 formation, something Farke is supposed to favour as a real option in some, if not many games.

canarydan23 4,561 Posted July 6, 2020 I would've thought he was being lined up as a possible wide player to replace either Buendia or Cantwell rather than as an out and out forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
