    "Pukki IS CURRENTLY better than 2013 Gary Hooper 1 1.10%"

    Aye.

    I would say that Pukki, Stokes or Griffiths few of even their individual abilities actually match Hoopers.

    Out the 4 I would say Hooper had the best shot, touch, short passing, vision, strength, awareness, movement, link-up. Griffiths is the quickest, Stokes the best long passing, probably Griffiths the best crossing, Stokes the best at freekicks, Griffiths the best at corners and Pukki probably only the best at turning players. Griffiths or Stokes the best dribblers. None of them are really up to much in the air.

    And the only reason they are better at corners/freekicks/crossing/long passing/dribbling are because Hooper never done any of that. Hooper always passes and moved on the deck, never ran at players with the ball and didnt take set peices.

    He still needs time for me to judge him properly. He's started the season quite well and he looks confident but a few goals in friendlies and against a semi-pro Icelandic team does not a top Celtic striker make..

    Massive Massive game for Pukki.

    If he scores tonight, he's gonna have a great season.

    As I said, he has literally none of the attributes required of a top striker - especially not a lone striker. He's not fast, is weak as Forrest, can't hold it up, can't head it, and is a poor finisher.

    Only had 1 chance tonight but should have buried it. Goalie was in no man's land and defender was nearly on the deck instead he pokes it wide.

    Not good enough.

    We could compare their weights in the past and present as well to make predictions about their future. The result would be more accurate.
