Guest poopoo Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 just out of interested, what position does he play?He is a striker. Lehtinen has played 80 matches in Finnish Premier League (called Veikkausliiga) and scored 28 goals. Still quite young player (22 yo). Difficult to say is he good enough for City, but I hope so. It would be great to see Finnish player in League 1 and hopefully next year in Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest poopoo Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I speak Finnish, but I'm not sure about my English skills!The story says, that Lehtinen has shaked off his injured thigh and is heading on Tuesday to be tested by Bristol City.Lehtinen says: "in the morning I didn't feel any pain in the thigh, so I can travel with confident mind."Lehtinen has already been twice on trial in Germany, so he is used to travel.And he continues: "I will travel on Tuesday and on Wednesday I will play in the training match. During the other days I will just train and I will be back in Finland on Sunday"I hope you at least understood the main points....I really appreciate if you can post here if you hear some news how he is doing there!

GrahamC Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Is this the same guy that was linked to us last year??I believe the Finnish guy we were linked with early in GJ's time was released by Cardiff and was a central midfielder called Koskela.

Steve Watts Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've looked on Champ Man and he's not on there. There's an Anthoni Lehtinen, but no Toni Lehtinen. Why isn't Toni Lehtinen on there...? I found the same problem with Tony Rougier..... :noexpression: Anywhoooooo.... You've heard more than me... I didn't even know he was on trial. Haven't seen anything on the official site, so unless we sign him, i doubt we'll be able to update you at all i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellyred Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Rings a bell, he was far too good for city though if I remember rightly had scored something like 20 goals in 21 internatonal games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poopoo Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Last post to this topic, at least for a while. According to Finnish media Lehtinen is coming back to Finland sooner than planned.The news say that the planned reserve match between Bristol City and Plymouth was postponed due to bad weather. Lehtinen trained once with the reserve team and since the team management wanted to see Toni in the real action it is possible that Toni will come back to Bristol in the future.Bad luck, it would have been great to see if he is good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
