Stoke boss praises Tuncay for improvement in fitness levels

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 07/27/2010 - 19:37

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has lauded Turkey striker Tuncay for improving his fitness levels over the summer.

The 28 year old joined the Potters from Championship side Middlesbrough for £5m in August 2009, but he struggled to make a real impact, starting just 13 Premier League games.

"Tuncay's worked hard in pre-season and he's looked sharp," Pulis told BBC Radio Stoke. "He looks a lot fitter than he was last year."

"It's very important that people recognise that we are overloading the players at the moment," added Pulis.

"We're not preparing as we would do if it was a league game and we're making sure that they get a lot of work done."
