If that is true, then why didn't we try and get him in the summer when he was out of contract?I agree 100% . Dembele would have been perfect as a young hungry striker that Poch could develop and we apparently negotiated but refused to pay £5m because he was available for free in the summer when we didn't get him anyway. I can only think we didn't go for him because having 2 Dembeles would have been too much for @Bus Conductor. Paying the amount that we did for Janssen made no sense when the Dutch League these days is no stronger than the Championship.
TBF it don't take a lot to 'vex' SC........Today it was the away fans having the bare faced cheek to sing loudly
The only thing Janssen was good at was attracting excuses from supporters and he cannot even manage that now.
We 100% won't sign one in Jan. No chance at all. Son is reserve striker. Did great against city, MiddlesbroughWhat's clear is we absolutely must sign a striker in January.
We don't know if Janssen will come good at some point in the future or not, but he's certainly nowhere near good enough to play for us at the moment. So if we do have any pretensions at all of trying to achieve something this season, capable back up to Kane is as much a priority as it has ever been.

I've asked the same question on these boards and the answer I always get is that he was guaranteed first team football at Celtic.If that is true, then why didn't we try and get him in the summer when he was out of contract?
