I'd argue Kane is so good that any 2nd choice striker is going to look inadequate compared to him.In my opinion when you intend to be a constant and serious title challenger with also the demands of CPL and domestic cup competitions ahead there is little room for carrying passengers. Sissoko, Janssen and N'Koudou are three players who have had little or no impact since joining the club. Sissoko is an absolute waste of both money and resources and will hopefully get shipped off to WBA...Janssen is still sitting in Poch's "Pending Projects" file but surely he has only a limited amount of time and opportunity left next season to prove he can score goals in Harry's absence. I can see Vincent going somewhere like Palace / Watford / Huddersfield and being relatively successful but he just doesn't adequately fill that gap for me when Kane is not there. I don't expect an avalanche of goals from him but being a constant threat to the defences and bagging a few would be nice. N'Koudou just isn't good enough for Spurs and never will be, plain and simple.
Maybe Poch is looking at this season as a transitional one not only regarding Wembley but also certain players....one thing is clear though, if Janssen does have one more year to prove his worth then he needs to show a bit more prowess in goal scoring or he most definitely will not be running out at the new stadium in 2018/19.
I don't hate the lad, as I said before, and I'll cheer him gladly and loudly when he does turn out hoping for the metamorphosis that others are expecting to actually occur. I would love him to prove myself and the other doubters wrong so let's see what has happened when we review the season on May 13th 2018 after the Leicester game. COYS !
