This guy is a not a Levy type target for mine,

Too old and no resale value. We need pace and it aint gonna come from this fossil

If Janssen can get a loan for more minutes then this is a good move.

When we need a goal late on bringing Llorente on would feel a lot more dangerous than bringing on Vincent.

and he'd be a monster getting onto the end of Trippier's crosses

Since 2007/08 season he has never played less than 35 games in a season - just shows his general fitness.
He can do a Crouchy & go till 36.

:), he's a outstandingly fit bloke.

Although he will have to calm down on his moutain biking in london as there's a lot of cars about. Compared to the brechfa mountains.

Seems very out of our wheel-house but maybe that's no bad thing.

Bit of a kick in the tits for Vinny though.

He's just a replacement for Janssen. Perfect as a plan b - bags of experience, played and scored in 3 top leagues and seemingly happy to come in as back up. I don't see what the problem is.

We're apparently signing a wing forward to provide pace

Very good player. Shame he's not younger, but he could definitely do a job for us when Kane is out

Decent range of goals here, not just headers. Gonna sound weird but he could be our Giroud, a lot of people don't rate him but he can cause mayhem from the bench.

Unless our dutch friend is part of the deal :) on loan maybe.
That would be quite a good idea. We get experienced cover from a proven striker, Vinny gets regular game time to show what he can do and we have the option once we see how he works out.

Doesn't sound weird at all. When I see Janssen coming on I never think he is going to threaten so what must the opposition think? We need better back up.

Janssen is not going to lose value either, he's in a world cup year and excellent for holland so his value may even go up after a good world cup.

good luck trying to mark us up on corners when we've got Kane, Alli, Llorente, Dier and Toby in the box.

With the current transfer fees that are being paid, I think getting him for £15-20 million is a no brainer.
Proven in the PL, and won't be demanding a starting role.
Would expect Janssen to maybe go to Swansea on loan as part of a deal though.
