Janssen or Llorente

[Shadydan]

It certainly wasn't before yesterday. Neither are good enough.

The question is who is better not are either good enough

The truth is they are both back up options to a world-class striker that will play every game he can.

When players don't get that consistency of games they lose sharpness and they don't build that familiarity of play with their teammates, (Bony at ManC is a case in point) so its going to be hard to find a young striker who can do that.

Then you should ask if you can find a player who would be happy with that situation. Its well documented that Morata, Chelsea's first choice, wouldn't sign because he'd be second fiddle to Kane.

So if we're looking for a Target man type striker, this is the calibre we can expect to attract.On the other hand, we have players, like Son, who can play as a different type of striker and if we went for another we'd definitely have more options. Of the Premier League's second choice strikers there are only 3 players that could be said are better. (Zlatan, Jesus and Giroud and none of these players would sign for Spurs)

Who is better? At the moment Llorente (even though i voted Janssen a few weeks ago); is he good enough? Yes, for what we need him for.

I was only saying at half time last night, "Llorente has spent the season lulling tonights opponents into thinking he is useless, I fancy he will score a hat trick in 13 minutes in the second half!"

Llorente all day long....Janssen always struggled to me whereas he just needed a confidence boost which I hope is what he received last night....and he sits on that bench patiently.

Both terrible for us but what sways it for me is Janssen attempts to runs

We need to sign a back up striker with experience of being a sub and effecting games when he comes on. No point in signing a regular who gets 15 a season if he hasn't experienced being an impact sub

As much as we take the piss, Giroud is ideal sub striker

That's because Giroud generally offers fuck all when he plays from the start

.........who moved because he wants more football, not less. And is on big, big money for a back-up striker.

Just because he wasn't happy with it doesn't make it not true. Arsenal will miss him terribly but they won't admit it.

He was also on big money because that's how you keep bench players happy. Hence why we are having this discussion. We could attract most strikers if we paid them 200k a week to sit on the bench.

Vinny. Quicker, probably better at holding it up, younger, more room to improve. Glad for Llorente he got the hat trick, but he really looks like a lamp post most of the time. And being commended as one of the best headers of the ball in the Premier League sounds great, but generally his heading gives the lie to that.

They've both been bad for us. The problem with Llorente is that he doesn't fit our style of play. Janssen is just shit

Agree with you post, but also think personally Lacazette at Arsenal is a better back up as well.

This post sums it all up completely, no disrespect to Janssen, but when we saw him play, he looked like he was trying his best possible, but was still way below par. His shape, run etc was all wrong. I hope he proves me wrong, but 2 goals in open play in the whole season is just embarrassing.
