It certainly wasn't before yesterday. Neither are good enough.
The question is who is better not are either good enough
It certainly wasn't before yesterday. Neither are 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.
That's because Giroud generally offers fuck all when he plays from the startWe 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

.........who moved because he wants more football, not less. And is on big, big money for a back-up striker.
Agree with you post, but also think personally Lacazette at Arsenal is a better back up as well.The truth is they are both back up options to a world-class striker that will play every game he can.

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.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
