Agree, sadly there was little in Janssens performance to give any indication that he will be any better this season. It looks very much like his style of play and strengths just don't fit or work with the way we play.

In view of these links to past posts, I don't suppose that the @Sweech comment to me of "You have a weird memory of this and I don't think any of it is actually accurate" actually holds water.
According to him, not only was Fazio better than Alderweireld - it seems that he was better than Vertonghen as well. And Walker was another player not highly regarded - the same player that went to Man City from Spurs for a record transfer fee.
We all have opinions and some may in time turn out to be not well-considered ones. I just wish that @Sweech would have acknowledged those opinions...

I have acknowledged those opinions plenty of times? Like being wrong on Alderweireld.
You just accused me of weird stuff that wasn't accurate.
Frankly I think this is the weirdest vendetta ever. The fact you can even remember it creeps me out a little. If all you wanted was for me to admit being wrong or writing stupid shit I bet you'd only have to look something like 2 weeks back.

@Jospur @Sweech
Guys, come on. I think you both have clarified your stance pretty well, after days of going over this. That is, the stance on whether or not one poster is or was wrong about Fazio, a player who is no longer with the club, in a thread a bout King, (a player who hopefully will never be with the club).

You only acknowledged that you were wrong about Alderweireld after your past posts were shown.
I didn't accuse you of any weird stuff. All I said (accurate) is shown just a few pages back. Not weird at all.
Just to keep matters accurate...
At any rate it's now very clear how things stand. Let's move on.

None are out and out strikers

Would be nice to see the same kind of stats for strikers.
The problem with this analysis is that Josh King played primarily as the central striker in the second half of the season when he scored fairly prolifically, and this chart classes him as a winger or AM.
I think Josh King can become a good PL player, and his ability to play both as a striker and a wide AM is one of the reasons we're apparently considering him for squad depth. But Sonny can more fairly be categorised and judged as an AM in the chart above than KIng.

Isn't that somewhat flawed as its a fairly luck based metric when only using a one season sample size?

shots per goal is a hugely fluctuating stat and not really worth putting much stock into.
I wrote a big thing on King and stats recently if you want a slightly more advanced version:

won't be everyone's cup of tea but one thing is next to certain, his goal rate will slow up
