No he's not. Look at Llorente's career achievements. Janssen is no where near his level.

Because they're easy to find within our budget?
About time we drop Kane for Greaves then, look how much he’s achieved in his career.

Watford managed it with Richarlison.

It feels like we create more than enough chances, it's just a case of finding someone with an ounce of Kane's finishing.
Ineanacho is by no means a great striker, but his goals/shots ratio is fantastic. We can forgo a strikers all round game, as we won't find anyone capable of deputising for Kane in that sense, as long as they can bloody finish!
Dortmund and last night are prime examples where we could do with a fox in the box. Doesnt have to be a world class player. Just some fucker who knows where the goal is. Even Hernandez would have been a better shout.
Loved the idea of Llorente and really wanted him to be a weapon for us, but instead he looks shot and his confidence is on the floor

Still haven't seen him hit a shot on target. Wtf is wrong with him? I thought he would be an excellent back up. He is worse than Sissoko

Look he’s been a top player for a long time and never had any pace.
He’s suffering from no pre-season and a distinct lack of rhythm, and also maybe our players aren’t attuned to getting the best out of him.

That doesn't even work as a come back mate

They took a chance on him. Like we took a chance on GNK and N'Jie. Sometimes punts work, sometimes they don't
My point is that we can’t loom at what a player has achieved, we need to look at how they’re performing now - and Janssen is better than Llorente right now.

You don't need a pre season to score tap ins. You could put Gary Doherty up front and he would have scored those chances.

Llorente scored goals in the prem last season and has scored goals in major leagues throughout europe and internationally.
Janssen failed to make an impact on in his debut season in the prem and only seems able to score in second rate leagues like the Turkish and Dutch leagues.
I really don't see that there is any comparison
Neither him nor Janssen are the type of players we need. If there isn't any striker that wants to come to be back up to Kane, then we should either go for someone similar to Son, who can play as cover for Kane or on the wings, either side of Kane (ie. not a pure striker). If there isn't one affordable in that window, we could try to promote one or two of our youth players instead of wasting funds on players that don't fit our system.
Neither can score for us, but Janssen's movement, pressing, and link-up play was much better than anything we've seen from Llorente.

I don't care what his past achievements are, I care about how he's playing for Spurs now. Players shouldn't be picked on reputation.

It's not his lack of pace. That's not something he can control and not something that really matters.
He hasn't been brave, aggressive and used his size, he hasn't shown desire to get on the end of anything and he's been strolling around not bothering to press or chase lost causes (not that other players have recently mind).
Pretty sure his first effort on goal for us was last night and it was hardly a convincing one. There's a reason he's had such little sight of goal though and it's not because other players are not providing for him, it's because he's not gambling and trying hard enough. He's gone rapidly downhill since the RM away game and even then I thought he was pretty average.
I hope things will change, but last night felt like another Soldado moment.

What a pointless statement. In comparing Janssen and Llorente past achievements matter. Janssen flopped it in the prem. Llorente is proven in the prem. So saying that Janssen is a better player than Llorente is totally wrong.
