Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

[Monkey boy]

Much prefer Janssen over Llorente as a sub.
At least VJ moves.

Just very very slooooowly

 

[sausage]

3rd choice goalie has got to be the easiest life ever. Even easier than being a fucking dj.

Easy if you sign for Chelsea or United as a 36 year old. Not for a young lad who wants to get a career going though.

 

[archiewasking]

VJ no longer has a squad number according to the official site......................

 

[spursfan77]

Did he kick Poch's cat or something?

 

[yankspurs]

They did him dirty. Yikes.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Not sure what the issue is, but it has been clear that Poch does not want him back.

I think he turned down a potential transfer last summer, before accepting the loan to Turkey. And, then when he was injured last season, the club did not want him back to rehab.

Given that we are over the limit for non-HG, it has been very clear that Janssen would not be back.

Just spotted that, seems harsh as not like we're gonna give the number 9 to anyone at the moment so may as well have just left it with him until he's inevitably sold?

Poch must really not have liked what he saw as pretty much been written off following only one season..

 

[Thewobbler]

Didnt poch say in july that VJ has no future here. So not suprised he hasnt been given a number.

He should go back to holland or if he is brave take a loan to a championship club and try get his confidence back.

We could not register him for the league - so I imagine we could not give him a number either.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Think it became clear that he just isn't at all suitable at this level in poch's eyes

Real blunder from scouts

Surprised Llorente didn't snaffle it then as he usually wears it if available.

 

[archiewasking]

Let's pray Kane doesn't get injured while Son is away. Llorente hardly fills me full of confidence as an option. What on earth can Janssen have done that was so bad that Poch won't even give him the time of day?

Wish one of the ITK mob could shed some light.

I think its being held for Troy Parrott.

I know we don't see training sessions but I find this very strange though, I think there has to be something else in there because he's been outed more than anyone I can remember under Poch in more recent years. It's not really normal for Poch to openly disregard a current players chances (or lack of) of playing again for us.

I'm sorry but there's no way a big enough difference in output between Janssen and Llorente for one to find himself at least on the bench every game and the other to completely neglected and cast out. Especially when the neglected one is much younger with actual room to develop.

Difference is one is more of a goal threat than the other, while Janssen is better with his movement and link up play, he never really got himself into the box to score... Which is kind of what we needed him to do.

Dont need in the know to recognise that the bloke was awful - hard to seen any real attributes

Slow - poor in the air - awful first touch - couldn't get involved in build up play - hard to think of a worse centre forward since Rasiak

 

[Yid-ol]

Llorente since joining spurs. 15 starts, 21 sub appearances, 5 goals.

Janssen since joining spurs. 12 starts, 27 sub appearances, 6 goals.....with 4 coming from the penalty spot.

I can't disagree, but they both provide very little goal threat in all honesty and yes, less for Janssen I agree. The way I see it though is with Llorente, I don't expect goals from him when he plays anyway and if he's not getting a goal, he's doing very little. I'd rather have a striker who barely scores that work hards,holds the ball up and brings others into play than a striker who barely scores and who does next to nothing when he doesn't.

 

[cider spurs]

Well, shame it hasn't worked out for VJ. Yes gets paid handsomely, but these past couple of seasons must have been a hard ride for him.

The club decided they wished to sign him, he decided he wanted to don the famous shirt and test himself.

For that alone, I wish him all the best for the future wherever that may be.

You can have a go at Janssen for his overal output, but to say his first touch is poor or that he doesn’t help with buildup is to overlook two decent things he’s done with us.
