Would have liked to have seen him on the pitch more personally and despite his important contributions, I'd rather see Janssen hunting and chasing the ball down than Llorente barely able to run but with the fact that Poch really doesn't want him involved I'm delighted we've managed to get him out of the door. Hopefully Nkoudou will follow soon.

Good luck to him. Tried his best but another player from the Dutch league who couldn’t cope with the Prem.

Club legend, will truly be missed. Left behind quite the legacy, hopefully the likes of Kane and Parrott won't feel that burden for too many years.

Strange transfer indeed, but wish him all the best nonetheless.

This will be the 4th league he's played in, at this rate he'll run out of leagues before he retires.

He was somewhere between Kane and me playing Sunday league after a heavy night in Windsor the night before.

Thought he'd be brilliant after a few YouTube vids. Unfortunately it really didn't work out for both of us. Good luck Vinnie

Has had half a good season in his career.. it seems that was the exception that proves the rule. Can think of worse places to go than Mexico so good luck to him, but let’s be honest he just wasn’t good enough.

Still a weird transfer for me. We have done well scouting players in the last 8/10 years generally but even the likes of Holtby, Ghaly, Paulinho, Chiriches, Fazio, Wimmer etc who didn't make it you could see glimpses of why we decided they were worth a punt.

With Janssen it was pretty much instantaneous from his first start you could see he wasn't gonna cut it. Not through want of trying I might add. You just couldn't see how he got all those goals in Holland.

He had a weird body type for a centre forward, I can't really think of anyone similar.

Anyway best of luck to him

Really hope he does well over there. Good luck to him. Sad it never worked out, similar to Soldado.

Just looked way off the quality required at this level. Think it's quite telling that no club in Europe took a punt on him at that price. Was word that Brighton were in for him last summer but he turned down the move. If true, think it was unwise. Chance to move to stay in the PL and try and rebuild his reputation and now finds himself over in Mexico. Good luck to him anyway
