[Vwbottom]

Well we know that hes definitely going somewhere from these photos.....









Maybe a new job at tesco's?

You have to remember he's already been over to meet Poch and view the training facilities. I'm sure they will have agreed terms too. Just a case of agreeing a fee with AZ then getting a medical done. Seems the fee is now agreed, so medical should be the only remaining formality, hopefully wrapped up quickly.

Really excited about this guy

Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me but he looks class and possesses genuine intelligence. Him, Kane, Eriksen, Lamela, Alli, Dembele and Gotze

The creative possibilities

Totally would, too

Here's a bunch of pictures of Janssen saying goodbye to people at AZ:

I think photos of players clearing their lockers should mandatory. Imgaine the Adebayor ones over the years!

Apparently just left AZ training complex with small suitcase in hand:

That shack looks a bit outdated

What are we taking the piss out of AZ for not being as rich as us now? Classy.

Why is pace your concern when he isn't slow? He is faster than Harry Kane and if memory servs he has popped a goal or two in, don't quote me on that though.

Janssen slow is a myth, not lightening quick, but not slow.

Faster than Harry? Not from the footage I've seen of him so far. Not for me. Harry increased his speed with help from poch et al and isn't slow by any means. Be good if they can do the same with VJ.

You're very observant, Sir.

But not as AZ kits are made by............ Yes UA

Why are so many people obsessed with speed? Janssen has something much better than speed, he has the instinctive knack of being in the "right place right time". Kane doesn't have that, not many players do have it. You don't need speed if you have that instinct, it can't be taught or coached, it's a natural instinct. Berbatov had it, Dempsey had it, van Persie had it, Henry had it, Clive Allen had it, Greaves had it, but not many others have it.

I can neither confirm nor deny he'll be joining my shift.

Game's moved on a lot; speed helps, defenders aren't slouches. Like I said, he does know where the goal is and that's crucial.

A real beer and chips player.

Levy would probably offer him half a shandy and a packet of crisps.

Yes because he has that "right place right time" instinct.

And another thing, just because some aren't 'evangelical' over a signing doesn't mean that they are against it per se. Doubts are legitimate here; he's largely an unknown quantity to most.

When he's confirmed a yid, though, I'll be behind him 100% and wish him the best and be willing him on to be amazing for us.

I agree. Pace is still a huge attribute in the prem nowadays for a striker, though. Just is.

When you say "in the premiership", it depends. In the case of the top teams who usually tend to dominate possession while the lower table teams tend to "park the bus" against them, speed is nowhere near as important as creativity. Leicester last season capitalised on Vardy's speed simply because they sat back and allowed teams to come on to them and then hit them on the counter where there was space behind for Vardy to run into. When teams park the bus, as a lot do against spurs, there is no space to run in behind, speed is nowhere near as effective as intelligent manoeuvring.

Not the crisps fella but shandy yes levy Does not do excess
