Reminds me of a more beefed up Alan Shearer with his work rate, strength and determination. Maybe needs to trim a few pounds off but its early in the season.

Once he gets on the scoresheet, and its coming very soon he will be up and running and will rapidly become a crowd favourite. He will tip some big matches in our favour I feel.

Thing i struggle with is this guy only recently turned 22, that kind of strength and hold up play you usually see with more eperienced strikers. I'm still marvelling that both Dann and Delaney are uncomprimising CB's. One went off injured, the other was constantly getting treatment, all because of Vinny boy.

Can see why poch likes him. Looks like he is more than willing to put a shift in.

Liking the look of him so far in the handful of pre-season and early season showings.

Would have liked a touch more control in his one on one attempt but the main thing for me was he showed composure in trying to lift it over the GK rather than a "Defoe style" blast straight Down his throat.

On another day he could have scored a couple so just hope he doesn't start panicking and trying too hard for that first goal

push in Alli for Eriksen (who needs to raise his game at present) and Dembele alongside Dier and we have a side that not many would relish taking on.

I'm glad that we signed him before some other club swooped in, after pondering for a while on an alternative striker.

He's a grafter. His first goal will come and then he'll get a hatful.

It's important that nobody puts too much pressure on him to get a goal so that it becomes an issue.

I know others disagree but I think Kane's long term position is at 10 so to have Vincent to play as an out an out forward is ideal.

Really hope he does the same to that **** Terry.

No pressure. But I put a 10er on him for the golden boot. :LOL:

I keep seeing people say "Kane should be a number 10" my response to that is, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

If him being a number 10 prevents him from scoring the amount of goals he has been scoring then I don't want him as a number 10 because Harry is the best goalscorer at this club by some distance.

If it doesn't prevent him scoring goals then I agree.

So move our top goal scorer and current golden boot winner from his best position and also move a 20 year old who scored 10 league goals in his first PL season coming straight out of league one either, again, out of position or onto the bench for someone who's played two games in the premier league?

I appreciate Janssen has done well in his first two appearances for us but I think some people are getting a bit carried away.

I think he's just built pretty squarely, mate. One of those physiques. Actually why he's so strong.

I actually think he tried to get some bend on it whilst lifting it over the keeper which is why is squirted wide the way it did. Hard to do with your weaker foot.

He'll start scoring soon enough. Even if he doesn't his contribution is already invaluable imo.

I can't see how we leave him out now. Should only be done if he needs a rest.

Still think we lack pace up top. In any of the positions. I may be the only one, but a berahino type player, that can play up top or left or right with pace, would be a great addition to our current team

Flexibility is the key.

I think we'll find the front 4 will be flexible and poch will mix it up. I prefer Harry at point as that's where he's battered goals in over the last two seasons; it's his game.

I think we'll see poch shift Janssen about the 4 and him and harry will also take turns at 10 depending on the game.

What we have now are the players that really enable us to have the front 4 cycle through each other's positions and fuck with the defense's collective head.

Janssen is a natural for that as he likes to drop and drift and pull players about and then make angled runs onto the shoulder. And he's not shy - actually, he's a beast - at tracking and winning the ball back.

It's like having a much more cunning dembele that can also score loads of goals.

If we get a penalty , hope Janssen takes it instead of Kane & scores. First goal in league by hook or crook will only make him better.
