Just watching that video, He scored 12 Right footed in open play, 13 Left footed in open play, 5 Headers & 5 Penalties.

Not one was outside the box but he scored from all angles.

At 21 years of age? Sign him up. Perfect foil for Kane and co plus Poch will work wonders on him

Agree but I think predominantly left footed as he took the pens with his left.

I've come to learn your eye for individual players, so I'll trust your excitement. I just can't help but thinking that he'll be put on one of those Pochettino special training programmes basically keeping him off the pitch for anything but mundane matches for all of 2016. He may become more than a good fit by the end of the season, but might not necessarily be exactly what we need by the start of the season.

Chill out? Yes - great. I expect that we'll see a total meltdown on SC if the transfer fails. If the deal has been done (bar the signature) then get the signature on paper right away. That's basic in business. Why wait?

AZ may be demanding well within what we usually pay now. But in a few days that might change.

Have lessons been learned from past transfer dealings? Seems not...


That'll save a few days' wages.:)

Think he will need service by the look of the video. It's what Kane hasn't had Enough of

But also, last season we often had plenty of service that was never utilised. Ironically, we didn't have close to as good service with Soldado in the club as we had last season.

The one thing he has over Kane is he appears to have a bit more grit and fearlessness to his game. Scores a bit more poacher like goals resulting in situations where he was being a bit brave and putting his body on the line.

His eye for goal and the fact he is good with both feet means he will always score goals. His movement is good to .

His downsides are his control can let him down and doesn't score goals outside the premiership.

Similar to ruud van nistoroy from what I have seen . Plenty of talent and plenty for poch to work with

I like your theory that we're just waiting and that's why it is not done right now. Clearly no idea how complex signing a player is. If it takes a few more days to complete then there's clearly a reason why. It's not because we're just sitting on it for a few days.

Poch can improve his pace/agility, just as he did with Kane.

The one thing you can't teach to a striker is that uncanny awareness of 'right place, right time', and Janssen clearly has it imo.

Superb signing, and yet another example of our recruitment team defying the market and finding value when Benteke's and Deeney's are going for >£30m.

Penalty box not premiership typo

If it is true that he's turned down Psg and Spammers for us no doubt the pull of Pochettino being here has something to do with it.

There not going for that money though.... Once you have done it in the prem, price goes up.
