Vincent Janssen

[goughie1966]

Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott are both significantly superior players to Janssen. Neither start for Arsenal ever. Why can't you see that Janssen is simply not of the required quality to even be a squad player in a team that has aspirations of regular Champions League football and challenging for titles.

Teams like Stoke, Swansea, Crystal Palace and West Ham have better centre forwards than him in their squads...

Wow.

I CAN SEE Janssen is not good enough. But he's the best we can get. Why can't you understand this? Do you not think Poch and Levy would like another better quality striker? OF course the would, but there isn't one that we can afford. And if there was he won't come to sit on the bench all season.

Walcott and Giroud are on over £100k a week each. On what planet do you think we could afford either of those to sit on the bench as back ups for us? Arsenal can afford to have them 2 plus Lacazette. That's over 300k a week. WE CAN'T!

Name them. Name the ones that will come and be prepared to sit on the bench waiting for Kane to be injured. You think we could afford to buy Benteke and sit him on the bench. Firstly he wouldn't do it and secondly he couldn't afford it. Maybe Andy Carrol?

Honestly if some of you lot were in charge of our finances we'd be bankrupt in a year.

So West Ham have Hernandez, Carroll, Ayew and Sakho. All are better than Janssen and I imagine all would have loved to have come to Spurs, not saying they are all of the required quality, but that they are all better than Janssen.

Stoke have Bojan and Berahino on the bench, both are better than Janssen.

Swansea have Llorente, who I would imagine is not on that much and would come to Spurs for sure.

Just pointing out that it isn't that hard and that Janssen is not good enough.

Sakho and Carroll are injury ridden to a severe degree
Ayew is a different type of player and could be instead of Sissoko, not Janssen
Hernandez, we've probably inquired about and failed to sign in the past

Just pointing out that it is that hard to sign a player who would like to come, would try to put in an effort, could be reliable injury wise and who is a proven international.

• Hernandez - Better than Jansson, wouldn't want to sit on the bench
• Carroll - Probably better than Jansson but 1) Wouldn't want to sit on the bench 2) Is one of the most injury prone players I know
• Ayew - IMO, not any upgrade on Jansson. He's really not that great
• Sakho - lol, he's terrible
• Bojan - He's not a striker
• Berahino - He's ABSOLUTELY terrible
• Llorente - Better than Janssen but wouldn't want to sit on the bench. Seems fairly injury prone as well.

Bojan and berahino...pull the other one mate

Plus all of these players, regardless of ability are maxed out in terms of potential - none of them are getting a great deal better than they are.

Janssen is 23, has a good attitude and cost us £17m a year ago - his ability may not have come through yet but IMO there's a lot to work with. We could not go out and get a similar player (age/potential) for that money now.

I personally hope Poch will work with him and get that bit more out of him as a player.

Well if we allow him to leave then it's clear we will be buying a forward as well as Barkley.

Hopefully Balde not being a target "at this stage" means until we know for sure that Juventus have 100% pulled out.

Hope we have other quality ( and most importantly gettable) targets.

 

[Clark28]

if VJ goes we must have someone coming in who can play up top.

hopefully a player who can play on the wing too, that way they can play with Kane, as well as in place of him.

None of those would have been better IMO.

Gabbiadini at Southampton would've been a good shout before he joined them.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

I think a Martial/Balde type forward would be what we're looking for to replace Janssen (if that's the case). Are either available to us, I think not, but it would need to be someone capable of playing not just up top. In order toget the calibre of player required to make a difference, we would have to be looking at players who probably wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench covering for Kane every week, hence they'd need to be able to get minutes elsewhere.

Josh king is better than Janssen and can cover alternative positions

Not sure why we didn't go for Jesé from PSG. Looks like he has all the attributes Jansen doesn't. Jess is suited for our game an Jansen would thrive at Stoke.

He is just on loan. I believe we don't to incoming loans as a rule.

 

[double0]

Janssen is still young enough to turn it around and for all the talk about Pochettinho being this great manager coach able to improve player, why are our own fans wanting to get rid of Janssen doesn't make sense. He is a Dutch international who had a brilliant scoring record in Holland...If you look at his performance level when playing for Holland you can clearly see he's talents. As mentioned above it will be very difficult to improve on Janssen playing squad rotation we don't pay the wages.

Janssen needs to score a couple of goals from open play and he would be challenging for a starting place, he is a Mark Hughes type of striker imo Janssen has a high ceiling with great potential.

Poch gave him 3 minutes on Sunday ffs...he needs to make the most of his opportunities!

 

[rabbikeane]

Chelsea wanted Llorente, was quoted £30m for an injury prone player in his mid 30s

 

[Sweech]

Probably because PSG didn't actually want to sell him and only loaned him.

Also lets wait and see if this isn't another one of those has a good performance once and now gets hyped out of control players.

Quite frankly, one of the dumbest posts ever made on here. Get some actual football knowledge.

Not that I rate any of them that highly, but they have all shown the ability to trouble defenders and score goals a this level, Janssen has not.
