My message to Janssen would be...look at Sissoko's example. God fucking awful for ages, but he's clearly worked hard, and has turned his spurs career around in a big way.

Would absolutely love for big dick Vinny to get a look in if he properly gets his head down in first team training.
The Poch exodus is awfully hard to come back from though. With Kane looking to return from injury faster than almost anyone would have thought, he's going to really have to try to impress the gaffer. I'd be thrilled if Janssen could even be used to see out the last few minutes of games where we're safely ahead.

It’s like being forced to hit up ex girlfriends for sex because you can’t find any new trim. Fuck you levy!
Was he really not given a number before because “there weren’t enough to go around”? Had we truly hit our squad limit?? I always thought that was a bit of a dick move by the club. Give the guy a number for Christ sake! Seemed very harsh to ostracise him to that degree.He's basically got a month to make some sort of impression.
I imagine this is nothing more than giving someone a squad number to make up the numbers. He probably won't make a single squad appearance until he's gone.

Agreed. I'd be absolutely amazed if he made a single appearance. I'd say this move is partly Pochettino feeling sorry for the guy after the humiliation of being so openly whored around and still failing to sign for a single club, and partly to stop the media constantly asking about him in press conferences.He's basically got a month to make some sort of impression.

Quite. Would be beyond churlish to let that squad number go completely to waste (I can't recall, but were we at the maximum before Dembele & N'Koudou left?). Say Son and Llorente were both out before Kane gets back... Poch would look awfully silly to not even have Janssen eligible to be on the bench. Negligent, even.He's basically got a month to make some sort of impression.

I imagine it was a mix of him being injured for 6 months and having too many squad members. I assume we thought he'd be gone in January and he isn't.
No point giving a squad number to someone who had no future at the club.
Never forget Sissoko was good of course with Newcastle and France, so somewhat different.
Janssen was decent at his old club, Az. 27 goals in 34 games. So not different.
The new Martin ChiversIf he gets his chance he could really turn his career around!
And put a smile on Levy's dial!
Lol sure that’d be good ... but ... nahIf he gets his chance he could really turn his career around!
