Vincent Janssen

[SoCalSpurs]

Does that mean that you 'eat sausage'?

No....it means I'm a Scot that works on an oil rig in the middle of the North Sea that likes to battle the other multis on here.

Fuck your half and half scarfs, Tottenham Club Shop are selling hybrid players.

The VICTOR X VINCENT collection:

 

[clevelandspur]

With these 2 strikers you are really spoiling us.
Oh no. Levy has brainwashed me.
I'm over grateful for having 2 strikers.
How do you do it daniel!

If you believe the bullshit spewed last season we now have 5 strikers!!!

Kane, Janssen, Chadli, Clinton and Son

Fuck your half and half scarfs, Tottenham Club Shop are selling hybrid players.

The VICTOR X VINCENT collection:

Can I get my Vinctor with a neck, please?

 

[Jayc1]

Still baffles me that we hire an interviewer who can barely string a sentence together.

[Joe Clash]

Still looks happy!

Scarf and kit 2 for 1....

 

[Aberdeenshire yid]

Starry starry night.
But, I could have told you,Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you,o starry starry night!

Don McLean he saw the future!

 

[Benjamin]

Not sure if anyone else has posted this yet.

I noticed a little detail in Janssen's first interview video - I think he'll wear number 9 this season

If you look closely at his collar it's got 9 written on it.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Huh... I can't remember the last time the official site used a random journalist to talk about a new signing, but there you go.

 

[Kafkaesque]

Still looks happy!

He looks like a fucking kid being allowed to train with his fav team

 

[Kafkaesque]

If you don't think all the other big teams are going to improve you are kidding yourself. Chelsea have Conte who is an exceptional manager and they will undoubtedly be better than the shambles they were last year (unfortunately), United now have not only Mourinho but Zlatan and Mkhytarian and they will grind out results playing Jose's crappy football, City have arguably the best manager in the world in Guardiola and have added Gundogan and Nolito to what was probably the best squad on paper in the league anyway. Liverpool will benefit with a full Klopp pre-season, although their mediocre squad most likely will mean they won't be challenging for anything. Everybody will improve, even us, but we have to make sure we go that extra length to get to a better stage than last season.

There's every chance, they will indeed improve. But you're stating it very matter of factly. This isn't Fifa or FM but real people, and changing the man in charge of an enviroment such as a football team is always going to be high risk. Yeah, it can improve things - vastly even - but likewise it can all go pearshaped soon enough.

You can toss as many names in, you want. And Pep could buy the world's best in each of the 11 positions, and it could still turn to shit. The better players, and especially the better a (man-)manager the less risk of it going wrong, but it's never ever a case of everybody improving because everybody is buying on paper better players. If that was the case Atletico Madrid wouldn't consistently be getting further than every English team, just to bring one example.

poch really is a lean machine these days

Lost a lot of weight since joining us

Double sessions?

 

[Maccer]

Double sessions?

Saw a Poch Sky interview a good few months back where he told the reporter he was hitting the gym as mrs Poch said he needed to !

 

[Blanchflower]

Huh... I can't remember the last time the official site used a random journalist to talk about a new signing, but there you go.

I hope he's better than Dirk Kuyt

 

[YidoBuckler]

Three from the Suffolk massive!

Reppin' Suffolk in the new striker thread, like it.

 

[SantaHat]

He seems like a likable guy...but so was Soldado. I'll reserve my judgement until he's actually played a few matches for us.

 

[Chucklevision82]

I don't know who this guy is, but the fact we've signed another striker has given me a massive boner.

 

[coughymachine]

I like the idea of two strikers. Gives us more flexibility.

Returning to the issue of accommodating two strikers, HITC Sport is reporting that part of Pochettino's pitch to Janssen was that 4-4-2 was an option.

Mauricio Pochettino has told Vincent Janssen he can play in 4-4-2 at Tottenham

The HITC piece references a de Volkskrant article entitled, "Daredevil Janssen signs with Tottenham Hotspur"
