Just one google search should be enough to tell people about Janssen. No need for scouting there.
Andthis is shaping up to be another frustrating window.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Of course if the Vardy move doesn't materialise then questions will need to be asked but for now we have shown more intent that usual.
I'm not sure how this Janssen guy could be construed as a screw up. He is just potential at this stage and surely we've had enough of gambling on that? Let's just see what happens with Vardy. As MO says above, if we do put all our eggs in one basket and bodge things up, then we can start pointing fingers. The transfer market has not started gearing up properly yet. Still another 11 weeks of this nonsense to go.
I'm not so sure about that. We almost always make an early signing in the summer and then it gets really quiet in the middle until deadline day. It's really early but the season we signed Debuchy, Chambers, Sanchez, Ospina and Welbeck can go down as a season where we showed early intent.
I'm not so concerned about intent. It's just about making the right choices. If you look at the window I just mentioned, we blew a lot of money on players that are already on their way out of the club.
I agree Janssen is potential, but what is Vardy, he's certainly need not proven quality, this is a bit like the Welbeck signing for me odd, we could have just paid up and tried to get someone top class like Higuain for example, instead we cut corners and sign a possible one season wonder.
As for Janssen the only player we've even signed who's scored lots of goals before we signed him was Eduardo and he was decent before his injury, all the other players we've signed up front barely had a goal between them in the last 10 years, so Janssen would be a change from that.
