I think Eduardo's finishing was very good for us before his injury (felt we should have signed Huntelaar personally at the time, another error there, but that's Wenger for you).

Vardy isn't a safe bet at all due to his record, a safer bet than Janssen.....who knows Janssen could turn out to be like RVN at least he has potential, to have scored that many at 21 bodes well, both a gamble but one is younger and can improve, the other won't and is prime candidate to be a one season hit.

I just don't trust this signing, plus Pochettino has a decent record of discovering players and he's trying to sign Janssen which bodes well.
Eduardo knew how to finish. Intelligent in the box and I get that sort of vibe from watching Janssen's finishing.

Eduardo didn't play that much for us before his leg break. Was restricted to a lot of odd league games and was played on the wing wasn't he? Only until after Christmas did he get a run in the team. He was scoring in the cup games when he started but in the league he never started back to back games until after Christmas and then we made a differnce scoring goals and making assists. I think he only ever started 19 games in total all season but scored in 12 goals with 9 assists. Not bad at all.

Smart finisher. It's shame what happened to him. In Janssen, I see similar traits of a smart finisher. Plus he's both footed. Not sure why we're not moving for him and why we're not discovering strikers anymore.
