True, he surprised me positively when playing for Holland.
But then again, it is not hard to be the shining light in that crapfest selected by Danny ****ing Blind.

Think he has a good chance to demote Kane. At least Janssen isnt going to take free kicks direct on goal from 40 yards and further away.

You think Spurs would drop Kane? That's silly.

I'd say kane will be at utd to replace Zlatan for the following season.

Jansen has had one season in the Eredivisie which was very good but its not far off championship level. He was in the Dutch 2nd tier before that. 20m is a decent amount for him. Huge step up for him & I think he will most likely struggle.

Wouldn't be that worried about Spurs next year. Excellent manager in Pochetino but they overachieved last season considering there squad is not great. Son I think will improve this coming season for them.

I think they have a better more balanced squad than almost every other team in the league .

Burnley have bid for Jeff hendrick. Would be a great move for both parties and Ireland as well if he moves there. With Barton going to rangers he will play every week I'd imagine.

Hope a better offer comes in than that from a club that have a decent chance of staying up. To be honest if Burnley is the best offer he has then it is very disappointing.

He's hardly a world beater, that's his level in the EPL lower mid table-relegation fighters. No shame in that.

I think it's more important he gets regular gametime than be a squad player at a better team. I'd also give burnley a 50/50 chance of staying up once they keep hold of Keane.

He's not that much better than that level to be honest. He had some good displays in the Euro's but it's always a risk judging a player in isolated tournaments. I would say Derby fans would have a better view on him than Irish fans to be honest.

kevthegaff

I honestly think he lacks the killer pass, test of his game seems pretty good.

If Kane plays the way he did for England and Janssen does the way he did for Holland, they would be silly not to.

I said he has a good chance but i do keep in mind Kane's "englishness" is a big factor too.

Burnley would be a great move for him. From what I gather a lot of Derby fans wouldn't mind seeing him moved on for a decent fee as he's very inconsistent.

Kane has scored 46 PL goals in the last two seasons.

He won't be dropped for a guy who's had one good half season in the Erdivese.

A couple of bad games in the Euros with an out-of-his-depth manager in charge at England?
He had him taking Free kicks

Kane will lead the line next season going on his excellent record in the league

inforfun

We'll see..... No one expected him to be a €20 million player and the Dutch starting No 9 in July 2016 either 2 years ago.

eagle eye

Hendrick going to Burnley would be great. He gets the chance to show he belongs in the Premier league and if he performs then he gets a move to a bigger club in a year or two.

Jansen is a typical Spurs buy. They fancy they can develop him and increase his value.

Flint Fredstone

Can't wait to see if Kane becomes the 3 season wonder next year.

Muller and lewandowski based on the euros wouldn't get a game for mk dons.

I would rather judge Kane on two excellent seasons then a few games at the end of a long season.

Judging by the fanzones he's a big hit with French girls(I don't see it), I'd take them over some fake Mexicans(He's married though, doubt that stops him though)

Negredo, Valdes and Subotic, Middlesboro are really pushing the boat out, bringing in lots of experience there.

Bit of a fall from grace from Subotic (I know he's had injuries) considering how highly rated he was a few seasons ago.

He's only 27 so a good (injury free) season with Boro could get him a move to one of the bigger clubs.

Higuain was offered 50 million a year to play in china bit he rejected since he dosent want to move to china. Arsenal linked with a move that would involve Giroud going the opposite direction.

A million a week for a lad that isn't even in the top 20 players in the world. Fair play to him for turning it down.

Scored nearly 40 goals last season and broke Serie A records but I'm sure your opinion is based on him missing a peno for Argentina or something.

Might not be top 20 players in the world but in the top 5 finishers in the world.

Would be my first choice for a dream signing to play at Anfield.

I hadn't realised there had been a takeover there. It would be nice to see them competing again. Joao Mario looks a decent player, not 50m decent but sure that's the way it is now.

What are you on about ye im really going to base my football opinion on something like that.He is a good player but it's hardly that controversial an opinion to not think he is in the top 20 players in the world. Messi Ronaldo aguero neymar suarez bale lewandowski are 7 attacking players I'd have ahead of him you could make argument for a fair few more. That's just attacking players.

Higuain is a big game bottler. Proven fact.

Just with Argentina. Not including his time with Real missing chances in CL KO stage & costing Napoli a CL place missing a penalty.

Every forward misses plenty of excellent chances throughout a season. Higuain is just unlucky that a lot of his have come at crucial moments. It doesn't mean he's more likely to miss at crucial times in comparison to other top strikers, you would need a way bigger sample size of Higuain misses to reasonably come to that conclusion.

You could make any forward look bad by picking out a few clips of missed chances :rolleyes:

Yeah but if it's on twitter it must be true

MD1990

Of course a striker can miss chances that's not the point but it's doing it consistently in very important games. I remember Higuain missing chance after chance for Real vs Lyon back in 2010 when they went out. He then failed to score on numerous occasions vs Barcelona missing plenty of chances over the course of the next few seasons before being sold. Then of course the Argentina misses.

He cost Napoli a CL place in 14/15 missing a penalty vs Milan at 2-2 in the 75 min where a winner would have guaranteed them CL football. Then last season no misses but has a complete meltdown vs Udinese resulting in a 4 game ban ending Napoli's Serie A title run & showcasing his suspect temperament in pressure situations.

Was it not against Lazio and it meant Lazio got CL football? Had he scored the other 2 to get them back level from 2-0 down? Or is my old mind playing tricks on me?

No that's right it was Lazio. He missed one against Milan in a different game.

GavRedKing

In the Copa America final just gone he missed an easy enough chance too, had an age to decide what to do and went for a speculative one on one chip and put it wide, his overall play in that final was terrible too, not that Aguero was much better when he came on but he did force Bravo into a fine save from a header, Higuian also had chances in the WC final to win it for Argentina but missed 2 good ones if memory serves me right.

While theyre not things that should define a player, theyre things that stand out, given the occasions that they happened in.

Have backed him quite a bit in the Tippeligaen over the last year and a bit or thereabouts, decent record, youd imagine he could do well in Eredivisie.

Barcelona have signed Lucas Digne for €16.5m rising to €20m based on add ons.
Sevilla being strongly linked with Ganso too for €10m.

When a bang average player like Pelle becomes the 5th highest paid player in the world moving to China it won't be long before some player does get that £1m a week wage over in China.

Assuming the bubble lasts over there for another 5-7 years, Messi or Ronaldo could do it for 1 year, not that theyed need the money but you never know.
