Agreed. But maybe it is part of the deal so he only cost a net of about 8mil?Why wouldn't we still get the sell-on fee from a completely different deal?

This could even help Janssen as it buys him time to develop without the pressure of having to fill a Kane shaped hole in the team, though admittedly that would assume Janssen's willingness to be a pure reserve for a season right before the world cup.
There isn't any downside to this transfer.

- He's still a top class goalscorer,
- he suits our system but also adds an option that we didn't really have with his arial threat,
- he has experience of winnings things which will help all those around him,
- he's stepping up in terms of club and competition so (especially at the tail end of his career) will understand that Kane is first choice,
- he has lots of skill and brings great link up play,
- we now won't have our hearts in mouths every time Kane gets hurt.
I hope that, having brought in Llorente, we add some earlier crossing into our game as this guy absolutely thrives of that. He scores from early crosses, he assists with knock downs. It could be the key to unlocking the Burnleys of this world a bit more easily when they come just to spoil and sit deep.
Not sure he suits our system? Being a threat in the air for a team that puts hardly any crosses in.
Good player not the right fit for us imo
Exactly the player you want if you are chasing a goal, and putting lots of balls in the box...Not sure he suits our system? Being a threat in the air for a team that puts hardly any crosses in.

From what I've seen, sweeping crosses into the box is a big part of Aurier's attacking game. Also gives Eriksen someone to aim at for corners and free kicks.
Now we have that option.Do we ever put loads of crosses in even when we are chasing a game?
What happens if Kane gets injured? Do we change our whole style for him?
Can't really comment on aurier as I know little about him tbh but he will have to fit to our style and as I've said, putting crosses in from wide areas is not it.
Eriksens corners have nothing to do with our targets in the box, we already have a few very good headers of the ball
Now we have that option.
Options are good things.
ITKWalker used to make loads of crosses into the box.
Janssen should have done more with the chances he got.Janssen probably wanted more crosses too
