That this daily mail 'scout' feels Jansssn is not particularly strong is contrary to what I've seen (albeit what I've seen is limited to what I've been able to find online). The way he holds off defenders while placing good, composed shots suggests a player with a lot of upper body strength. Also, lack of height isn't detrimental to a player being a target man, Tevez and Aguero both led the line in this league, as has Rooney and Suarez. The common theme is that they are all hard working players with great awareness of the game around them. Janssen will be fine leading the line, he's 1 inch shorter than Troy Deeney.

A professional scout running the rule overJanssen. Sounds like a pretty fair assessment of his strengths and the difficulties he'll face in the PL. Although quite surprised the scout doesn't mention his work-rate...

Let's hope he's wrong with a lot of that. We can make him physically stronger just look at Kane. I only wish we were signing someone who could give us the option of playing alongside Kane, but maybe he can.

I've just read that report and it's nothing like as negative as some people are portraying it.

If he was already proven in a top league he would be costing at least twice as much, as the report says, but on top of that, he probably wouldn't even be available.

And If he was the perfect player with no discernible areas for improvement, he'd be at Barcelona by now.

He's a young, promising, talented player who eants to play for Tottenham under Pochettino, exactly the sort we should be bringing in and If he really is good cover for Harry he will be a very important signing for us.

Good report, especially the sharp, intelligent, finishes like van Nistelroy bit.

Alongside his good mentals I'm excited by this signing

When was the last time we held a press conference to announce a signing? We tend to do an informal thing at the training ground with all the new boys together later in the summer, if I recall correctly.
