lacazette is just as unproven as janssen though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely not.

He's scored 20+ goals 3 seasons in a row in a slightly tougher league.

Janssen had just 1 season behind him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
unproven in the prem

plus lacazette would have been much more expensive and probably only gone somewhere he would be number 1 choice… a few years from now we might progress to a club who can make that kind of signing as back up… but not yet, imo.

Unproven in the prem is silly

If we signed messi would he be just as unproven as Janssen because he's not played in the prem?

Agreed he'd cost a bomb though £40m+ probably and would be looking to be number 1 although he & Kane are more suited to play together than Janssen & Kane.

Hopefully Janssen can learn quickly on the job and Kane comes back fresh and ready to go again in December

Lacazette is 25 though, so obviously has more experience at first team level.

I go back to performance at age.

Janssen was 21 at the start of last season.

When Lacazette was 21, he went on to score only 3 goals in 27 starts in 2012/13.

To score that many goals at Janssen's age bodes well, despite the standard being lower.

The problem is if Janssen came through academy ( i.e. Harrison ) at this age no one would expect anything from him but because he cost £15m+ there's more expectation on him especially now Kane's injured.

Reckon he'll get 10 > 14 goals this season

I think Janssen just needs time, he has shown some impressive glimpses and will improve as time and the games go on.

This run of games should do him a world of good, I think at present he is trying too hard in front of goal, he is snatching at shots rather than relaxing and striking the ball cleanly. Who knows how good he can become, but he still has improving to do, as always time will tell and its way too early to judge him.

Remember what a donkey Harry Kane looked a few years back? Come on guys let's give him time. I think he needs to be a bit more ruthless and get himself into better positions as he looks a little lost at times which was pointed out by Ruud gullit on motd last night. Good thing is his hold up play and work rate is fantastic.

Definitely give him time you're right Don.

Like i put I didn't want him in first place as think he's too clumsy but I'll give him and poch time to get him to a level we need him.

His link up has been better than I thought so he's already exceeded my expectations.

Just looks to me he needs to get into shape and with all the games coming up he'll get there quickly.

Nothing better than when a player proves your early opinion wrong like Lamela did to me

im backing him to put away 15 goals this season and prove the doubters wrong.

he looks older than he is, but need to remember he's really still young, new team new league new country new style of playing.

he brings other players into play very well and its benefitting our high scoring attacking mids. the goals will come

I put between 10>14 goals
