Janssen not included in Champs League Squad

I dunno what the big deal is. Someone told me the list for the group stages was submitted last Thursday or the day the summer window closed. Brighton wanted to take him but the player opted against it the later that day. I assume Brighton's interest was not last minute, Poch may have thought he'd be gone so why list him as a player? Either way, if we get past the group stage don't we get to jiggle the list if we want?

Yeah GNK and Sissoko are mystery signings, I was open minded about Sissoko at the time because of his best games at Newcastle he looked like a powerful direct player we could use. But he doesn't have a position in our team.

Janssen was a player we were looking to sign, an extra forward who was young and can develop. But that is hard to do with no game time..

Ideally we would have sold Janssen for silly fee or loaned him, got rid of Sissoko and GNK who seems a waste of a squad place. and signed an attacking/centre mid and quick forward who is actually going to be given minutes.

Wasted those transfer fees and wages when we could have used it for 1-2 proper players. We're talking roughly £60m and about £150k a week or so.

Yep, but every club wastes money on players that don't work out. Sissoko and GKN are mysteries to me regarding why we signed them, but Janssen had a good profile (young, top scorer in Holland, back up to Kane).

Sissoko wasn't even signed on the basis he was potential or that he was at least impressive at his previous club. Whoever sanctioned that deal as well as whoever suggested it in the first place should be ashamed of themselves.

N'jie, Nkodu, Soldado and now Janssen - all are failure under Pochi who dubbed as a greatest coach since sliced bread.

Who scouted and signed Janssen?

Oh dear, reading is a gift for some and a predicament for others. I've never said Pochitino signed above players.

Danny Rose's comments about Pochi are coming true. 👌
