How many goals would Son have to score to meet your expectations?

[HereComesTheSon]

Hi lads,

Korean fan here. I was wondering what your goal expectations are for our boy, Son. How many goals would he have to score in the Premier League in order to be considered a successful signing in your opinion? If he scored perhaps only 5 league goals throughout the whole season, would you consider him to be a flop?

Thanks for your input!

with the goals output we have been getting from Chadli and Eriksen I would be happy with 10 or so from a wide position. If he could get close to 15 then I would be ecstatic. But mostly I want him to drag defenders around, open up space for others and be part of the unit.

If he gets 3 goals, no assists and runs down blind alleys. Then will have had a rough season. But I try to give imports at least into their second season before judging too harshly.

if would be nice if he can get some but you can't judge a player on individual output, it's his overall performance as part of the team that matters

Well apparently he's a centre forward and he cost 22mill so I'm hoping for 15

Good move. Set a high bar so we can give him a kicking when he fails to clear it.

In that case 25 or he is the new Lamela.

I use Clive Allen as a benchmark. Any player who cannot beat his 86-87 tally is not fit to wear the shirt

Kane got 30 and he was free, for 22 million I'd expect 4/5 times as many...

Again that is a reasonable statistical based argument to make.........................

any less than 20 league goals and he will forever be labelled a flop in my eyes.

You're more patient than me. Seven goals by the end of the month or I'll boo his every touch this season.

Reasonable expectation in all truth.

No pressure HMS

 

[AVB]

10-12 with 8 assists I'd be chuffed

Welcome to the board

10 with a reasonable amount of assists.

It is the Spurs tradition. You cannot change it.

 

[Spurs7891]

Frankly, don't expect many goals from him. But if he can score 5-10 goals, he would have been worth his fee.

he's a young man from a different culture moving to a new league with a different language, he can't "flop" this season, its an adjustment period, how he performs in years 3 and 4 are how he, and our purchase of him, should be judged

The problem with these so-called adjustment period is that, we seldom keep a manager for more than 2 seasons. And by the time the new players get the experience they need at Spurs, the new manager might not need them !
