Vincent Janssen

My Dutch colleagues assess Jansen as a cross between Ruud van Nistleroy and Dirk Kuyt... good finisher and very hard working... not bad for a player AZ bought for €500K at the start of last season.
 
like we can't work on two deals at once.!!!

We probably can't, though. It really seems like a congenital failing of ours. The last time I remember simultaneous deals falling within days of each other was with the Capoue/Eriksen/Chiriches/Lamela scenario back in 2013, and that was with a DoF flying around looking busy.
 
‘The store does not belong to you’: no new Tottenham bid for Janssen

AZ Alkmaar have thrown Tottenham’s move for Vincent Janssen into doubt after their sporting director revealed they have yet to receive an improved bid for the Holland striker.

The 22-year-old, who finished as the top scorer in the Dutch league last season with 27 goals in 32 appearances, was the subject of a bid worth €18m (£16.5m) from Spurs last month, which was rejected. That led Janssen to voice his frustration at their stance, with AZ believed to be holding out for a fee of €20m – reportedly on the advice of Moneyball author Billy Beane, who was hired as an adviser in March last year.

However, the club’s sporting director Max Huiberts has denied that Tottenham have submitted a new offer and warned they will have to pay their asking price if they want to sign Janssen.

“There is a lot of speculation and I read a lot of nonsense stories,” he told the Dutch newspaper Noordhollands Dagblad.

“We received one bid from Tottenham Hotspur that we have not accepted. That’s not so strange to me. It is not often that a club agrees immediately with a first offer. Then we heard nothing more.”


Asked whether he would be making contact with Tottenham, Huiberts added: “No, that’s not us. If you want to buy something, you have to go to the store. The store does not belong to you.”
