Until Kane is fit I think he should be starting, especially against teams playing defensively. His hold up play is very good IMO. The goals will only come if he's given the chances.

Perhaps if we hadn't blown 47 million on Janssen and Sissoko? 47 million, you can buy a great player for that.

But most players that cost 47 million wouldn't fit our wage structure.

What do you think the combined wages of these two are?

What do you suggest we do either now or at the end of November if people are over giving him more time?

I see your angle and it is a good one. If he still hasnt adapted, I would give Shayon an opportunity perhaps limited time or move Son there.

Assuming Pochettino follows your advice and Son and Shayon are given whatever game time Kane allows for our backup strikers what happens with Janssen going forward in your opinion? Get rid of him in January if we can? Keep him on the bench or in the stands and sell him in the summer?

Yea but then we'd still need a sissoko type AM player as well for the squad, as with your 47m you've only bought 1 player (assuming a 47m class player would agree to join us anyway?).
Also you have the issue of spending 47m on 1 striker, so he's starting when fit right? So what do you do with Kane now?
I don't think sissoko is that great but I understand the thinking behind getting a direct player like that in, it's just it should have been Mane instead!

But Mane is capable of having a big sulks, not sure attitude and wages would be to Poch and Levy's liking.

A direct and attacking midfielder...who never scores!

If I were a striker I'd never join a Poch team that doesn't make space for a striker to turn into, and doesn't take enough risks with early crosses and shots from outside the box. Might be different if I'm an AM though.

Did you understand the point I made on getting that type of player in? I was meaning the direct and attacking part, not the doesn't score part! I thought I was fairly clear when I said that I didn't really rate him as well?!
It seems your problem is with sissoko rather than Jansen and your taking it out on the young back up striker we bought for relative peanuts, whose performing rather well and assisted a few goals already! Is that fair to say?

Townsend?
I would love to know 'who' decided on Sissoko, then the rational behind it.

Doesn't really work that way. If we get rid of Hugo, Toby, Erik and Harry, dosen't mean we can afford Messis salary.

Sorry I never meant to give that impression. Yes, I think Janssen has been better than Sissoko, but not by much. The purchase off Sissoko reminds me of the time Liverpool bought Papa Dioup after one over hyped match for Senegal in the World Cup. His (Sissoko's) record has never been much good in top flight football, or his attitude for that matter. I'm sure that the injury to Kane has made Poch regret getting rid of Chadli. We should never have sold him IMO.

You are setting up straw men there with the Messi analogy. It's not about that. 47 million would have enabled us, or at least should have enabled us to get in a decent player and one tested at Premier league level. There's one doing a pretty good job at Southampton right now, who we should have got in and he would have been a lot cheaper than Janssen

Totally agree - but hind sight etc.......especially on Harry injury.
The other two purchases feel like we have regressed and not learned anything over the last 10 or so years of transfers.

You don't think it could be that the 22 year old Janssen could develop into a better player than the 27 year old Austin?
Pochettino reportedly turned down signing Austin when he was very much available and fairly cheap last summer. Perhaps that was because he didn't think Austin would be a good fit in our team?

Don't know why. They look to play a very similar type of game. I think Austin has always been under-estimated. He has scored goals wherever he has been and in some pretty poor sides might I add. He's doing the business yet again at Southampton BTW, I don't think age can be a factor when you look at the Sissoko signing. He's 27 isn't he?
