Vincent Janssen. The man that never was.
At 24, the poor old darling still has a crack a continuing the career he put on hold by joining Tottenham Hotspur.
Whose fault that was is anyone’s guess.
2 goals in the Dutchman’s first 27 Premier League appearances was almost certainly enough to seal the boys’ fate.
The loan spell in Turkey was less miserable, with 4 goals in 16 league outings.
Vinnie has just the one year remaining on his contract – the one that he signed when joining our merry throng back in 2016. The deal then was understood to be worth in the region of £18.6million.
Quite what anyone would be expected to rustle up for the one time Eredivisie top scorer is anyone’s guess.
Gossip is uncontrollable within Premier League football, Janssen’s inability to recapture his form – even in Turkey – perhaps points to personal issues?
Who bought him? Rumour has it the buy was rubber stamped by Poch, Jesus Perez, and our old mate …’Mitch’.
