You've clearly wrote here we have not made any bids
It should read written!
Furthermore Hengy, stop believing everything you read in the papers re Spurs and transfer targets!
I have always believed a signing has been made when the player has been announced by the Club & not before!!!
Last years transfer window was a shocker. Spent £65+m on effectively 1 useful play that we actually didn't really need in Waynama ( i am not saying he's not been worth his fee or he hasn't been very good for us ).

He wasn't need because we had a very strong CM partnership already but he was a welcome addition.

Certainly first choice now but last summer the last thing we would've thought is Dier wouldn't be still first choice thus meaning Waynama at the time of buying wasn't really needed but was a no brainier at the price being quoted.
So effectively last season we spent £65+m on 1 player with 3* others not up to it = shocker of a window
* I'll never give up hope on Janssen though
I too think Janssen has potential and deserves another season with us

Fair play to the lad and i'm not to bothered to be honest. Yes he's a real talent but we are more than covered for left back and it's not an area we need strengthening.

How many Fulham games have you watched Don

Why we never went in for Lacazette last year I will never know. Such an upgrade on Janssen, literally as proven a goal scorer as you can get in Europe, would have been unreal in Kane's absence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would disagree he is about as proven a goalscorer as you can get in Europe. France yes, not in Europe
His Ligue 1 record is exemplary.
His European football record is not great. 7 in 12 last year, but just 8 in his prior 33.
His record for France is 1 goal in 11 games.
He is a gamble
From memory he hasn't played up front for France, but has played on the wing. He has also only played more than 60 minutes 3 times. The only goal he has scored internationally he was playing RW. It is harsh to judge his international output whilst being played out wide.
In Europe he 18 CL appearances, 12 Starts, 10 of which he played Striker. 5 goals in 1077 minutes Roughly a goal every 2.4 games which isn't bad considering he played half the games on the wing.
In the Europa it is 23 appearances, 2 off the bench, 8 being on the wing. In that time he has scored 9 in 1726 minutes which is a goal every 2.1 games which isn't terrible either.
In the last three seasons he has scored 9 goals in 18 appearances (1380 minutes, a goal every 153 minutes).
I would say he is proven personally.
If you didn't know Don Tottenham is an expert on Italian football having watched Lamela play every game in his final season.

He has proven that he can score goals, albeit not as regularly outside France as he does inside it.
"As proven a goalscorer you can get in Europe" was your claim.
He did score goals outside France and has scored plenty Inside France.
I don't understand why you disagree, who do you think we can get who is a more proven goal scorer?
I recall reading up on Lacazette vs Batschuayi comparisons last summer as to who'd be better suited to the league, Batschuayi came out on top for the record.
Lacazette has been on fire by all accounts but I've not seen much of him at all so don't actually know how good he is. From what I have heard, he's the sort of striker I'd like. Admittedly you need to be a good all-round striker nowadays, but for me Janssen is too 'target man' for my liking.

I disagree because outside of Ligue 1 his record is nothing to write home about. He is not proven at European or International level as a goalscorer, and I do not think he would 100% guarantee goals here.
How can anyone be "as proven a goalscorer as you can get in Europe" without being prolific outside his domestic league?
Whether we could sign better or not is irrelevant to signing Lacazette still being a bit of a punt
If we're calling Lacazette a punt then we can make that claim about any bonafide world-class player, which is rather futile
That being said, I don't think a striker - especially one as costly as Lacazette - is a necessity for us
*about any player not bonafide world class

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only if you class him as a bonafide world class striker. His record outside Ligue 1 does not suggest this is the case
A relatively small striker at 5'9, who has only proven himself to be truly prolific in France, is a punt.
How this can be compared to bonafide world class players is odd
In the last three years (the three years he has been playing regularly up front) he has averageda goal every 175 minutes when played up front. Which is definitely good enough.
To put it into comparison, here is how some of the other top strikers have done in Europe the last three seasons:
Ibra - Goal every 188 minutes
Cavani - Goal every 142 minutes
Higuain - Goal every 153 minutes
Dzeko - Goal every 138 minutes
I think you may have misinterpreted what I meant with my statement anyway, I don't think we can get a better proven goal scorer than Lacazette. Obviously the likes of CR7 is considerably more proven.
Also don't dismiss the french league too quickly, Ibra proved how comfortably he could score in both.
HRH clearly you didn't read my correction
