He's got potential but very very far from starting material at Arsenal. Don't think signing him is a good idea, unless we get him cheap and loan him out for a year or two.

I don't follow the Eredivisie but was told by a Dutch football fan that he has pretty impressive technique, ambidextrous too!

His development has been baffling. I didn't rate him ahead of this season, now I wonder what his ceiling is.

Very reminiscent of Ruud van Nistelrooy in Eredivisie, in that he's not a great footballer, but industrious, and a goal machine.

Van Nistelrooy wasn't a poacher in Eredivisie btw, Janssen isn't either. Really good in link-up play. And really unfazed too.

Something I just read by a Dutch football writer, I like everything I read about Janssen.

I never watched a lot of Van Nistelrooy when he played for PSV, but he was a brilliant footballer for Man U and not just a goalscorer. He was a better version of Lewandowski.

Ruud was pretty brilliant for Real Madrid too for a while. I never thought I'd say this while he was still active, but he might be the most underrated striker of his generation. He won't be remembered among the greats in European football, but maybe he should be. I've never seen anyone who was better at fooling offside traps. He did that thing where he stepped up in an offside position and then got onside again right before the pass was played. Even the best centrebacks in the business got tricked every single time. Falcao tried to copy it during his Atletico days, but he was never as good.

Van Nistelrooy really was brilliant. Not quite in the same class as the best strikers around at that time - they were monsters, unlike these days - but he was a supreme goal scorer and really intelligent in every single thing he did on a football pitch.

I remember he did his cruciate just before he was due to sign for United and ended up spending another year at PSV. They said at the time that he lost just a touch of speed and mobility off the back of it, God knows how many more goals he might have scored had the injury not happened!

Would be easily the best Number 9 in the world if he were playing today, in my opinion. By a mile.

Ferguson signed him of the back of a Bobby Robson recommendation. Like the way he signed bebe without scouting him. It's like getting movie recommendations here without checking them on rotten tomatoes aswell.

The reason Ruud was never that highly rated was because of Henry IMO. He was constantly compared to him in many aspects but Henry is far superior. Ruud was often called Fox in the Box because he doesn't score from outside the box, but due to a lack of top class strikers around these days you start to appreciate strikers like him.

Interdimensional cable was the best thing about the show 😆

Ronaldo, the last few years, for me plays as a 9 and he is clearly much better than Van Nistelrooy. I'd also take Suarez of the past few years over him as well, much more in Suarez' locker football wise. But Van Nistelrooy was a very, very good player in his day, have no doubt

I'm no authority whatsoever, I watched 2 and half minutes of a YouTube video on him and couldn't watch anymore because he looked a donkey to me.

Maybe I don't understand your definition of Donkey, but from what I saw, it was anything but donkey... World beater? probably not.. but decent scorer seemingly

Ricky1985

Slow, ponderous, not very agile.

Fucking van Nistelrooy. Still haunted by his 02/03 season

I think thats a massive stretch. He isn't rated as highly as the likes of Henry, Shearer, etc for very good reason, he was a one dimensional player and Fergie got rid of him for that exact reason. Good hold up and good at getting onto the end of things but thats about it. He was decent at exploiting the trap but if he played today that would be far less successful because defenders are wise to it.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger eyes Dutch striker Vincent Janssen - and is keeping tabs on Alvaro Morata

Janssen apparently now in talks with Spurs. Is this one of those cases where we have missed something good, or where we've tricked Spurs into buying someone mediocre?

I think he sounds like a very promising player, but more of a gamble that might pay off rather than a guarantee. 12m pounds sounds quite cheap though.

He's definitely not on the level we should be looking at. Very Spursy.
