Gazzaniga and the Janssen vs King question


TRANSFER TALK


With a deal not being able to be reached with Espanyol for third-choice goalkeeper Pau Lopes, Pochettino has turned his attention to a player he has formerly managed, 25-year-old (26 next January) Paulo Gazzaniga, who it is believed could be snapped up for £2 million (€2.21m - AUS$3.31m - US$2.63m).

The Argentinian stopper, who could also play for Italy, has 2 years left on his current contract and gained further playing time last season when he was loaned out to Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga 2. He also has 21 Premier League games under his belt, 20 League 2 games, Copa del rRy and others totalling 127 games in all.

Question: Would you keep Janssen and don't get Josh king or would you sell and get King?


Now that is a very interesting question. Janssen is the first choice Holland striker and clearly has ability but hasn't found his scoring boots at Tottenham, where his hold up play is excellent but where he hasn't managed to carve out his own chances in the way that Harry Kane does.

Josh King has scored goals in the Premier Lague in a different system to ours and would have to learn to adapt his game to our needs. Can he, would he still create chances for himself, would he need a season to adapt?

Nobody knows the answers and none of us know how Janssen is going to improve this season. A tough call, but I'd side at this stage with keeping Janssen by a smidgen perhaps.
