Poor Vinny. He'd barely been at the club 5 minutes before Kane got injured & he got thrown in at the deep end. It isn't surprising (to me at least) that he struggled in those games. He was being asked to fill the boots of England's number 1 hitman. Whoever we signed would have been second fiddle to Kane. Make no mistake about that. If we sign someone else, that person will play second fiddle to Kane as well. That's just the way it will be. He doesn't need competition, because he scores every 94 minutes. Whatever competition he already has, it's working because he is almost fanatically driven.
Jannsen needs another season before we jump to conclusions about his value to the team, or lack of it.
Also, I think Sissoko deserves another year. I never though I'd say that, but after a pretty dire season, I think he showed some signs last night that he could have a valuable role at spurs. He looks very nervous on the ball at times, but he was playing an unfamiliar position & I thought he did it competently by & large.
But back to big Vinny. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Who do we bring in, who will definitely score goals in Kane's absence, but is willing/resigned to be a second string player? Or do we just rely on Poch to get him firing? If he goes, it won't be a big deal, but you can bet we won't be spending another £30 million on a bench warmer like we did last year on Sissoko.
I think Vincent will stay & he will play an important part next year. Just a hunch, but he will come good. :avbpray:
