People that want him to play like Harry are barking up the wrong tree. They are different player types and thus different approaches to the game. Vinicius is more of a poacher/pure finisher while Kane has more strings on his instrument so to speak.
When Vinicius plays we need a more classic creative 10/playmaker on the pitch as well based on the games he has had. Someone that can deliver the ball to him in positions to score.

He's done his job well
He needs to improve on his hold up play 100% which is why I think he isn't starting in the PL
He's not Harry Kane but he's a good backup and he knows how to find the back of the net.
If we could halve his price tag or something like that then I'd 100% take him but at £40m or whatever it is - nah

Good point - we'd have been in heaven if Llorente (good player) had have scored like that.
I think in his few minutes on the pitch last night, young Scarlett emphasised a lot of what is wrong about Vinicius' game, and his unsuitability for English football. Proper fucking fire in his belly. Proper work against the ball. None of this meek stuff.
that would be Levy's pitch to his club.. "look he isn't even that good which is why we haven't played him the PL, I can take him off your hands for 15 mil and nothing more than that"
Only seeing last night's game now. Think much the same of him as I did at the start: he's alright. Decent squad player, bit of link play, some semblance of a nose for goal. Also a bit physically awkward and unrefined. Value him 15m or less. If Weghorst or Ings were to be an option in the summer both are a lot better and would be worth 20-25m to Vini's 15m. (I'm aware of the proposed fee but c'mon...)
What more do we want from a backup striker in his first season in a new country and league where he is still learning the language ?
He is doing his job. Can he do more, I doubt it. He does little else but play in the box which is ok as he is scoring and when we have the majority of Possession but not when we do not. Should always be an option from the bench and if we are pressing for a goal in the closing stages then bring him on. Cannot see him staying and as we will no doubt get stronger opposition in Europa from now on, doubt he will start again.
I wonder if Jose would have the balls to sub Kane when he is having one of his "awkward" games and replace him with Vinny, I mean wouldn't it be cool if Vinny came on and scored a winning goal after replacing Kane?
I doubt it would ever happen but ya never know

I would pay the €40M. Strikers are expensive. Most strikers you buy fail in the premier league even at a higher cost. Here we have a player who doesn't cause any problems, scores regularly when he plays, is fit, and actually has some ability. As a back up, what more can you ask for? We could spend the same on sone other chap and they will fail so better the certain player on offer here.
Yes he is. Would you rather get 26 year old Vini, Callum Wilson, Willian Jose, or 29 year old Danny Ings?
If Kane even gives the slightest hint of wanting out in the summer, I think we should try and sign Vini, and we should pay the full 40m if needed. It could be extremely difficult to find a better striker with his age/exp/upside for that price.
I heard Jose isn't on THFC's radar for next season!
Not a chance he is worth 40 million, or anything close to it, that is ridiculous.
I have been a fan of his but 40 million gets you a good starting level player. For 40 million we can likely get a guy who can start up front with Kane and Son as well as provide more as a back-up striker than Vini does if Kane is out.
Spending 40 million on him would be crazy any window, 40 million in a pandemic year where money is supposedly tight and we have so many holes would be a disaster.

I 100% guarantee if we let him go Wolves pick him up for 30 million he comes back and under NES returns to the EPL and plunders a 20 goal season....including the winner at the Lane against us. Its a bloody certainly.
Are those the only options we have? And if so why?
Given those options I would easily take Danny Ings. If we are taking what it would actually cost to get guys I would take Wilson at half the price of Vinicius.
But what I would actually do is not limit myself to those 4 guys and go out and get someone who is better and cheaper.
29 year old Danny Ings all day long.
Nobody could afford Kane this summer.
I would take a punt on Vini as well (why not)? but not for big money.
