I'm not a fan of people jumping in on a player's first season.
Kane was dreadful for years, even when he was out on loan, couldn't hit a barn door in Europe when he started playing for the first team and he's a player used to the English game.
Janssen was a top goal scorer in the Dutch league, which means he knows where the goal is, he's got the potential to be a very good player, but he's lacking in confidence, whether that's because he's playing a different role, the physicality of the defenders in the prem, whatever.
But at 22 we need to give him another season, I think its easy to compare him to Soldado but the biggest difference is we bought in Soldado when we had no striker, so we paid a premium for a 28-29 year old to start banging in goals straight away, luckily enough Kane started finding his shooting boots so we didn't need to.
We bought Janssen as a back up to Kane, he got thrown in the deep end with a lot of pressure on his shoulders when Kane got injured.
Give him one more season, he's got it in him I know it, but if he doesn't perform then, that's when we cut our losses
