(I also think Janssen is going to turn out for Spurs which is in the minority I would say)

it's always a gamble for sure. Really liked Dembele in the CL games though, and the one thing he has over Janssen is that he's already used to the English game. Also he's still only 20 ... Janssen was still in the 2nd division in the Netherlands at that age.
For that matter, I think people write off Janssen prematurely. He's gone from the 2nd division in the Netherlands to the Eredivisie to the Premier League in the span of two years, that could be a bit of an overwhelming change in opposition I'm sure ... think he'll be good for Spurs in a year or two.
