Kane scored 41 goals in 48 games in the season just finished for Spurs - his best ever so far.Just looks better at holding the ball up, he is faster, his composure is getting better. Lukaku is starting to look the business. Kane is English.
The first game of the WC where both players played poorly in general
.Needs to do more though if he wants glory with England.
Ok...
40 + 1 You know what I meant
I'm English and still hate it. Dull as dishwater on BBC.
Look how spurs play?!? If United start playing attacking football, lukaku will score for fun.
His instincts in the box and ability to anticipate where he needs to be before the ball is there is a sign of a class center forward which he has been for the past few years. Poachers goals today but it doesn't matter how it goes in. He came up aces for England when it mattered.
I don't understand why this means him scoring 41 goals in a season means a player who scored 26 in all competition (less than Kane scored in the league alone) is the better player.
Lukaku has more potential than Kane because he is a more dynamic player but thats just potential doesn't mean it will ever be realised.
Ok in that case Spurs will just play even more attaching football and score more goals just for fun.
Sigh
Hattricks every match then?
It means he’s over rated.
Kane already IS scoring for fun. I'll take IS for Kane over might do for Lukaku anytime.
I wouldn't bother arguing with that one.
It'll be interesting to see how many more International goals Kane picks up this Tournament. 15 goals in 25 apps now. Looks sharp.
Would be nice.
Now you’re making yourself sound silly.
I don't think he is though. He is a world class striker and continues to prove it.
Did you just call Kane over rated?
Very happy for him. Two goals in the opening game, including a stoppage time winner. The way he was manhandled by those thug defenders was a disgrace though. The ref was a disgrace.
I wouldn't disagree that he is overrated, but he is miles better than Lukaku, that is not even debatable.
You have to remember Kane's a few months younger than Lukaku, it's not like Lukaku is a prospect anymore he will be coming into his prime years.
I basically said what you said as a point to how fecking silly it sounds...
Players develop at different times, and again I said that doesn't mean the potential will be realised. I'm not convinced he will realise his potential when he is still struggling with basic things like holdup play and first touch.
Lukaku is more than a year older than Kane, but the latter has outscored him consistently. How can an older player have more potential than a younger player who has been outscoring almost everyone right across Europe?
20+ Goals in PL era:
5 seasons in a row - Thierry Henry..................(1/2-5/6)
4 seasons in a row - Alan Shearer...................(93/94-96/97)
4 seasons in a row - Harry Kane......................(14/15-17/18)
Only 4 players have managed to score 20+ goals in 4 seasons total in the PL era:
Alan Shearer (7 seasons)
Thierry Henry (5 seasons)
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Harry Kane (4 seasons)
How many times has Lukaku scored 20+ goals in the PL?
Once. Kane has done it 4 seasons in a row and is ranked on goal scoring with the very best the PL has seen. He isn't over rated.

He is a bit, when people for instance say he is the best striker in the world, but that not anything new with players in the PL especially English ones.
But I don't really think Lukaku has progressed much since he wasn't at Everton, I think he I see a very good player no doubt and should be scoring more at a United.
Yes but i maybe should have left out the space!
They are about the same age. Why do you think Lukaku has more potential? Let’s actually look at what’s happening on the pitch instead of the hyperthetical. Lukuku is a good striker, but Kane is World Class.
I like Rom but I would trade him for Kane in a heartbeat.
He's already improved since joining us and, by all accounts, is bloody driven to do so further. That is what Cassidy meant maybe? Not sure.
IMO Kane at United this season would also score less than he did for Spurs, but remember I am agreeing with you when I say Kane is a far better player than Lukaku
Kane is a great forward but he’s but he’s no Shearer (as an English comparison). For me Lukaku is starting to look more like the a better all round forward. Just my opinion, I suppose time will tell.
Kane is the best goal scorer outside of Messi and Ronaldo. I've never seen anyone suggest he's better than either, so I don't understand how anyone can claim he's overrated.
He really is the shittest player to be this damn good since Thomas Muller.
England are lucky to have him as we're going to need saving routinely.

This is where you go too far, a forward who has what 1 goal all season vs a top 6 side? You clearly over rate Lukaku
I would agree with that but I don't think many people think that. He is up there with the very best though imo, top 5 striker i'd say in the World.
He stands a very, very decent chance of winning the Golden Boot at this World Cup. Let's hope he does.
