Would take us top of the league for sure.
How good is Harry Kane?
- Thread starter GatoLoco
- Start date
Err he's been great for about 6 years mate. A goal every 1.7 games for club and country not to mention about 50 assists over that period as well. How much longer does he need to carry that on for before you consider him proven?
If we had him we’d be top of the league that’s for sure
Harry Kane has already hit 250 career goals (now 251). He did so in fewer matches than Shearer, Aguero, Ronaldo and Rooney. Only Messi did it faster.

One of these days, he'll have a drop in confidence and his seven year lucky streak will dry out and expose him for the fraud he has been all along.
Any season now.
Also, once you take away his goals and assists he's not really world class.

He is the best striker in the league and I would give up almost everyone bar Greenwood, Bruno or Rashford to sign him.
In my opinion he's the third best striker in the world atm.
Pretty clearly below Lewandowski and imho Haaland is also ahead of him. Other than that, I don't see a striker, that's better than him. He's in the #3 - #5 bracket alongside Benzema and Lukaku.
(Yes, Lukaku has been really good for Inter. Before people try to downplay him by calling him "bottler" again, they might think about the fact, that Kane himself has bottled many big game situations.)

Best striker in the world not named Lewa. His all round game has gone up a notch of late, has added brilliant playmaking to his repertoire.
Hayy kane? He wasn't as good as me in my prime i.e 8/9 years old :P
Haaland is up there and extremely promising but still has a way to go IMO. Great record but don't forget that Paco Alcacer was banging them in at a ridiculous rate whenever he played for Dortmund too. His all-round game isn't close to Kane's at the moment.
Classy, intelligent striker, best in the prem. He’s developed into an outstanding footballer.
Barring injuries he’ll destroy the Premier League and England goal scoring records.
Easily world class.

Why is Lukaku in top 5? Immobile scored more goals and had more assists than Lukaku in Serie A. Immobile contributed to 45 league goals last season, Lukaku 25.
Even Duvan Zapata who missed chunk of the season contributed to 24 league goals, just 1 less than Lukaku and he played nearly 1000 mins less than Lukaku.
Wow. Did not realise that. He is a very special player with many attributes, although pace is not one of them. But he more than makes up for that with a very strong physical presence.
Knows how to win a free kick as well as taking them.
Jose has moved him deeper to make use of his excellent passing abilities.
Real class and English too.
I think thery're just comparing him to a list of top players. I don't think he's the second fastest player to hit 250 goals for club and country in history. Still impressive mind.

It hasn't, it's his usage that has
Please read my posts afterwards, I should've been clearer in stating that is purple patch is regarding his assist numbers, which have never been this high. His high assists is really what's driving the new conversation of how good he is, and hence my comment if the purple patch.
From a goalscoring aspect his numbers are not different from what he has produced in previous seasons, and also not greater than other strikers like Lewandowski, who I still rate higher than Kane.
Outside of the insane Messi and Ronaldo. Right now I would put him behind Lewandowski and maybe Benzema (being a bit of a fanboi for Benz there).
If you look at this whole decade then you have players like Aguero, Aubamayeng, Ibra, Cavani and Suarez (amongst others) come into the picture. It's more an illustration of the great strikers we've had this past decade than any detriment to Kane to say he isn't the best of the decade then (not saying Kane is worse than all of them before you start raging).
Aye. For instance, Jimmy Greaves reached 250 goals after 305 games, Eusebio did it in 194 games, and even despite playing in the stingiest era of all, Van Basten made it in 391 games.
As much as you are entitled to your opinion I just have to ask how you can have Haaland ahead of him?
Haaland is just the most natural number 9 I've seen since Lewandowski came around in 2012. He's ice-cold in front of the goal, has great pace and physique, good technique for his size and is also good in the air.
Kane is a very good player, yes, but if I had to pick between Haaland and Kane, I would go for Haaland. He's already great (as seen by his goal ration in both the Bundesliga and CL) and will become only better.
He's an outstanding footballer not just a striker. Based on watching him I would say he's the best number 10 in the league, he's been an insane passer for a long time now.
He's just class, If we had brought him for the number 9 position he'd be a starter there and add unbelievable backup to Bruno as a number 10 with his creativity.
We have not had a proper centre forward playing in his prime for the last 8 years, we need Martial to regain form ASAP, if he does, we will challenge for the league, barring any injury to Bruno.

Lewandowski is brilliant but if he played in the Prem I don't think he'd be unanimously considered better. Haaland shouldn't be in the discussion yet imo.
He's the best striker in the world with Lewa and even at that still underrated because of how he looks a bit dozy.
He makes the difficult moves look easy. That is the sign of a top player.
We won’t sustain a league challenge with martial as our number 9
Then those some!! Need to take their rose tinted glasses off.
Would love him at OT as he's the best striker in the league, hes so consistent and has been for few years now.I'll take that if it's just against Liverpool.
Surprised people rate halland more.
Kane been doing it for 6 seasons or more scoring shitload of goals, in the premier League. It's Between him and Lewa as the proper outstanding centre forwards in the game today.
Now he's evolved his game slightly looking more like the full package up front. To be honest he already was.

Kane is the fastest player to 20 goals in Champion's League history.
Kane is the fastest player to 250 goals in Premier League history. He was only third quickest to 150 goals, so his goal-scoring has become even faster.
All whilst playing for Tottenham Hostpur. I think people forget that bit when comparing him to some other strikers. Lewandowski plays for a team that is completely dominant in the Bundesliga
He is so good that if Man City, Manutd, or Chelsea had him, they would probably be top of the league. If Liverpool had him, the league would be over already.

I hope you mean the near 40 Zlatan. He ain't on par with no prime Zlatan.
Will he go the Shearer route or the Teddy route?
His ankles are a problem.
Needs to go. He's 28 in the summer. What a waste he is at Spurs.
he’s not going anywhere. He’s tied himself up with that contract, and he’s far too expensive.
this summer he’s Only a year younger than RVP when he went to United.
Spurs would want £100M+ for him, no one is paying anywhere near that, despite him being one of the best strikers in Europe.
he would need to demand a move, and I don’t see that happening.
I think he suits city's team to the ground right now with how good his link up play has become. They would fare better with him than an out and out 9
I actually discount his England goals due to the weak opposition England play. Lithuania & Montenegro for example. If Rooney or Charlton played against the same quality of International opposition they would have doubled their totals.

What about Batistuta at Fiorentina in the 80s?
I think you mean the 90s... and he ultimately had to leave to Roma to win the league.
Kane is a great player but a sick note
He is epic as a false 9
He is such a complete player, it's great to see how much he has improved and kept adding more to his game.
Anytime he has the ball, you feel he will create something. When they have set pieces, you feel Kane will head the ball. His free kicks are class too.
His passing, crossing is great. Brilliant link up play, works his socks off and he has brilliant shooting technique.

That makes no sense. If you were going to discount anyone’s goals on that basis then it would have to be Bobby’s (not that I’m suggesting that I would). He got 13 of his goals in 5 matches that ended 10-0, 9-0, 8-0, 8-1 and 8-1.The gap between the best teams and the minnows was at least as wide, if not more so, in the 50s/60s. I also doubt Rooney’s goals were against any stronger opposition than Kane.
