He isn'tScored two so you can’t complain but lukaku is a better number 9

So if you read my post I said Kane is better, I also talked about what happens on the pitch so I don't get that point.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.
This is not true either. Kane's passing from deeper areas can be sublime and his work-rate in chasing down the ball is relentless.So if you read my post I said Kane is better, I also talked about what happens on the pitch so I don't get that point.
As for the potential, Lukaku can operate effectively in more areas of the pitch and is much more dynamic thats all I mean. Doesn't mean I am saying he is better, if you read my posts you can see that
Oh yes he is.... !! LolHe isn't
He disappeared for major parts of the game today. Just popped in right place/right time for the 2 goals. I'd still say Lukaku is more involved in the gameplay than Kane.This is not true either. Kane's passing from deeper areas can be sublime and his work-rate in chasing down the ball is relentless.
He stands a very, very decent chance of winning the Golden Boot at this World Cup. Let's hope he does.
I’m sorry, but why is this relevant? Because as a country we have a habit of lauding our players to the hilt?Yes his hold up play was light years ahead of Kane’s.
His second goal was a lovely finish.
Kane is English but lukaku is better.
You coming up with this on the back of one fecking game?He disappeared for major parts of the game today. Just popped in right place/right time for the 2 goals. I'd still say Lukaku is more involved in the gameplay than Kane.
And that’s my point imo he will be better than Kane in the forth coming seasons, of course it’s going to be impossible to prove given the different styles both teams play but as a united fan, I’m happy we have lukaku rather than Kane going into the next seasons....I’m sorry, but why is this relevant?

I don’t think you’ll come across many Englishmen who would suggest we have a strong team. Actually to the contrary, that this is the weakest squad in recent memory at the very least.
Fact of the matter is, regardless of his nationality, Harry Kane IS a top quality striker and one of the best in the world, as his numbers suggest playing in one of the best leagues in the world.
Kane has outshone Lukaku every season for what, four years now? The latter still has it all to prove.
So please, just stop with the ‘oh he’s English so must be shit’ argument. It’s so, so tiresome.
Same chance as Lukaku, right?He stands a very, very decent chance of winning the Golden Boot at this World Cup. Let's hope he does.
Not really. This was just a recent example. I've never been impressed with his involvement in the game when things don't look good.You coming up with this on the back of one fecking game?
It's sensible to judge players across many games, not just one.He disappeared for major parts of the game today. Just popped in right place/right time for the 2 goals. I'd still say Lukaku is more involved in the gameplay than Kane.
He's most likely gonna have to hit 30 league goals next season then to be better than Kane.And that’s my point imo he will be better than Kane in the forth coming seasons, of course it’s going to be impossible to prove given the different styles both teams play but as a united fan, I’m happy we have lukaku rather than Kane going into the next seasons....
Why are you laughing? The bookies currently make him 2nd favourite. If you don't think he's a strong contender for Golden Boot then you might explain why ...
No, more chance than Lukaku - even tho' Lukaku is a contender - for two reasons: 1) Kane generally scores at a higher rate; 2) England have more chance than Belgium IMO in going deeper into the tournament.Same chance as Lukaku, right?
I think you’ll find the British bookies odds are slightly weighted with the bets received to date.Why are you laughing? The bookies currently make him 2nd favourite. If you don't think he's a strong contender for Golden Boot then you might explain why ...
I agree Kane is a good passer both long and short, but it is true Lukaku is a better crosser, better one on one when isolated with a defender out wide too. He is just a more dynamic player but Kane is much betterThis is not true either. Kane's passing from deeper areas can be sublime and his work-rate in chasing down the ball is relentless.
It not over the top to call him the best number 9 in the world. He was the top scorer in Europe for the calendar year 2017 of all players and the top scoring number 9 in Europe's top leagues this season, only Messi and Salah scored more.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.
So 2 goals today and 1 assist with Denmark, great start for him.

Why?I think it is
Aye, he disappeared under the Tunisian defence on a few occasions .Not really. This was just a recent example. I've never been impressed with his involvement in the game when things don't look good.
Honestly it's ridiculous, people say being English helps him IMO it makes it harder for him. If Kane was Brazilian or Spanish he would be looked at a lot differently.Why?
Ha ha. You're a natural funny man!Aye, he disappeared under the Tunisian defence on a few occasions .
I do try .Ha ha. You're a natural funny man!
Because I believe with that label he should perform in the biggest games and be a match winner like others have done, and there are times, 2 FA cup semi finals now, the home game vs Juve in the UCL etc where he seems to miss something, maybe it is not him and is just his team. Euros 2 years ago too. I think a player like Lewandowksi has proved that, even if Kane had a better season this year. I don't think he is far off but for me there is still that level he needs to show.Why?
Aye he's a 3 season wonder, 10 goals next season if he is lucky, a January loan move to West Ham on the cards.He's quality, no one can deny that. Can anyone see his career stalling next season?
I think so too. For England's sake, I just hope he doesn't get too caught up in personal glory. You always get the sense that that he would attempt a 50/50 shot, rather than passing to a "must score" teammate.He stands a very, very decent chance of winning the Golden Boot at this World Cup. Let's hope he does.
Actually think he's on course to get better and better.Aye he's a 3 season wonder, 10 goals next season if he is lucky, a January loan move to West Ham on the cards.
I was joking .Actually think he's on course to get better and better.
To be fair I'd fancy him to score that 50/50 shot rather than passing to a teammate who currently couldn't hit a barn door even if it's an open goal.Very strange game from him. Almost invisible in a relentless wave of attacks, yet still becomes the hero.
