Harry Kane MBE

Well he is already in the second tier of top strikers

You have your worldies at Barca, Madrid and Munich (plus Aguero). Kane is in the next batch already along with Giroud and lukaku from this league.

His ceiling is top 5 in the world and he couldn't easily be like Zlatan for example
If he turns out half a Zlatan, I'll be over the moon. He's already at 45% so not much more to go!
 
Giroud is better in the air and i think Girouds movement is better.

Kane can score from anywhere and has the ability to take on a player.

Agree re in the air, Kane is more clinical than Giroud, and you have to account for the fact that Giroud is 29 (a lot more experience, yet not a better player).
 
Question: how does Kane compare with the scum's Giroud?

Kane is more mi lie and involved. He is also more clinical in my opinion

Giroud is a good striker but only comes alive in the box. When he isn't playing well you notice it. You don't with Kane as he is constantly involved
 
I'd say Giroud's movement in the box is probably better than Kane's as he gets into goalscoring positions with greater frequency.

Kane does have good movement and perhaps part of the problem in comparing the two is that they are different players, playing different roles in different systems. Kane is the more reliable finisher though. Giroud isn't rated as highly because of the sheer volume of good opportunities that he fails to tuck away.

Not sure about that' i suspect it's more to do with Arsenal approach play being more refined over the year's and their midfielders being able to consistently create good chances for him. Not that i think his movement is crap or anything, but in terms of movement he seems a lot more static than Kane to me...

Lukaku is the real deal, jeez his record shows no signs of slowing...

Just out of interest how would you/anyone compare Giroud and Kane at hold up play?
 
If I was being picky I would say that he tends to occasionally shoot when it certainly isn't the right option. I think some of this poor decision making was during his 'barren' spell and even since then that looks to have improved IMO.
I do agree with that, but it's also worth pointing out just how young he still is. Decision-making is exactly the kind of thing that should improve with experience.

Right now - assuming Kane stays at Spurs for a while - if he can just maintain his current level, I believe he'll be remembered as one of our better players.

What's really exciting though, is the possibility that he'll continue to improve. He's only 22 years old! Can you imagine what sort of striker he'll be if he spends the next five years improving his game and only hits his peak at 27 like a lot of strikers. The lad has the potential to be among the very best.
