CollinsLCFC Posted 26 December 2017 Share Posted 26 December 2017 I spent the previous 2 seasons and even early this season playing down Harry Kane and trying to pick out his flaws rather than credit his abilities. All because of this dislike of spurs mentality. But, I can no longer deny that he is arguably the world's best forward. He may not have flourishing technique like Messi etc, but to score the amount of goals he does in the Premier league is unbelievable. Terrific player. He deserves to win trophies although I can't imagine it will ever be anything major with Spuds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is a good goalscorer, but his all round game leaves a lot to be desired. Obvious biases notwithstanding, I'd still have Vardy over Kane, because he offers so much more to a side. As much as I love Vardy, Kane offers more as you can play Kane as a target man and his game doesn't depend as much on pace or pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True if Kane keeps himself well he could easily play until his mid 30’s, he will break the PL goals Irving record for sure... his goal per game is up there with the very best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not watched us yet under Puel? Vardy is far from the one-dimension pace merchant that other fans seem to think. He's been an excellent focal point and also at bringing other players into the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 26 December 2017 Share Posted 26 December 2017 Kane scored 39 goals in a year which is remarkable but only 3 of those were penalties! Unreal stuff. Top top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 26 December 2017 Share Posted 26 December 2017 1 hour ago, The Doctor said: He's a fantastic goalscorer unfortunately, but he's not a good player. Forget how many times Facecloth has pointed it out, but watch his decision making, namely when to take a shot and when to pass. If he were in blue the match threads on here would be going ballistic at him 90% of the time (tbf, they were when he was here actually). Our title-winning season stands out - we played Palace away, Vardy in a difficult position, head up and found Mahrez for another 1-0 win. Spurs playing the same weekend, Kane in the same position, head down, driven wide. That sort of thing was why they were always 5 or so points back even before the collapse, and he's not improved it since. He scores quite a lot of goals though innit.

Maybe not, for one he's got far more years left than Vardy, but ask yourself this - if we'd had him and spurs had had Vardy in 15/16, who would have won the title? Spurs, no doubt. He is too selfish to work in a truly successful team - bar finding a team genuinely good enough to accommodate a goal poacher, a tough ask in this day and age, he's going to have to massively improve his team game if he ever wants to win anything.

Too selfish to work in a truly successful team? Were going to politely disagree on this one. I could give you probably 5 things kane does far better than vardy and to label him as a poacher only is just incorrect in my opinion. He shoots a lot (why wouldnt he??) But that doesnt mean he isnt a team player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane's movement is better than Vardy's and also takes one chance to score. See today, we've lost 2-1 and Vardy missed a one on one. When Kane is running through on goal I expect him to, and he does, score. I think Kane is greedy and shoots a lot but he is one of the best strikers of the PL era hence his unreal record. He's a proper striker and I like that. Edited 26 December 2017 by Fox92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
