    Best in his position (PL if you have seen that mentioned), Aguero, Aubameyeng?

    You don't have to have been linked with them to claim your players are better.

    I don’t get what point it is you’re trying to make. Are you saying Kane isn’t the best striker in the Prem?

    Yes, that is obvious to most people.

    So even though he’s outscored everyone in the Prem for the past three seasons running with the exception of Salah last season, he’s not the best striker in the Prem? Ok, Diego, I think this convo’s done. You’ve been on the sauce, lad.

    Morata won't enjoy playing for Sarri...he doesn't possess the desired work rate. You can see why he was bit part for Madrid...doesn't really have the minerals required to be in a hard working team

    It depends how best striker is measured. Do you measure them in goals or their ability to make themselves count in the big games? I know for certain I'd rather have a Cantona, Solskjaer, Costa, Drogba type than a Kane type who scores more but doesn't deliver when it really matters most.

    I'm not saying Kane won't win anything but by god he's absolutely nowhere near Sergio Aguero right now, that lad delivers every time.

    When does it really matter most? 3 points are everything and over the course of 38 games he always scores loads for us in situations where we need a break, something out of nothing aswell as plenty crucial winners.

    Yeah he scores loads we've established that mate, but scoring 3 against Leicester is all great until he goes missing when there's a 'six pointer' game.

    Cantona vs Newcastle, Aguero vs QPR, Drogba vs United... Kane hides in these games mate and you ain't got any excuses for that. If he turns up then your trophy cabinet starts to fill up nicely.

    That's my point he doesn't...ask Gooners but I get you too. There have been games in the past where I've wanted him to rescue us but he hasn't...don't think anyone can do it all the time though..maybe more frequently though, yes.

    The question is would you rather have Kane entertaining you and scoring a load of hat tricks or somebody like Costa/Aguero delivering titles but with a few less goals?

    The reality is you may end up getting both out of Kane so no, you'd never willingly sell the lad and I can see why you boys are delighted to have him but from a neutral POV that's why I see others as slightly better.

    Kane never hides, that’s bullshit.

    If you're playing better teams you’re facing better midfields and defenders

    ... he also won the Golden boot at the world cup but hardly looked like the best striker there ... in the knock out phase he looked distinctly average compared to the likes of Mbappe, Greizman, Neymar, Mandzukic and co ...
