    Both ...

    ... and he's a very good professional footballer - but a little bit short of world class ...

    He's world class, that's why one of the biggest clubs in the world bought him.

    If you say so -

    Eric Dier will no doubt be ecstatic at the news ... indeed - he's been with Hazza throughout all of those shared 'triumphs' <laugh>

    Kane looks exactly like Big Bird from Sesame Street and that's the overriding issue.

    What the **** has Eric Dier got to do with the level of Kane's ability? Using that skill measuring method Declan Rice is obviously **** as he played in the same team as Carlos Sanchez.
    ****ing idiot.

    <laugh> ... not really mate - got nothing against Hazza but he does suffer from the English rose tinted glasses effect - not the first - Wayne Rooney before him was similarly lauded as World Class - but I could never find a starting spot un my world XIs for him either ...

    Wayne did however contribute time and again to team triumphs ... but would you really bracket him with the likes of Zidane, Messi and Ronaldo?

    He's been signed by the same Big Club mate in the same season as Haza and after a similar spell at Spurs... so, by your definition, must surely be 'world class' ? - do try and keep up - good chap <cheers>

    Pretty sure Kane would make a lot of top managers world XI's, there's a bit of a dearth of top quality CF's and I'd pick him over Haaland (and Isak, who plays for my team). Alongside Bellingham he's the only player we've got who could make that argument I reckon - others are close and hopefully prove me wrong over the tournament.

    Until he gets into Fosse’s World XI he can’t be considered at that level.

    you keep going on about the team stuff. Nobody is disputing he hasn’t won anything.

    Individually he’s absolutely brilliant

    I'd put Foden and Rice ahead of Kane in that regard ... and I doubt me, or Pep, would have him before Haaland ... I also don't think he's as good as Ibrahimovic, Lewadowski or Drogba were in their pomp ...
