How is it? As I mentioned in an earlier post, Kane has scored 4 penalties this season taking his total to 19, 1 ahead of Lukaku. If hypothetically you could let fans from the crowd take 4 penalties against the keepers that Kane scored his against, I guarantee there would be some Spurs and Everton fans that could score at least 1 out of 4.

How many Spurs or Everton fans in the crowd could have scored Kane's first, or Lukaku's goal today? Penalties boosting the goal tally absolutely counts in this debate. lol A free shot unopposed from 12 yards.

However, I do feel some of the arguments over the last few pages have been biased. Kane has had 3 full seasons in the Premier League, and 1 before that where he played 10 games. We can't say a 5 year period when he hasn't played for 5 seasons yet. That said, Spurs fans need to accept that 'being a late bloomer' is a mark against Kane as well. Lukaku has been a top goalscorer since his first proper season which was with West Brom.

I'm also not buying this argument that Kane can score 'all types of goals' and Lukaku can't. Lukaku can score every type of goal that Kane can, and more, as Kane doesn't have the pace or power that Lukaku has. Lukaku's goal against Bournemouth was a better finish than Kane's today which was also from outside the box. Robles should have saved it. Kane could not have scored Lukaku's last week against Sunderland, running from the half way line, he couldn't have scored the one against Man City away earlier in the season either. I'd like someone to name a goal that Kane has scored that Lukaku couldn't score.

Kane against Arsenal at WHL last season. Kane against Stoke away last season. Kane against Stoke at home last week, Kane against Liverpool away last season. Lukaku does not have those finishes in his repertoire. He lacks finesse.

You can hardly judge an argument based on one season too tbf

I wouldn't factor in Lukaku's 2013 first touch for example to my appraisal of him as a player today. He's hugely improved in a number of areas.

It's the blue shirt which distorts it for me.

Love Rom but Kane is superior in most ways for me.
The very nature that many Evertonians were split on Rom till Xmas time this year or so suggests why.

i said 2yrs ago to a Spurs supporting mate,that I would have Kane over lukaku. Due to Kane's better touch and work rate.

But I also said that when there both at their peak i.e. 27/28 Lulaku will be the better player.

And I still believe that

Same for me. Apart from the loving Rom bit

Abs I still believe that

I actually think that as Kane does not rely on pace or physicality he will actually be a better player than RL in later years? Take Sheringham as a prime example. I think Kane in his thirties will play as a very good number 10 as opposed to a number 9.

They're great stats. Better than Lukaku's some of them. I've been saying since the start of this conversation that the players you play with and whether or not you get 5/6 free shots at goal a season is important though and stand by it.

Currently Lukaku is the better player in the PL and so far there hasn't been enough (possibly any) evidence posted in here from 2016 onwards to suggest otherwise that doesn't completely ignore the above.

I'm not doubting that. Just think lukaku is a beast. And when it all comes together he will be frightening
