His goal against Bournemouth a month ago suggests otherwise. In fact a similar goal to the Kane goal away at Stoke last season that you've mentioned.

I dunno, he is probably faster than people realize and powerful himself.
I'm glad we've all agreed that Kane used to be the better player and Lukaku's great strides in recent times have seen him catch up and now overtake Kane in terms of ability, as evidenced today by his 100% clear chance conversion to Kane's 50%.
I doubt he's even seen two Lukaku goals this season.
Well the type of argument it is, is that you are willing to omit stats for the first 2 or 3 years of Harry Kanes on the basis that he was a developing player, yet will count Lukaku's goals to game appearances of the same age to hold against him and call him average.
It seems inconsistent to me.
Kane's done great for the last 2 and a half years, but Lukaku has been more consistent over the last 5 years. Stats can be used either way. Hard to choose between the two.
What I'd say though, is I think Lukaku I believe will score more goals at the end of his career. I think his ceiling is higher. I also think Kane is in a system that suits him to the ground. Not sure he could make the step up though.
As for Alli V Barkley, for me it's like comparing Cahill to Arteta. I think Alli is similar to Cahill but even better, Great in the air, a proper athlete and a clinical finisher.
Barkley I think has the potential to be better than Arteta. He probably has more to his game than Alli, but not sure he will ever have his goal output.

Yes I agree entirely subjective. To me he's colourless in every way. My favourite Kane goal was the one he scored for Gent. He also misses panache.
For balance loads of Spurs players I do like: Rose, Walker, Eriksen, Dembele, Alderweireld...

This is crap - Lukaku has loads more assists than Kane but scores a 6 to Kane's 7 on Link Up Play
Also comparing them on "team ethic" - Kane gets higher marks because he's a boyhood Spurs fan. Clearly makes him a better striker, obviously.
Yes he has. Spurs are a massive club. But I suppose go to a club where he could score 40 a season. I think both of them have the potential to do that. I think Kane would struggle though, where I could imagine Rom doing that.

It absolutely blows my mind that some people seemingly still don't rate Kane.
He is a tremendous player, seems to be a decent bloke to go with it too. He can finish, scores long rangers, tap ins, headers, holds the ball up well, good passer, fairly pacy, can dribble past or out muscle players and works his backside off.
What's not to like? Hes a complete forward.

Barkley played Alli off the park mate, he took the game by the scruff of the next when at least 6 of his fellow outfield players were having absolute nightmares
Alli did a Cahill - contributed little to the game overall but ghosted in superbly between centrebacks at the tail end of the game.
Based on today's game alone, I'd want Barkley. Dele Alli is a fantastic player though and goals normally = points, so that's a hard one. My preference watching games is to see a player running the show though.
As for Lukaku and Kane, Spur's dominance led to more chances for Kane today. 6 shots, and 2 goals is great going though. For comparison, Rom had 2 shots and scored from one of them. He is clinical.

Anyone who thinks Kane isn't a good striker is deluding themselves. He seems to be suffering more from Alan Shearer Personality Syndrome (ASPS) than anything else.

I don't think he has the Shearer thing. Shearer was like a joyless robot. Kane just seems like a normal bloke.

Spurs are a media darling team. Biased London journos
The way Spurs get talked about, you would think they have won 5 prem titles. 4 fa cups and 3 champions leagues. In the last 20yrs
What is it 55yrs since a title and 26yrs since a major cup win
