And, we're off.....2016/17

How good is Harry Kane?
Better than Lukaku,but I'd still put Aguero above him.

I'll be surprised if no one comes in for him in the summer!

You boring sod, some of us like Groundhog Day

That aside, City have clean sheets for last five away games. Eh, how's that happen. First look at Pickford and ah was impressed with him..
Thank god that banana skin has gone.

It's pathetic mate, even his fellow rednoses have asked him to turn it in.

I hope for Pickfords sake he gets at least another season at Sunderland (even in the championship) I'd hated to see another bright prospect warming a bench in the PL.

Kane hopefully will show it at international level, personally think Lukaku is better, but Kane is in a better team.

I think Sawtooth is probably on the wind up & ArsenalPhil just gets a bit excited when his Wenger alarm goes off.

Sane is looking very good.
How long is Jesus out for?

Because it helps to prove my point.

There are similarities with Spurs they are going down the same path with the stadium move and will be interesting to see how Spurs manage the situation.

Klopp and Liverpool will prove my point also and possibly Koeman and Everton too. Top 4 is acceptable maybe not in your eyes though.

Spurs haven't been one of the top teams in England for the last 30 years though - Arsenal have. Spurs are now coming into the picture over the last couple years but I don't see Spurs moving forward beyond a top 4 because they will end up selling their top players when the Madrid come calling.

CL Qualfiying would be a start for us - a start , a stepping stone to bigger things , to challenge for big trophies - I don't want to just qualify - want to see silverware being raised - if silverware doesn't arrive over the coming years then Klopp will more than likely leave. Not sure what Everton and Koeman have to do with it - expect him to leave when Barcelona come along - same with Lukaku etc.

Right now Arsenal charge the highest ticket prices in the league - do you not think for that you need to be alongside the Chelsea and City and United - as opposed to Spurs Liverpool and Everton ?

I think when Lukaka is on it he is slightly better. But think Kane a little more consistent.

I agree re intl, Kane needs to get a few more goals before his head drops.

If it's consistencey then currently Lukaku has a better record, Kane needs to do it for a few more seasons to match Lukaku.

And Klopp will go if Bayern come knocking, and Coutinho would go to Barca or Real, let's not pretend your lot are anymore loyal than anyone else.

Why would Bayern come knocking if Dortmund got rid of him, Bayern is top of the food chain, no disrect to Klopp but that train has left over their for him imo

Same as the Koeman report, both mentioned in newspapers, Klopp linked with Bayern in Jan.

Of course he would. He'd certainly go if offered the national job as well. In fact were one of the top clubs in Europe to come knocking I wouldn't be surprised to see him go. Same applies to the Spurs manager as well. That said, I'm enjoying Spurs this season and would love to see them invest big and really go for the PL. Not sure that will happen but if they continue to grow I can see them in the shake up next year.

Dortmund didn't get rid of Klopp

And why wouldn't Bayern go knocking for him - he has proven himself in Germany and shown he can win in Germany.

Regardless of any club loyalties Klopp is highly regarded within the game

Sorry would you prefer we allowed you post remarks about people's intelligence because they disagree with your opinion ?!

This thread over the last couple of weeks is full of threats and insults along with multiple cheap digs - whilst me and Sean may post passionately about our clubs at least we do it with respect and don't resort to insulting each other.

I'm really sorry for talking about football on the football thread

I'd argue that Kane's 3 seasons easily match Lukaku. Lukaku may have had more season in prem. but this is first one where his goal scoring has been as efficient as Kane's.

Kane has had 3 season and scored 20 plus in each. Lukaku yet to do it once.

id take a fully firing Lukaku over a Kane. But he doesn't do it enough for me. Kane the safer bet for a team hoping to challenge.

I think you need to read my post properly, of course he would possibly go if they came knocking, but if you take the time to read my reply, I asked why would they (Bayern), I don't think they would.

Ha Ha Forum gold, you are killing this thread with the constant Arsenal baiting, if you really had that much respect for his opinion you'd accept it, regardless of whether you disagree with it or not.

Have already said Kane is currently in a better side, Lukaku was the 4th or 5th youngest player to reach 50 PL goals and seeing as he's done it for teams of lesser quality says more for me.

I gave you some facts & figures a bit back after doing some research, yes Klopp won in Germany with Dortmund but they never really improved stats wise that much, Bayern faltered for 2 years and Klopps Dortmund's stepped in, but then Dortmund really struggled then for a while when Bayern started dominating again.

I personally don't think he's a long term manager, he has his way of going things and that will work short term, without a strong squad with quality on the bench to support his style it's a short spurt success without huge investment, do that and yes, you could have a winner!

Well maybe if he gets that second chance at a big team like he seems to crave each summer he can scored 30 goals...... 😂😂😂
