Or is he just a two season wonder now? Dude plays goofy as hell, but he's just really good.

Our favorite mouth breathing giraffe on acid. Harry Kane.

I really like watching him. There's just something appealing about his game I can't put my finger on.

Hope he doesn't do anything this weekend, though

I think Thomas Muller would give Kane a run for his money as the goofiest futbol player.

I actually think that Muller is the best comparison there is for Kane. They both use that lankiness to keep possession, and both seem to have a knack for poaching, as well as very powerful shots in tight spots. I am in no way saying that Kane is at that level yet, but like people compare Ben Simmons' game to LeBron's, I think the comparison is an accurate one.

meh Muller is on a whole different level of making something out of nothing and getting into spaces looking like a giraffe.

Kane is just goofy

And incredibly productive. So no. He's not 'just' goofy.

Lets pump the breaks here. The kid still had a 748 minute drought. He also scored 3 goals in one game. I'm not saying he's going to go cold again, but lets not jump the gun yet.

Y'all are ridiculous. If he's not bagging hatters every game he's suddenly abt to go cold.
Watch the guy play, he's pure class.

No I'm being objective. You should try the same.

I think when he's on, he's the best pure finisher in the country. The question is if he can maintain that. He's had a dry spell and recovered from it so he's certainly looking the real deal. I'll reserve my judgment for after two full seasons at this level.

Also, I literally said I'm not saying he's about to go cold. Literally. It's like you people actively refuse to read posts sometimes.

Another in the long line of grossly overrated English Forwards, by English fans and English media.

He's taken Rooneys spot for that position.

If you're talking about English international players then yes, if you're talking about EPL players, there is still no doubt in my head that when healthy Aguero is the best, bar none. Unfortunately, he's made of freaking glass.

Pure finisher is different than overall striker. I'm not sure anyone can clean up a garbage half chance like Kane can when he's firing on all cylinders. I'm speaking purely in terms of a "poacher." Aguero has a tendency to shoot over the crossbar on half chances. I think that may honestly be Kun's only weakness (wouldn't even say it's a weakness as he still converts the majority of those snap shots).

In absolutely every other category, Aguero takes the cake by a country mile.

Ah okay! Yes I agree with you there, but I think Kane is much more than just a poacher, IMO. He's a good player overall and I think he's still to young to really classify at this point.

Yeah he doesn't get the credit he deserves for the rest of his game. He's much more well rounded than people think. He's certainly very good at creating his own chances. But as far as which parts of his game are at the top level already, you'd definitely say his pure finishing (I don't like using the word poaching but it serves it's purpose to explain what I mean). As young as he is, he's already one of the best around at putting that ball into the net when he's got a small window to do so in.
