Honey Honey 3,767 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It's easy to use stats to determine this one. Joelinton scored 7 goals in 29 Bundesliga appearances, a goal every 4.1 games. He also scored 3 goals in 59 Premier League appearances, a goal every 19.6 games. Moving from the Bundesliga to the Premier League will therefore make your goal tally 4.7 times worse. Lewandowski has a goal every 0.71 games this season in the Bundesliga. The equivalent to a goal every 3.3 games in the Premier League. Harry Kane has a goal every 1.58 games. In conclusion if Lewandowski played in the Premier League he'd probably be at the level of somewhere between Ollie Watkins and Che Adams. Close poll.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 To be fair to the lad, banter or ball breaking is harmless. Like when your mate jokingly calls you gay or the R word, but it doesn't matter, because you aren't and therefore it's harmless. But if someone brought up a tender spot with a grain of truth you might get defensive. (before I had braces as a kid calling me shark boy was a death sentence for example) If we were out here calling Beckham shit, the united fans wouldn't care because they don't need to be defensive about it, his quality speaks for itself. If we called Drogba shit, the Chelsea fans would roll their eyes. Pour shit on Gerrard and boy golly the truth hurts. It's the truth in the matter that hurts. Once a players career is over and you can inspect it retroactively, all the positive and negatives are in the air and there's nowhere to hide. The golden boy didn't deliver. Everything Liverpool achieved could have been done without him, he was well behind Lampard, a player who to be fair to Stevie G was well ahead of his time, and worse, the whole nation bought into the hype and pinned their hopes on the wrong midfielder. He was a fantastic player, hammer foot and quality pings. Club legend? Of course. World class? You're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy the Ferrari and wait for about 5 years, in which it will roughly double its value, then you sell it. With the money you can buy a small EV that will allow you to find a parking lot with ease, like a VW ID.3 for example and a hybrid for longer commutes at high speeds like a C class for example. After that you still have enough to buy an apartement and the little Ford as a beginner car for your son/daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Lewandowski is in the very top bracket of players with Messi and Ronaldo. Kane is easily the tier below but he's still a brilliant player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted March 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 28, 2021 Kane is still incredibly underrated as a footballer. As a goalscorer you're picking Lewandowski of course. The track record speaks for itself, however you put Kane in that Bayern team I really don't think you see a drop off at all. Kane is a better all round player than RL. His passing range is absolutely ridiculous, he does everything so well. He's strong defensively, he's our best playmaker and obviously a phenomenal goalscorer. It's fashionable to criticise him, he's had it his whole career, for the way he talks and the club he plays for - but he's a consummate professional and role model, and an exceptional player that gets better and better. When all is said and done he's probably going to be England's record goalscorer and the Premier League's top goalscorer. Just depending on where his career takes him next.

Choosing a player of Lewandowski's calibre doesn't also mean Kane becomes underrated. I do agree with the rest of it. Anyone taking the piss out of how he speaks just means they have nothing else to pick at him for so end up being personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to see the comments on forums, comments all over social media, he gets attacked more than any top player I know. Look at some of the foreign contingent even in this thread.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think they’re different players and it’s a little unfair to compare the two. Kane has a better all round game but Lewandowski has the edge in the box, though I think if you put Kane there, you’d probably see a similar amount of goals a year from him.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted March 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 28, 2021 I don't think I could choose either one as the best, Kane reminds me of Gary Lineker in his days but better, Kane is great at recovering from injury and then carry on where he left off.

Mpache 672 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Lewandowski and Kane are the 2 best in the world. I think Lukaku needs to be considered in that world class tier though. I'd have him third. He's the only one who comes close to those two I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithcore 1,276 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 While I think Lewandowski is clearly the better striker I always thought that Kane and Lewandowski pretty much look exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before, but the English are very negative towards their own talent, and it happens in a lot of countries.

I loved watching Lukaku and always say we should never have got rid of him, Conte did not want to sell him at Chelsea I do believe but Conte has got him back now at Inter and you can see why Conte did not want him to go from Chelsea, Lukaku is on fire.
