I sincerely can’t imagine why would anyone make the case for Kane to be even in the top 10 right now. Bellingham is in great form (probably the best form in the world right now), but the season has just started and we should see how it develops for him. As a Brazilian, these debates are particularly annoying. Neymar and Vini both had stretches in which they performed as well or better than Bellingham is doing right now in the last few seasons and they never got this level of insane hype this quickly, with Vini failing to get even to the shortlist of 12 players of the best last year (while Declan Rice did). The way in which English-speaking media shapes the debates and perceptions is insane.
This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen someone say on this sub
No
They are only the best players in the world if Mbappe is on another planet.
After decades of English fans and media overhyping our playing… are we finally in a position where we can actually rightfully call ourselves the favourites heading into the euros?
Not with Southgate.
No because two players don’t make a squad. France is still stronger overall.
England maybe 2nd or 3rd favourites on paper.
This is why you won’t win and why Mbappe is the best in the world. (apart from Messi who people have forgot about, but who hasn’t stopped performing since winning the world cup and putting up motm performances in every single game) Kane won’t show up for England just like he hasn’t apart from scoring a few penalties and none of your players are capable of doing what Mbappe does. Bellingham is your biggest hope seeing he isn’t not afraid of the big stage.
Must not have seen Maguires win rate.
Kane is for sure the best 9, Bellingham best CM but can’t say they are best 2, Mbappe and others still exist, always debatable
This season they are both better than Mbappe and last season, Haaland was better than him too
Wirtz is in running if we take this season as a whole for best CM imo.
People think Bellingham is a CM when in reality he is false 9/striker for Madrid atm
The only thing Mbappe can do that Kane can’t is be very quick. Meanwhile, Kane can do all sorts of things Mbappe can’t. He’s the best player in the world, and it’s just a shame he’s only now getting the respect.
I’m not saying Haaland is better than Kane but I think it’s a disservice to say that Kane is better than Haaland “for sure”.
Give most teams the option to loan one of them until the end of the season and I imagine most go Kane. Though I do agree it isn’t a clear choice.
Stats says yes
Right now as in so far this season? Probably.
Kanes numbers are great but idk see how he has been the best striker this season. Even in Budensliga Guirassy and Tel have been more impressive. Saying he is the best nine when he isnt even the best scorer in the league and half of his goals have been scored in 7-0 and 8-0 games is a bit much
People don’t care about context, they don’t realize not every goal is weighted the same and scoring the 4th goal vs some minnow is meaningless statpadding.
Don’t disrespect guirassy like that
guirassy
The defending in half of his goals were a complete joke.
Easily. Kane was also the best last season, but too much emphasis of Messi’s world cup & Haaland’s Treble/golden boot. In terms of ability alone, Kane was ahead of them both, only ignored because he was at Spurs, who didn’t win a trophy.
maddison
Ngl ive been in love with maddison since he joined leicester where he instantly became the top scorer for the beginning of the season and I still haven’t seen him ´struggle’ even with spurs where he’s doing even better, I can’t wait to see him play against european giants to see what it takes to recognise him as a legit world class player
Isn’t anywhere near. Correct
Likely yes, Haaland is a menace but a known quantity and we only see what Mbappe is capable of doing around 5 times per season.
No need for more to know that he is much better.
There is a 0 percent chance this article is written is Kane is still at Spurs
Don’t know about that. Spurs are performing very well.
alright, and how many Spurs players do you see in best player in the world conversation?
Romero
I think the main factor is he’s putting up better numbers than Haaland and Mbappe rather than there being a Spurs conspiracy.
Yeah kane is propped up by his surrounding talent in a league with no parity.
Yeah he hasn’t got any better he’s just gone to a team that is much more dominant in the league it’s in
Most in form maybe but best in the world overall nah
This is what Spurs fans knew and why the club were so adamant about the fee.
This obsession with always talking about which players are the best in the world on a weekly basis is really boring
