This. Lukaku is great if you're very direct, but in a build up where players move around all sorts of areas on pitch Kane is lot more established, better touch, better eye for a pass. Lukaku is good at crossing too but the spaces in Prem are just extra tight.
Lukaku is unbelievable but a bit like Haaland he isn’t as good on the ball as Kane is. Especially in midfield areas where Kane becomes a world class playmaker.
I quite like the Belgian Bulldozer and Haaland would be my first choice because he isn't a typical Pep player and brings pace and power etc but Kane is just such a Pep player in my mind. I reckon if Pep sat down to design a centre forward for his English club side, something very like Kane would appear on the drawing board.
not sure Ake will be in any swaps...
Kane is as good as Lewandowski for me, which makes him the proto-9 for Pep as you say. What will be interesting will be how the system/team changes once Kane (or A N Other 9) is in it. Suspect we'll see better productivity from the wide forwards and also a more balanced defensive system as the 8's won't be under quite as much pressure to get in behind the false 9.
Kdb injury records is worse , so was aguero’sHow bad have his injuries been? Have you actually researched this or just going along with the false narrative?
He has missed 67 games in total out of the last 550+ games including only 18 games in the last 3 years
Hardly a major injury concern
Yeah, it will be fascinating because Pep will adapt the system again. Although I expect a variation on last season's theme.
I do think Kane would create more space for our wide players, in addition to giving them a better target. I"m sure Pep will have him drop a do the false nine bit but he is more likely to entice centre backs forward and he will be bale to play balls into gaps that our wide guys can move into.
