[QUOTE=yonder1875;5545731]Luis Suarez is in decline a little now but at his peak for me he was a bit better than Kane.

Today I would have Edinson Cavani over Kane every day of the week. This may sound daft but I’d like to see Kane at one of the worlds top clubs competing for major honours to see how he would get on.

Karim Benzema is criminally underrated because he is usually overshadowed by Ronaldo and Bale at RM.

And finally, if Mbappe is switched back to CF where he played at Monaco I think he’d wipe the floor with them all

Mbappe will be the global superstar of football over the next decade in the same way that Messi and Cristiano have been in the last.
Sure Kane is a class act and has the ability to carry club and country but the boy Mbappe is something else.

This. Putting a side his goals record, his all round game is superb.

To be fair I don’t look out for Spurs if they are on tv. I have seen him play for England often enough and Spurs on occasion though.

I don’t really see the superb all round game though. He is talented and I wish he was Scottish for his goalscoring ability. I can’t think of a game he has grabbed by the scruff of the neck like Beckham would do for England.

I agree. Kane is brilliant, but he looks a bit clumsy on the ball.

At the moment Lewandowski for me. Of all time in my life time I would go with Marco Van Basten. He was basically the template for the modern no. 9. Incredible what he achieved considering he had to retire at 28.

He’s not got a superb all round game but he’s a superb all round goal scorer. Can score right foot, left foot, headers, tap ins, screamers, volleys. When it comes to scoring goals he’s incredible.

Can’t disagree with that.

Not so sure about that. Mbappe is obviously hugely talented and an amazing athlete however dont see the same level of quality as the players you mention particularly Messi, think his finishing is very hit and miss for example and game built on pace as opposed to Messi for example.

I agree in that I don't think anyone will be as good as Messi for as long as I live.. but I think RH was simply meaning when Messi and Ronaldo aren't around in the years to come.. Mbappe will be the talked about star of the world.

The young lad looks superb and has time on his hands for improvement.

Good shout.

I don’t watch much of Man City but is Aguero not more of a number 10? Likes to drop deep and pop up on the wings?

That's what a number 9 should do.

City play Aguero (or Gabriel Jesus) as number 9. David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne both play as number 10s.

Most definitely a striker. And easily the best in that league in my opinion.

Kanes goals to shots ratio isn't that great, Spurs create a hat full of chances which is why hes always there or thereabouts for the golden boot. Salah scored more with less chances and doesn't seem to have dips and troughs throughout the season.. Both are great players but not the best.

Agree with the Mbappe shout, hes at the very top of the world game at the moment. He looks like Pele in style and can beat you with pace power and skill. And he's still just a bairn. Lewandowskis past his absolute best IMO.

[BILLYHIBS]

Joe Baker or Lawrie Reilly flip a coin or better still a half each

I realise it was only in Scotland, but Henrik Larsson used to single handedly win games for Celtc.

They'd be playing total crap for 89 minutes then the wee git* would pop up out of nowhere with the winning goal.

That's a real Number 9.





* I obviously use the term 'wee git' in a complimentary way...

[Baader]

Kane gets tested more than Lewandowski does. Probably more than half of the others teams in the Bundseliga are a stroll in the park for Bayern. Great goalscorer and a shame he had such a miserable World Cup. His first and could well be his last.

I agree that Mbappe is going to be the successor to Messi and Ronaldo. He's frighteningly good.

Funnily enough I never thought he was all that special against Hibs. He did most of his damage against other teams.

Pierre van Hooijdonk always seemed to destroy us, he is the Celtc player who has impressed me most.

I preferred it when Larsson provided an assist for the winning goal.

Not quite, King Kenny created many of the chances but Rushie was some finisher.

The boy Torres was some player, as was Ruud van nistelrooy.

If we’re going by English Premier League era, has to be Thierry Henry and his mate Dennis Bergkamp was probably the best to watch, the best first touch in football!

I actually think Torres only had one exceptional season at Liverpool.
