Lukaku plays for an elite club so he must be better. Simple.

I thought he joined United?
Elite club is the new Buzzword for used to be good but now crap and sells a lot of tractors / water in Asia. An elite player based upon if the player joins one of these clubs with a big transfer fee.
Hence Pogba was better than Ali last year as Pogba is an elite player. Ibra was a better player last year than Kane...
Why subjective? Because we would have to take him to the Americas and Asia to prove it? The point was that he hasn't shown his mettle against players from there - hence his point that he can't be called world class yet - surely you can see that reasoning, even if you disagree with it.
I think Ronaldo needs to join Boca Juniors and FC Tokyo before we can really say he's world class
:defoe:
:defoe:
Didn’t Kane play in Hong Kong in May? Scored a goal as well didn’t he? Done it in Asia!
Frofl... Florentino Perez saying he hasn't looked at Kane because he would cost too much.
"Signing Harry Kane has not passed through my head. He is a great player and in addition he is young, He has many years to progress, but we are delighted with [Karim] Benzema and with all of the team[...] I didn't ask Tottenham's president [chairman, Daniel Levy] for the price because he would have told me that he [Kane] is worth €250million."
Which then begs the question, if Madrid isn't considering Kane why are the media constantly reporting it? Hmmm, could it be they're making shit up for clicks?

I don't disagree but it's subjective because the definition of "showing his metal" is vague and cannot be quantified.
When does any player become world class?
Does he have to score a goal in the final of CL/WC?
Do they have to win the final?
Will a hattrick in a semi-final be good enough?
Do assists count? If so how many?
Take Bale as an example.
Did he become world class that night versus Inter?
Was he not world class before that?
Maybe he only became world class when he pulled on the Madrid shirt.
Maybe he only became world class when Wales got to semis of Euros.
Maybe hes still not world class.
If you asked a thousand "experts" guaranteed you would not get a consensus (look at the shambles of those FIFA awards).
My point has always been that because its such a vague definition then opinions will always vary. None of which can be incorrect.
These experts (along with the rest of us) have their bias. Their definition of world class will likely vary (or exceptions will be made) dependant on which player they are talking about.
Hes not going to need a medal if he keeps this up for couple more years. He'll be a legend w or w/o a medal.
Disagree. Hes always been a bell end.
I can't say that i am surprised, but this is far from a subtle hint. This prick needs to fuck right off.
Harry Kane: England striker would command record transfer fee - Perez

In fairness he was asked directly about Kane which he responded by saying he hadn't thought about him.
It's just the BBC doing their "tabloid" slant on the story.
Whats most shocking is that they haven't opened it up for comments so the fuckwits can throw-up over the internet again.
One of those unique moments, where lloris much maligned distribution led to a goal. We should treasure it.
'BREAKING news' is so over used
He hasn't really said anything there, they will "see" what all of the players are like before selecting the team for Saturday.

Would also want to believe this, but it would explain why we brought both Son and Llorente off early yesterday.
I think we brought them off because neither of them barely completed a pass in the 2nd half.....
