Lewandowski is the best striker in the world by a fair distance, but Haaland is definitely 2nd.
My bad, I was replying to a post that claimed he was the best striker in PL history which is why I got confused.I said best british pl striker of all time.
Kane fan boy?Stupidest post in this thread.
Feck Harry Kane. He scores a lot of meaningless goals in a lot of meaningless games, but he almost always disappears in big games. He has never won SHIT in his life, and his career is not good enough to shine the shoes of Ronaldo's career. Ronaldo is one of the greatest players that has ever played this game, and as recently as last season he scored more than Kane in Premier League (!), while playing for a worse side, so - you don't know what you are talking about, Kane fanboy.
As for Nunez - he is young and hungry, and I would have him in my team over Kane, any day of the week.
There are opinions and there are posts like this. Your underrating of Kane is criminal.Stupidest post in this thread.

There's nothing to see. Benzema has already done it. He's been the best player on the planet. Let's "see" if Halaand can one day attain such a status. Right now KDB is the best player in his team.We agree that Benzema was better last season, now let's see if he can replicate that season. There is nothing that suggests that Haaland will slow down or not continue to improve and deliver even more scary numbers in the years to come. Benzema is turning 35 and just delivered a "one off" season compared to the rest of his 17 years long senior career, where he played second fiddle to a better striker or was a tier below the very best.
The shocking thing is, that Immobile is only 32? I thought he'd be 36 by now.
Statistically those are the top 10 centre-forwards/goalscorers in 2022 so far. Ronaldo is scoring at a worse rate than someone like Arnautovic and Lukaku isn't even in the top 50.

The easiest question ever. Lewandowski by a countrymile.
The guy has 40 plus goals for 8 seasons in a row now. Was world class even before that at Dortmund.
Will you say things about the quality of Bundesliga? Lewandowski has the best goals per game ratio in the CL. Even higher than Messi and Ronaldo. The guy has like 80 goals for a bang average National Team.
What about all round game? Anyone who has watched Lewandowski play a decent amount knows that he has some of the best hold up play in the world. He has a very masterful first touch, ball control and silky skills. If you watch his first few matches for Barca for instance, you'll see how complete he is.
He's very adaptable and fits into all kinds of teams. Whether it's a Pep Guardiola possession based system, a counter attacking system with no service for Poland or an undefined style of play under Nico Kovac. The guy came to a new league and new team and immediately fitted in and started scoring for fun. Perfect striker for ANY system.
Always available and very rarely injured. Has one of the best goal ratios in Knockout games ever.
Name a striker who has been so consistently elite for such a long time with no off season. I'll wait.
The standout strikers of this generation are Robert Lewandowski and Luis Suarez. Simple as that. Others pale in comparison.
From the younger lot, Haaland is a limited player but a tremendous tremendous goalscorer. One of the best goal poachers in the world. Harry Kane is in his peak and a fantastic complete striker. Underrated because he plays for a club who don't really win the big things.
The whole thread is kinda mixed up between people looking at today, the last 3 seasons or the last decade.I think people implicitly assumed that the thread is about current situation only. So the performance in the last decade means nothing here. This is why Suarez isn't mentioned but Nunez and Haaland are.
To be fair, Benzema delivered a "one off" season compared to pretty much 99.9% of any footballer's career. His last season, beyond just the numbers, was simply phenomenal and as close to a one-man winning crew as I can remember in a long time. Between him and Courtois, they carried Madrid to a UCL title no one expected them to win.We agree that Benzema was better last season, now let's see if he can replicate that season. There is nothing that suggests that Haaland will slow down or not continue to improve and deliver even more scary numbers in the years to come.

Kane fan boy?
He played 1 class ball through the lines to someone today, reminded me of Kane. Fizzed it on through right to the strikers feet.
He didn't fare any better against Harry Kane in the cup....
They aren't remotely similar at all. They aren't perfect like Harry Kane
You made me double check those posts!Yeah you heard him fanboy! Bloody love Kane you do, won't shut up about him:
I bet Goatnaldo is reading this thread and is enraged beyond words. Time for him to score 10 in the World Cup.
Lewandowski is the best striker in the world by a fair distance, but Haaland is definitely 2nd.
Benzema currently. Lewa stat pads when his team are doing well. Flops when his team are under it. Benzema's season last year was better than anything Lewa has ever produced in his career.
Last 12 months:
1. Benzema
2. Lewandowski
3. Mbappe
4. Kane
5. Haaland

Haaland.
Lewandowski is past it.
Score 32 goals in 56 games? This includes the 3-4 month period at the start of last season when he was clearly very unsettled and not playing well.What has Kane done the past 12 months to be ranked that high?
Really because Im pretty sure Haaland plays for city (and has been banging in a ton of goals) and Lewandowski plays for Barca

The new superstars sure looks promising.
Those stats are for the calendar year 2022, the first team they played for this year is in the Lust.Really because Im pretty sure Haaland plays for city (and has been banging in a ton of goals) and Lewandowski plays for Barca
so i dont think that is up to date

485 mins and 10 goals in the premier league! 48.5 ins a goalFor me productivity per 90 mins is the most telling statistic for a striker, followed by how those numbers change across clubs/teams they play for.
I thought last year Haaland was already in with a shout and now I'm certain of it. Benzema is the only one who can compete with his big game performances, but the way Haaland has come to a totally different, far harder league, and is literally breaking records is beyond impressive. Lewa is getting old and starting to stat pad, and Mbappe is falling away from the conversation. If Haaland delivers in the CL it will be beyond doubt.
Its been 30 years since we've seen a striker look like he was a man against boys the way Haaland does.
