Harry Kane

I get the impression they couldnt get rid of him more quickly if they tried.
The money became more important than the player who they finally shoved out of the door and as far away as they could.
My Neighbour,a Tottenham fan,is pleased he has gone.
Am i missing something here ?
 

Harry Kane

Do we think he is going to surpass Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 league goals in a single season?
At the moment it’s hard to see him not scoring at least 50 league goals.

To be fair the German league isn’t of the premier league standard by far …
We're spoonfed the line that the Premier League is the best league in the world, but the Bundesliga is actually of a similar standard to the PL. Bayern and Dortmund are top of their CL leagues, and Frieburg and Leverkusen are top of their Europa league groups, which tells you German teams are strong. Also don't forget the mighty Premier League includes giants of football such as Luton, Bournemouth and even tinpot Brentford.

The fact is simple, Harry Kane is a world class striker. He's playing for the best team in their league, and if he was playing for Man City in our league, he would also be smashing in goals week in week out.

To decide you have to look at the weakest teams in each division.
So currently that is Mainz, Union Berlin & FC Koln vs Luton, Burnley & Sheffield Utd

Which would be touch and go I believe

UEFA maintains a Coefficient table which awards points for all the performances of each country's teams in the 3 European competitions, updated season-by-season.

The current table shows Spain just ahead of Italy, who are just ahead of Germany. All three are a long way behind England, with the gap from them to the others widening ever further in recent seasons:

He wouldn’t get in the Man City team….
 

Harry Kane

Kane is a genuinely world class striker and those who’ve spent years labelling him as some kind of flat track bully have literally no idea what they’re talking about. His scoring record is breathtaking and he has far more to his game than just goals.

Most people on here under 30 would get a dozen goals a season if they played for Man City.

Plus all that scandal-free. Worth a mention.

Probably. I think Kane is demonstrating a few things. First, that he is himself one of the best strikers in world football history. Had he been at a better team than Spurs he’d have scored a lot more goals and won many trophies. He’s also showing that a good team with an outstanding generational talent can still prosper with good team management and less reliance on such a player (cf Ronaldo’s return to Man U, maybe how we’re doing without Toney, how we’ve done without Eriksen). He’s also highlighting that overall maybe the Bundesliga is rather less good as a league than the PL.
 

Harry Kane

Harry Kane could walk into any team in the world and his record shows it.
The amount of Spurs i know who have said "he needed to go"" he was holding us back"is laughable.
They will miss him in the long run because he is that good.
Its not his fault too many head coaches relied on him to deliver for the team and he did and not his fault he got picked to play in the Champions league final when not fit.
 

Harry Kane

Anyway aside from that you’ve got to admit he’s in the top 3 strikers in the world atm?
 

Harry Kane

Another goal tonight for Harry in a 1-0 win. 18 Bundesliga goals now, the most ever in a season from an Englishman, overtaking Kevin Keegan & Jason Sancho’s 17. And he’s only played in 12 matches!!?
 

Harry Kane

Jason Sancho hasn't even played a game in Bundesliga but got 17 goals, I can't see anyone beating that goals to game ratio.

It can't just be a coincidence that Premier League only topped the table, and started to draw away, once the Bees joined the Prem in 2021?

I like Kane and he's been a brilliant servant for England and Spurs, but there is something quite amusing about the strong possibility of him moving to Bayern for trophies and them winning nothing for the first time in ten years

Agree, quite aptly schadenfreude

Yep, icing on the cake would have been Spurs winning the league

?"Oh, Harry, Harry!!
Moved to Bayern Munich and he won f*** all!!"?
 

Harry Kane

He’s a flat track bully. No more.
 

Harry Kane

Utter nonsense
Utter nonsense, agreed…

but there is an argument that the teams he’s in have to tailor how they play so much to his skill set that the rest of the talent become less useful; that the team as a whole suffers.

Toney is an analogous player, and it would have been interesting to see where we were if the injuries hadn’t robbed us of so many good players this season.

…or, and this is equally possible, I’m talking complete rubbish.

you just wanted to say 'analogous'
 

Harry Kane

Quite intereseting how people are ranting about Kane's time in Munich, while he's eliminating one Bundesliga scoring record after another.
Bayern's "poor" performance ist not his fault but Tuchel's.
Everybody is fed up with his inteviews, as he always blames anyone but himself for their performances.
And I still do believe that Bayern will be champions again.
 

Harry Kane

Honestly, I find it staggering that there are people who still hold this view. It’s utterly without substance. He’s one of the greatest front men this country has ever produced and has so much more to his game than goals.
