It’s been touted that Kane is making the Bundesliga look like the farmers league it has often been unfairly maligned as and that is contributing to his absurd start at Bayern. That isn’t the case IMO. What you are seeing is how Kane performs in a truly elite team with top class players from top to bottom. Had Kane after his first season or two at Spurs after he broke out moved to Man City especially or even Liverpool during Klopp’s era, there is a good chance he might have already either broken or come within a handful of goals away from Shearer’s record. He posted absurd, outrageous numbers at Spurs, but other than the Poch team from 2014-2018 it was a largely unstable team with major changes and holes throughout the squad. Even that Poch Spurs team at it’s very best was never the outright best team in the league. He is 47 goals off Shearer. Is it possible that he might have made up that difference if he had spent the last 8 years at Man City? I’d say it is very likely.
The guy is an absolute monster of a striker. He has walked in to one of the biggest clubs on the planet in a foreign league, in to a team filled with absolute champions of the sport while himself having won absolutely nothing. He is inheriting the mantle of arguably Bayerns greatest #9 of all time in Lewandowski. And he is doing it all absolutely effortlessly and with sheer purpose and determination. You can already see that his teammates have immense respect for him and see him as a match winner and leader. It is a remarkable adaptation that needs more credit than it’s getting.
Eric Ten Hag can kiss Glaxxers’ ass for not recommending him
It can be both. Yes, Kane has better players around him, but also yes, outside of handful of clubs, the Bundesliga is not the strongest league top to bottom. Som of the clubs at the bottom would find it tough sledding in the Championship.
Not much since Choupo Moting managed to score 17 in 30 games for Bayern last year.
Your point being?
pity that kane has still yet to see major silverware.
he really deserves compensation for his efforts.
I think both can be true. He’s in a better team in a relatively weaker league than he was playing in before.and is now showing the world how a truly world class striker should dominate that league.
Kane is 100% that guy, but it’s laughable to say the Bundesliga isn’t a farmers league when Bayern have won 12 titles on the spin.
There’s only two, maybe three other teams in that league that are even close to Bayern - Dortmund and Leverkusen, maybe Stuttgart and Leipzig. But realistically he’s playing for the most dominant team in a league with very few legitimate challengers.
But at the end of the day, a trophy is a trophy, and as a Spurs fan, I’d love to see him go and win stuff, even if its not with us.
And we still haven’t won an international cup with him. How or why do people defend Southgate?
Anyone watching footy and not seeing your point as true and valid doesn’t know anything. I have always despised Kane when we played against them (Chelsea) because of how good he actually is. One minute he disappears from up top to drop a scrumptious pass to someone for an attempt on goal and the next he’s scoring back to back hattricks.
He’s made the entire Bayern team better. Sane is living his best life since Kane moved in. Tel has the opportunity to develop under one of the best strikers ever. I’m a happy Bayern fan.
Germany has one team, what are you talking about, he is good but let’s not kid ourselves
Sounds like the only one kidding themselves is you tbh.
Well in that case Kane is the best striker ever and Bayern obviously the hardest team to play at , he elevated their level and now they’re probably have a chance to take the championship👍🏼
I ain’t readin all that
Not surprised, as an Everton fan you must be used to scrolling right to the bottom of the page 🤣
Nothing Bayern winning the league thousand time again but Kane will have a medal finally.
When he played with the spurs you could see how versatile he was, because of how lacking the rest of his team was. He’s a 9 / 10 / 8. He’s like a bigger, more professional Wayne Rooney (who was more a 10 / 9 / 8), but with less natural talent.
Everyone goes on about Haaland being the fastest to 50 PL goals but if Andy Cole or Alan Shearer played for Peps City side they’d probably do the same if not better.
Sort of similar with this. It’s hard to compare Shearer vs Kane across eras
So many people in this thread are acting like Kane is some undiscovered gem lol, the only people I’ve ever seen deny his abilities are 12 year old arsenal fans on twitter
Kane is a world class forward. As an Arsenal fan it is even harder to digest that Spurs got kane while we got Eddie chamakh Welbeck etc xD. Jokes aside , him and son really dominated the league and were way way beyond the levels of Spurs and ideally should have moved to bigger better organized teams But kudos to both for playing a majority of their prime for one club
I am sure kane at liverpool or city would have reached 300 goals in the premier league. He’s a playmaker and a worldie finisher.
Bayern are a great team and Bundesliga is a farmers league. Kane plowing there defense or being goalless for Bayern wouldn’t have made a difference. We saw how difficult it is for players to come from that league and settle into the Bundesliga same with french league. Every time Bayern is beaten in Bundesliga the opposition celebrate it as a moment in history , because it’s almost a given that Bayern are going to get 80-90 points seasons every season!. In the premier league even if city are the winners , teams like Aston villa Brentford etc can still get the better if them and it’s just another week.
The mean quality of teams in premier league is a cut above the rest.
Tldr kane is world class and Bundesliga is a farmers league, these two things can co exist
Yes the German league is a farmers league. Yes I wish that Kane had gone to city before they unleashed that Norwegian golem on the league.
