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.

    If United would have signed him when they wanted to it probably would have changed their story, but he needs the service, something that United would have struggled with and Bayern have players lined up to support the talisman

    It’s definitely both. He absolutely has better players around him. But the bottom half of the Bundesliga has a bigger gap to the top half than it is in the Premier League.

    As a Spurs fan thanks for stating the obvious. Only an idiot wouldn’t have known this before.

    Just a reminder, Choupo Moting also made bundesliga look like a farmers league. It’s just Bayern.

    Kane is one of the best strikers ever, his stats speak for itself, aswell as changing to Bayern and just completely deliver from day 1… He is also so good because you will find him everywhere on the field but when it matters he is where the 9 has to be aswell…

    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?

        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👍🏼

    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
