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.

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

    people laugh when I say he is a better striker than Haaland - he played as a cf behind the striker for a season and was unbelievably good at that role his passing is exceptional and hes a nightmare for defenders to deal with

    What he did in the PL for that Tottenham team is more impressive than what Haaland did in the PL for City

    if kane played for city i believe he would get the same number of goals maybe more but hed get more assists and he would offer more outside of the goals

    Kane is one of the best in the world. Under mou he played deeper and refined his playmaker abilities further. That makes him any manager’s dream, to have the abilities of two players into one.I feel Spurs didn’t build properly around him and son for whatever reason. But he’s a class act irrespective of which league he plays for.

    Kane somehow managed to get 37 g/a in one of the worst spurs team in modern era. Even when the team was on decline, he’s still putting up numbers and just because he played for spurs doesn’t mean he was garbage. Just because he’s 30, he still worth the price tag because he already proven himself to be one of the best strikers in the world. He doesn’t only have a lethal finishing but his playmaking ability is very good too. His passing vision are top tier for a striker. Only us spurs know that he really was worth the money or perhaps more.

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

    You really are bigging up a not great Bayern squad?

    Whatever, Kane has been underappreciated for years and if the weaker league highlights his brilliance than so be it

      The 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 games in the UCL also highlight this. Good thing the UCL is also a weaker league eh?

    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

    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.

    he really deserves compensation for his efforts.

        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👍🏼
