Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

I kind of feel for Bayern. Once they finally overcome Levy they will faced with the final boss, a top football agent who's even an tougher opponent to negotiate with.

The strange varnish under his coffee makes it look like a river of spilled coffee is flowing from that cup.
 
So Spurs probably have stolen him another trophy as he will sign too late to be able to register him for tomorrow's Supercup. (He would not have to play, just to be in the squad)
 
Looks like Bayern fans are quite happy with this despite the large fee. I don't blame them because they're taking the best striker the Premier League has had over the last few years (in terms of consistency).

Just a shame that we never got to see Mane, Sane and Kane line up for them.
 
Wait, a player who was very (very) unlikely to join us, irrespective if we matched Bayern's bid, isn't joining us ?

Damn you , United ! Damn you to hell !!
 
I think part of the reason Bayern are prepared to pay such a big fee for him is because they know that they will easily be able to sell him back to the Premier League at a similar price.

There was never any way Levy was going to sell him to an English club this summer unless they offered Neymar levels of transfer money.

I just really don't see Kane in Germany long term.

I doubt he will retain that sort of value. I think Bayern chose him because he's the most dependable top striker available and just a tad cheaper than Mbappé or Osimhen, more proven too.
For all his faults, Kane doesn't seem like a problem player or a primadonna. He does his shifts and is extremely productive. Bayern likes their Lewa and Toni strikers.
 
I'm not the one clutching and there is no controverse. He is an academy player of both clubs, I don't see why I would pretend that it's only Chelsea when it's literally not the case.
If you want to die on this hill go for it.
 
Because Bayern are an incredibly well run club, Kane has just turned 30 and they will know that he hasn't got many years left at the top, so I think they will cash in on him in either a year or two years max.



If Bayern made him available next summer, Premier League clubs would definitely be in for him at a similar price.

Lewandowski was banging in goals till the age of 34 with them and they only sold him because he wanted to leave. Bayern will be looking at having a top striker for a few more years more than at his resale value
 
It'll be intriguing to see what absolute dross Spurs splash this money on. Just before the start of the season too.

Spurs fans must be fuming.

If I have my stats correct, Musiala spent years being moulded at Chelsea's highly regarded and successful academy, and then joined Bayern and played the sum total of a mesmerising 12 u-17 games before getting his Bundesliga debut.

Bayern academy prospect just as much as Chelsea one, though. :lol:

It's not a qualitative or quantitative point. Musiala is an academy player of both clubs, he signed apprenticeship contracts for both clubs and signed his first professional contract in 2021. Are Chelsea the main developers in his case? Absolutely but the scholarship/apprenticeship contract that he signed at 16 for Bayern is also an academy contract as is the year that he spent in their academy before his promotion. From the POV of FIFA and UEFA, he is also considered to be formed at both clubs.
 
He’s still in his house of 12.11pm, he’s not even at the airport yet. He has been told it will be BM who will tell him he can travel, not us. Very odd.
 
I haven't checked the odds but them being more likely to win the CL than all of Real, Barca, Arsenal, Utd, PSG and any Italian club seems a bit strange considering they nearly lost a 1-team league and went out at the quarter finals of the CL last year. Kim and now Kane are great signings but I doubt many would have suggested Bayern were winning CL last season so why they would suddenly be more likely winners of the CL than the most successful team in the history of the competition is a bit of a mystery to me.
Yeah we went out in the quarter finals against City after 8 wins out of 8 games against Barca, Inter, PSG. How and why should these teams have better chances to win the CL? Let alone Arsenal or United...

City obviously are the big favorites. I'd also argue Real will always be among the top favorites. But besides these two teams there is no other team that has a better chance to win the CL than Bayern imo.

TSV Lehnerz is where he learned it all, everyone knows that.

I was thinking about this as well. As we’ve seen this summer, that sum of money doesn’t get you a whole lot, unless Spurs have scouted some gems ready to take the step up out there.

Why would clubs suddenly be interested at that price next season when they aren't interested this season?
 
If Bayern are clever they could keep Kane at the top for 6 years, there is no way he needs to play every week or at least not every 90 minutes for them to win the league so they can be smart with his playing time in a way Spurs could not afford and it could also help England as well

Frankly amazed that we haven't got involved. Fergie would have been all over this like a cheap suit.

We have been involved early but allegedly considered that the price asked by Spurs was too rich. If they are asking 120m+ from Spurs, I don't even want to know what Levy asked from United.
 
So it's fair to say at least Alan Shearer cares about the Alan Shearer record of PL goals

Also won a PL title early in his career.

It's embarrassing really, far more English players should go abroad.

It's a different mentality, new experience and it will help the national team. Trippier is a good example.

Kane will find Munich more similar than he might think, if he's going.

Lots of people thought they had a chance in the champions league last season. They breezed out of a group which included eventual finalists inter and eventual La Liga champions Barcelona and through to the quarter finals by beating PSG by conceding just 2 goals (in one game, against none of the clubs I've just mentioned).

They just happened to come across the best team with the best manager in the QF. They will rightly only be behind city this season, as theyve just added a highly rated CB and a top 3 striker in the world.

They're not as good as city, but the relatively clear of the rest imo.
 
My mate who is a Spurs fan thinks they will buy Orban, Gallagher and a CB when Kane leaves.
Gallagher i dont think really improves them, but Orban is a good roll of the dice- they're not replacing Kane directly, of course, and strikers in the bigger leagues are heavily overpriced; between him and the south american, one of their new strikers is likely to 'work out' to some extent...and if not, then Richarlison in his Brazilian position just might..
 
Hope this ends sooner than later.
He really was the one that got away, Fergie would have been all over it, a shame.

I didn't mean Bayern had less chance than all of those teams but the idea of them being 2nd most likely seems strange to me. Barcelona won the league ahead of Real so they should have a strong chance at winning the CL.

I still think Arsenal and Utd's sides are pretty close to Bayern's, especially Arsenal. Both finished above a Liverpool team that regularly outperformed Bayern in the CL for years. I don't believe this Bayern team without Kane would be guaranteed top 4 in the PL every season despite the BL title basically being a formality. The team that lost the title by 1 point were eliminated by a Chelsea team that finished 12th last year. There's a massive difference in quality between the top PL teams and the non-Bayern BL teams.

I do think you're stronger than the Italian clubs and probably PSG but they are still contenders. Both Milans did really well in the CL last year and Napoli kept their 2 best players even if Kim is a big loss.

Maybe Kane and Kim add the extra bit Bayern were lacking last year to make the difference but I still don't think winning the CL is likely.
