He reminds me of Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting, working away in his construction hat. Sure, you do what makes you happy, but you cannot argue two things - one, people would kill to have that kind of skill to fulfill their ambitions, and two - he has truly wasted his entire career with nothing to show for it.
He could have stayed at Spurs his entire career, but he is NOT a one club man.
He could have pulled his club through single handedly in clutch games, but he did NOT win anything with Spurs even at their best.
Similarly, he could have led England through to some memorable silverware, but again he has NOT won anything with England even with brilliant players around him.
He could have moved to any other PL club, but he will NOT be the PL's top scorer.
He could have taken the money route out, but he tied himseld down to a sub-par long term contract, and did NOT monetize his skills.
He will NOT be the reason Bayern win anything, even if they do their usual Bundesliga round up. Just a passenger.
He is essentially a nothing man who had a lot of potential and chose not to do anything with it, hated and abused by his own boyhood club's fans if Fighting Cock is anything to go by. Good to watch if you turn the TV on once in a while, and that's about it.
He could have joined City if he'd forced it, and won their first treble. He could have joined United under ETH or Chelsea under Poch if he wanted to, again, but chose the easiest route out with Bayern. He has essentially wasted away his prime years at the whim of an egotistical billionaire who player him like a fiddle. Levy did right by his own right - Kane let him. Good for him if it made him happy, but it'll be a user study on how NOT to spend your career.
Given all this, I think both Chelsea and United fans should be glad they did not spend a fortune on signing a player who has no mettle or ambition around him, even with the numbers. What a tragic disappointment of a career.

Blimey that's a bit harsh on him
Bullet dodged
What makes you so sure of that?
He's potentially a great german speaker. Always thought german is the language for him.
ETH was quite clear today that they chose Hojlund over Kane. I think we should all calm down and let history judge whether we made the right call.
PL record will just be a 30 years record anyway. He will never beat Jimmy Greaves one, and he could end his career by winning 0 trophy, 0!. And even he gets his PL record, it would likely be smashed by Haaland in 6-7 years time.
How funny would it be if Bayern win nothing this year, though
The club which always wins everything vs a man who never wins anything.
Let's see how it ends up.
He's the greatest striker they've had, and gives his entire career to the club, signs a long term contract fecking himself in the process. He turns down City, United, and all chances at silverware in this duration. When he eventually leaves at 30 with a year left, he leaves for non-domestic rivals with a 100m transfer fee by uncharacteristically dragging out Bayern through a saga at Levy's bidding. He does this at the cost of inconveniencing his own bedding into a new team, and having to move his pregnant wife and very young familty to a new country at short notice.
And this is his legacy at the club (Fighting Cock over the last 24 hours itself)
How can you tell me he's not a fool.

Again, if he's happy with it all, good for him. But I haven't said anything untrue.
Ouch they have proper turned on him
Maybe he will follow in Zlatan's footsteps and come here when he's 34
He let Levy pretty much doing what he wants and try to be that loyal player to the club (image)...ect. i dont know why, with all the resources and advisors he has, miss all the chances to take him out of Spurs sooner. Why wait untill now (late window, uproot your young family and pregnant wife) to sign it.
At the end of the day, if he dont win the CL or Cups with England the next 4 or 5 years, he'll pretty much lose out all the regconition he seeks and probably have to come back to England and be with Spurs to try to get the last thing that can help make him memorable with fans. Winning Bundi trophy with Bayern doesnt do it any good for him just like Neymar did with PSG (cause most dont care/watch only couple matches a year from those league).

No thanks.
He’s missed his chance to come here and we’ve missed our chance to sign him and challenge this season.
Move on.
I know it's hypothetical but Would you take a 34 year old harry kane now to ease in hojlund I would no doubt.
I am sure Harry will love it there. He has a perfect personality to be loved by the Bayern fans and he will probably win a Champions League.
I would have loved having him with us but sadly that didn't happen.
Hope Rasmus hits the ground running.

For sure!
"Ja, nein, selbstverständlich! Ich träume davon ein geheiligtes Bayern #9 Shirt zu besitzen seit ich ein kleiner Junge war. Ich bin unserem Ziel gewidmet und werde alles dafür geben, dass wir erfolgreich sind. Lasst uns triumphieren!"
Signed and could make his debut tonight in the super cup, 7.45pm KO vs RB Leipzig. He has to be officially registered by 2pm today to be available.
Would be extremely funny if he wins a trophy in his first match at Bayern.

I'd much rather he yelled something along the lines of "don't mention the war" during his unveiling
I agree he's a fool but I don't think he had many options. I don't think United were in for him and Real want Mbappe so that leaves no one else once you remove the rival teams -Arsenal / Chelsea. It was Bayern or stay put. If he did stay till Summer he still would have the same options. The top teams have strikers or are targeting other alternatives. Where would he go?
Tickles me thinking of him being fluent in German, unbeknownst to the world at large until now.
It’s actually insane how he let Levy bend him over like that. How there were no clauses in that contract is beyond me. Kane held all the leverage when negotiating the new deal. Should have had a non cl release clause active, a final year of contract clause whatever to any club. It’s insane that even in him leaving the club it is basically Levy forcing him to join bayern. Don’t get me wrong Bayern are a giant club and he’s got a chance of winning trophies but there’s no doubt Kane’s number one desire would have been to stay in England and play for either ourselves, city or Liverpool and take that record. And he fecked it up by letting that weasel dictate terms to him. He should fire his agent.
Thats during the first conference. 3 games in and he'll be saying stuffs like "War mein Ziel, ich schwöre beim Haus meiner Oma".
I’m assuming you’re asking where would he go next season on a free? If so, then I could have seen us absolutely going in for him. Whilst we all hope Rasmus will be a hit over the years to come, the chances are he isn’t putting up Kane numbers over the next couple of years (if ever) and in fact, who better for Rasmus to learn from for a few seasons. That chance has now past though and thanks to Levy, not only Spurs but the premier league is losing one of its best players to a farmers league.
So what stage is the caf at atm? Moved from "he'll never join us" to "we can hijack it" to "he's not even good enough for us, we should play Hojlund" yet?
Bayern win the CL once every decade, not sure that cycle will synch with Kane's tenure there?
Never really fancied her anyway.
Oh look, another Bayern “newbie”.
We never were in for him. We made the decision to go for Hojlund a while ago and sticked with it. Kane was never a possibility, same as Mbappe. We briefed this as well.
Some on here would get their pants wet if we would go for Ronaldo again.
I wonder if he has gotten any sleep until now. I can't see him playing tonight, seems like pure lunacy.
The absolute definition of a miles better winter. As a Brit living in Sweden, I’m in a good position to confirm that a wet, grey British winter is the worst kind of winter on the planet.
A dry -8 and much more sunshine is a beautiful Winter.
Yea, that sounds more reasonable than a lot of posts I've read since sky said it was "50/50" if he would stay or go.
Aye, the city with the World’s biggest beer festival has no idea of fun
I’m been to Munich a few times, and Berlin, and always had shit loads of fun, so maybe you should be looking at yourself if you haven’t rather than the Germans.

Finish his career at Spurs? He had 1 year left he would have gone to another English club given the chance - us.
Having lived in Munich for a while and visited England frequently, no English City compares to Munich, not even close. It's safer, cleaner, has better weather than London, perfect for a man with young kids. Also helps it is not full of bratty wankers.
If you have money, it's bot boring at all, like any other big city.
This is ridiculous. He spent his entire career there and gave them his best years. He is their all time leading goalscorer. Without him they would have been midtable quality for the last half decade or so. That’s really appalling from those fans.
100% agree. Wasted his whole career at spurs and in the premier league for absolutely nothing. With Ten hag being in charge he should have seen the light that we are now very capable of winning silverware going forward. He could have got both the trophies and the record which would have made him the goat striker in England plus a huge signing on fee next year on top of his massive salary. The dumbest top player I have ever seen.
