Apparently he might be in the squad for the DFL Super Cup this evening meaning he probably wins more in one day than he has ever won at spurs
Alan Shearer is remembered more for that record than for his championship with Blackburn. Kane will not be remembered for a couple of league titles in a one-team league. And there's every chance Haaland won't stay in the Premier League long enough to have a chance to break the record.

Surprised he went there. Really thought he wanted that record and he could have chosen any English club bar City and killed a cash cow next year. A bit sad to lose another great Premier League player, not been the best summer in that regard.
That Bayern home top is horrible! Why did they move away from red?
Dear Diary,
Harry went with that other girl. He's so stupid. I never liked him anyway.
The reason why they signed Kane, which is untypical of Bayern to splash lots of money on an aging player is because they themselves know they're not the top dog anymore.By what measure is Bayern not all that anymore?
They went 6/6 in a group with Inter/Bayern and then lost to City in the quarters whilst having Choupo-Moting up front. The season before they got knocked out by Villarreal in one of the all time freaks.
It’s incredibly naive/ignorance to think that Bayern aren’t still a truly elite side. They’re better than any English side bar City.
It’s hypothetical but possible. If he stay in Spur or play for other English club not named City, it’s nearly impossible.That wasn’t the point I was responding too so your hypothetical scenario is irrelevant if not untrue.

Do you forget about this? they almost lost the one horse race.
With question marks still on their new manager. So they're far from an elite team, more like a team that is starting to do their rebuild. Now if after Lewa left they added those players imediately then yes, they are still a top team now. People think as if everything in football is instant. One year is a long time in football. They will win Bundesliga with Kane. But let's not use that league as a measurement. I doubt they'll win CL.Yes they had a poor season for them.
So they went and signed one of the best strikers in the world, one of the best defenders in the world and 2 excellent players in Laimer and Guerreiro.

You may have enough criticisms of aspects of German football to try and defend without finding the need to invent more.
Just no. City are better. Bayern are overrated by a lot on here.With this and Kim signing, they probably are in the same level as City.

I think Kane has another 4-5 seasons of strong goalscoring. The guy guy has proven to be more fit than Victor Osimhen and is what, 5 years older?My guess is Bayern will enjoy him getting some good numbers in the Bundesliga for 2-3 years before he significantly declines.
I'm not convinced Kane will do much in the CL though, though obviously he now has a better team around him so maybe we'll see him flourish.
I personally think this is a game changer for Bayern. Kane will help elevate them to a whole new level. He’ll be the big difference in them winning their 32nd league title in a row.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?
If they aren't an elite team then I assume the only elite team in the world right now is Manchester City? Who else is better equipped than Bayern to win the CL?With question marks still on their new manager. So they're far from an elite team, more like a team that is starting to do their rebuild.

To me an elite team is a finished product/very close to a finish product type of team. You can be very good but not in that level. So it's not related to how far they got into CL. Inter reached final but I don't consider them an elite team. So at the moment, City and Arsenal are definitely in that category. The other close ones are Barca, Madrid, ManUtd, Bayern. If a team bought new 11 very good players I dont consider them elite either, building teams takes time and you have to proof it at least 1 season.If they aren't an elite team then I assume the only elite team in the world right now is Manchester City?

If you take account how they did last season, yes, Arsenal are far more convincing and their team already found their style. What they added this window is to strengthen what's already strong. Not to fill holes like Bayern did (which btw, sacked their previous manager and just got a new one). I can't say a team who struggled to win Bundesliga when Dortmund weren't even that good is elite. Things changed you know. Just because they used to be elite doesn't mean they stay like that forever just because of their name.So Arsenal are an elite side but Bayern aren't?
Alright then.
Arsenal are 11:1 to win the CL with the bookies. City are 3:1.To me an elite team is a finished product/very close to a finish product type of team. You can be very good but not in that level.

I have an idea based on the performances of each team last season. I could just as easily say Utd are better than City and say you have no idea that isn't correct. Laimer and Guerreiro are good players but nothing particularly special. Kim and Kane are top players, we'll see how big a difference they make. Still think it's a bit much to claim they're suddenly as good or better than a City team that just won a Treble.To be fair you'd have no idea right now. It's all speculative on both sides.
When I look at their squad and then consider adding Kim Min Jae, Harry Kane, Laimer and Guerreiro. I reckon it will be up there personally.
We will see.
Arsenal an elite team Based on one season where they outperformed their metrics, bombed out of every competition, and then crumbled in the league. Only on the Caf, folks.If you take account how they did last season, yes, Arsenal are far more convincing and their team already found their style. What they added this window is to strengthen what's already strong. Not to fill holes like Bayern did (which btw, sacked their previous manager and just got a new one).

Just because they used to be elite doesn't mean they stay like that forever just because of their name.
Do you consider Liverpool elite? at the moment? on par with Arsenal? probably not. Still a good team with a good manager but not what they're used to. That's what Bayern are to me at the moment. But of course they will always do "well" in Bundesliga, that's a given even in a disastrous season.
