Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

What are the chance for Bayern to win CL this season? I think they have one of the strongest defence and midfield in Europe, and with addition of Kane support by the likes of Musiala and Gantry etc they will be very strong up front as well:

Neuer
Mazraoui De Ligt KMJ Davies
Laimer Kimmich
Ganbry Musiala Sane
Kane



They have a very good chance. Possibly the only club that can stop City, Liverpool and Arsenal of winning the CL.
 
Munich is flipping brilliant, love it here. There are some things that grind my gears, but relates more to visa issues for my family since we aren't nationalized Germans yet.

The city is safe, clean, beautiful and on the doorstep of the Alpes and lakes. English isn't a major issue since there is a growing expat community here so more and more stores, restaurants and services speak a bit of English. I've been here 4 years and don't speak any German, my wife has basic German, and we get by fine (some issues here and there).
There can be absolutely no doubt that compared to London, München is an insignificant and boring little provincial town.
Although I doubt Harry Kane is the type to frolic around the Notting Hill Carnival, attend gallery openings, or sample the most delicious street food markets. In daily life he might find driving to Säbener Strasse more pleasant than London traffic, and whatever Spurs' training complex is called. Also their home TVs will have Disney+ installed just as well.

However I will maintain that Cheshire would have been a better fit for him than Grünwald.

I mean, Kane is an excellent player but somehow my gut feeling tells me that Bayern won't be as good as people assume this season. The impressions from the last season are still present and there was so much going wrong for them that I'm not fully convinced they can shake it off that quickly.

And more generally, IMO their team quality decreases year after year since Guardiola left and they seem unable to stop that trend. And that is probably because everything went their way in the late 00s/early 10s.
They were only able to get their hands on a player as good as Robben because of his injury record, many players developed much, much better than could reasonably be expected (Müller, Ribery, Lahm, Boateng, Schweinsteiger), they were able to poach the best talents from the competition almost for free (Neuer, Hummels, Lewandowski) and they were able to sign arguably the best coach in history who lured world class talents to their club (Thiago and Götze). All of this is hardly reproducable today. I think it will take them a while to become a top 3 team again. They will end up with a few gems like Kane, Musiala, Kimmich or Davies who could possibly be as good as their predecessors but I can't imagine they'll have a team as good as in the Heynckes/Guardiola days anytime soon. In hindsight, it is really indredible what kind of team they assembled on a comparatively low budget.
 
does anyone else think that kane has gone to bayern with our blessing? now he can refuse to train and force a move this summer, without is having to deal with levy. united have played a blinder imo.
 
Thank feck we don't have to hear people go on about that worthless record anymore.

Coman is their best winger.
 
I don't know why, but I find myself hoping things work out really well for Kane at Bayern.
 
Ooohh, I stopped following a while ago, happy it finally happened. Hopefully he integrates well into the team and Bayern becomes again an offensive machine.

From what I saw in this forum, he hasn't won a trophy with Tottenham?! It would be hilarious if he plays tonight and wins the German Supercup on his first day.
 
I wonder if Haaland played a part in this. He must know that if Harland stays in the PL, then his goal record would get shattered at some point, so where is his legacy? I think it's a great move for him and am impressed he had the guts to do it. Got a lot of time for Kane, comes across as incredibly normal.
 
I thought this was finally going to be the moment we’ve all been waiting for…

Mane Kane Sane

But Sadio had to go and spoil it all! :nervous: (you know you all just read that as Karney!)

Doesn't really work if they're pronounced differently anyway.

Haaland won’t be around long enough to challenge it. Will be gone within a couple of years. Certainly once pep has gone.
 
So he should just rot at Tottenham rather that going abroad to win trophies? He was never going to another English team.

Well no, he could very likely have moved in January when the prospect of him going for free was a very real prospect.

Or he could have gone for free and a HUGE signing fee and wages as soon as the season finished to literally anywhere he wanted.

He acted / people are talking like he still had 3 years left on his contract.

He had the power here, not Levy, and he let Levy mug him off one last time.

Or he acknowledges that a fake record doesn't build any legacy.
 
The idea that based on last season Bayern, Real Madrid or even Milan are not elite but Arsenal are is one of the wildest shared on the caf since the caf raving about Mangala.

The overrating of Arsenal on here has reached nauseating levels.

Disagree.

Bayern have gone out of their way to show Kane how much they wanted him, that will mean a lot.
 
Premier League scoring record... Is this a joke??

All the greats in history are remembered by their wins(trophies). Kane was ridiculed for years for being a loser and not winning trophies, now some league scoring record is somehow a higher achievement than winning trophies... what a joke.

This is also another downside of the 'data-driven' era we are living. Focusing on numbers is such bullshit.

No. You've got this the wrong way round.... this move has been heavily driven by the ultra "must win to prove yourself" era we are living. Teams like Spurs are simply being phased out of even having a true relative chance of winning even cups... because all the players just flood to same few teams just get hands on trophies. It's just another step towards the ESL. The things sadly inevitable, and fans claiming Kane needs to do this or go to someone massive to just win something are kind of oblivious to the fact they are part of the reason it is inevitable.

Kane's spearheaded England and Spurs to levels they had no right to be at, given the talent and structure around him.... outside of the superb stadium, they are just a tier below the mega elite.

He also does deserve to play for a massive club like Bayern though. Shorter domestic season, hopefully smashes it up, and ends up back in England.

They went toe to toe with the UCL winner. I'd say all things considered they definitely looked like a top 5 team last season. City was heads and shoulders above everyone else in the UCL and Arsenal wasn't that much worse than them in the EPL.

The poster didn't suggest that they were a top 5 team, he suggested that they were a top 2 team. And we are talking about a team that miserably failed in all cups last season.

The problem with that mentality is that you end up with top players sitting on benches at a few clubs picking up piss easy trophies. Kane winning something at Spurs would have been a significantly greater achievement in terms of challenge than picking up a couple of titles at Bayern. My guess is he spends 2-3 years in Germany, gets 4-5 trophies to stop people bitching about him not winning anything (as if it is a failing in the super-team era) and then comes back to have a crack at the scoring record.

To be fair, Brentford beat them twice last season. Are they an elite team now?
