Fair enough. I am not English so wasn't a consideration for meHe's the only hope for England to win more than jack shit, at least in the short term.

Was there anywhere he could've gone where he'd win a trophy?
Spurs aren't winning one and no the "we ran a lot mate" isn't a trophy
We probably won't win a trophy
Bayern looked dead cert.
Who else was in for him?
That poster loves to bring up this misleading stat about how well Tuchel has done it in the league, but in reality if you look at his overall time there upon arrival and include all other matches... His 2.21 PPG is the lowest since Van Gaal 2.03.. Let that sink inLook at Tuchel's performances in other competitions, though.
The guy is too negative, and much too focused on wing-backs and goals from set pieces, for a club as prestigious as Bayern. That club is meant to be dominant, he's much more of an underdog manager - I bet he'd be great at Inter.
They were on an upward trajectory after a weirdly bad start to the season last year, and then did very smart business in the summer. Every transfer fixed a hole in the squad and they essentially did not do any wrong transfer.Last season Leverkusen P34 - W14 - D8 - L12 - pts 50
This season Leverkusen P21 - W17 - D4 - L0 - pts 55
WTF are they feeding them?
We won a trophy last season so if we went in for him last summer then he would have won one. City wanted him before Haaland but they wouldn’t sell him.Was there anywhere he could've gone where he'd win a trophy?

Shearer is venerated in the UK and he only won a PL (same as Okazaki) which is overlooked for how underwhelming it is over his career. Means a big deal.Being the top epl scorer means very little, especially if you don't have the trophies.
I mean we won a trophy with Weghorst upfront. Anyone better would be a bonus.As if ETH is not having enough bad luck. You want to dump the Harry Kane curse on him too?
There you go
He has won the "best player who has won jack shit"
I have zero sympathy for a player of other clubs who used to be threat to us for most of his career. Totally fine if he never wins anything and couldnt care less if he does win something in another league.
Why are you lot so invested in him?
Can we ban this guy?I actively hope he doesn’t win anything with England.
Weghorst isn't great, but he also isn't cursedI mean we won a trophy with Weghorst upfront. Anyone better would be a bonus.

Somebody arrest this man!We must allow diversity of thought. Not everyone loves the Monarchy and Brexit either.
His punishment must be to eat nothing but crumpets (without butter) and watch Eastenders on repeat until England win something.Somebody arrest this man!

I’ll second thatCan we ban this guy?
I think whether a player has one truly iconic moment is a pretty poor way to judge the quality of a player's career, but even using this premise, I think you're being harsh. Spurs fans would consider a couple of his goals in North London derbies iconic (the one he scores from almost the sideline springs to mind), and key goals for England against Colombia, Germany, Denmark etc in key knockout games are pretty memorable. I think it's a bit disingenuous to say he doesn't have iconic moments just because he's not a flashy player. But that aside, we're talking about someone who is Spurs all time leading goalscorer, England's all time leading goalscorer, and the star player of the most consistent England side in over 50 years. Not to mention, if he does break Lewandowski's Bundesliga goalscoring record this year that will be a pretty iconic moment of itself. Which reminds me, he scored from halfway for Bayern this season. That seemed pretty iconic to me.My mate said to me yesterday "name an iconic moment from Harry Kane's career" and ok I'm not a Spurs fan but I couldn't. Lots of nice goals, great combination play with Son, but one great moment where he got Spurs or England through in the last minute in a big game or scored something just utterly outrageous, I couldn't think of any.
As an example, Owen has that Argentina goal, Rooney has loads but perhaps his best being the overhead kick, Fowler tbh is probably the snorting the touchline celebration but you still remember it, Cole that goal against was it Barca in 99 where he linked up with Yorke so beautifully, Shearer loads but probably that volley against Everton, Kane...yes. That goal he scored while falling over is the only thing I can think of, there's not many players who could do it but it's not exactly a cool way to score.
Why wouldn’t anyone support someone with cancer?Why are you even posting? Thought you'd be at the candlelight vigil outside Buckingham Palace to show your support after Charlie's diagnosis.
What if it's Hitler with cancer?Why wouldn’t anyone support someone with cancer?
Then you make the exemption, or hope that he is cured so that he can be tormented later. Either eay make him suffer. Not sure I’d quite put Charles in the same category though. Even Trump I’d support for that battle.What if it's Hitler with cancer?

To a weakened state where he is forced to retire. Thought that went without saying?
You don’t want England to win anything?Invested? What do you even mean?
Speculating whether he might be the best player to never win a trophy isn’t the same as hoping he does win one. I couldn’t care less about the German competitions and I actively hope he doesn’t win anything with England.
FixedKane dodged a bullet.
You don’t want England to win anything?
Absolutely fine. Being weird isn’t for everyone though.No. I hope that's ok.

Probably not... Corrie, then?Are there enough episodes?
Bayern should've consulted with the great man before buying half of Spurs.
Fair enough. No I don’t but I don’t expect sarcasm/bad attitude towards me when I only asked a question…I'm not even English, ffs. You expect the whole world to root for your national team?
