It’s been touted that Kane is making the Bundesliga look like the farmers league it has often been unfairly maligned as and that is contributing to his absurd start at Bayern. That isn’t the case IMO. What you are seeing is how Kane performs in a truly elite team with top class players from top to bottom. Had Kane after his first season or two at Spurs after he broke out moved to Man City especially or even Liverpool during Klopp’s era, there is a good chance he might have already either broken or come within a handful of goals away from Shearer’s record. He posted absurd, outrageous numbers at Spurs, but other than the Poch team from 2014-2018 it was a largely unstable team with major changes and holes throughout the squad. Even that Poch Spurs team at it’s very best was never the outright best team in the league. He is 47 goals off Shearer. Is it possible that he might have made up that difference if he had spent the last 8 years at Man City? I’d say it is very likely.
The guy is an absolute monster of a striker. He has walked in to one of the biggest clubs on the planet in a foreign league, in to a team filled with absolute champions of the sport while himself having won absolutely nothing. He is inheriting the mantle of arguably Bayerns greatest #9 of all time in Lewandowski. And he is doing it all absolutely effortlessly and with sheer purpose and determination. You can already see that his teammates have immense respect for him and see him as a match winner and leader. It is a remarkable adaptation that needs more credit than it’s getting.

Calling anything professional a “farmers league” speaks of hubris that exists amongst Premier League fans
He would have been perfect for City. Haaland has been great, but the two are different. In Pep’s system, I will die on the hill that Kane was the optimal striker. Complete player.
pity that kane has still yet to see major silverware.
he really deserves compensation for his efforts.
I ain’t readin all that
Not surprised, as an Everton fan you must be used to scrolling right to the bottom of the page 🤣
Nothing Bayern winning the league thousand time again but Kane will have a medal finally.
I think both can be true. He’s in a better team in a relatively weaker league than he was playing in before.and is now showing the world how a truly world class striker should dominate that league.
So many people in this thread are acting like Kane is some undiscovered gem lol, the only people I’ve ever seen deny his abilities are 12 year old arsenal fans on twitter
You really are bigging up a not great Bayern squad?
Whatever, Kane has been underappreciated for years and if the weaker league highlights his brilliance than so be it
The 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 games in the UCL also highlight this. Good thing the UCL is also a weaker league eh?
Germany has one team, what are you talking about, he is good but let’s not kid ourselves
Sounds like the only one kidding themselves is you tbh.
Well in that case Kane is the best striker ever and Bayern obviously the hardest team to play at , he elevated their level and now they’re probably have a chance to take the championship👍🏼
Theres things inbetween 0 and 100 just fyi
When he played with the spurs you could see how versatile he was, because of how lacking the rest of his team was. He’s a 9 / 10 / 8. He’s like a bigger, more professional Wayne Rooney (who was more a 10 / 9 / 8), but with less natural talent.
Everyone goes on about Haaland being the fastest to 50 PL goals but if Andy Cole or Alan Shearer played for Peps City side they’d probably do the same if not better.
Sort of similar with this. It’s hard to compare Shearer vs Kane across eras
He was awful today in the Champions League
He hasn’t confirmed anything you have said. Lets wait and see if he actually can win something with Bayern
Well that’s a silly thing to say. Bayern, on any given season, are at least 80% favorites to win their league…
Yes the German league is a farmers league. Yes I wish that Kane had gone to city before they unleashed that Norwegian golem on the league.
its a farmers league and he is scoring against shit teams. good for him.
Anyone watching footy and not seeing your point as true and valid doesn’t know anything. I have always despised Kane when we played against them (Chelsea) because of how good he actually is. One minute he disappears from up top to drop a scrumptious pass to someone for an attempt on goal and the next he’s scoring back to back hattricks.
He’s made the entire Bayern team better. Sane is living his best life since Kane moved in. Tel has the opportunity to develop under one of the best strikers ever. I’m a happy Bayern fan.
It can be both. Yes, Kane has better players around him, but also yes, outside of handful of clubs, the Bundesliga is not the strongest league top to bottom. Som of the clubs at the bottom would find it tough sledding in the Championship.
