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

    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.

    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?

        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👍🏼

    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

    He won the golden boot at the World Cup. He’s truly a world class forward.

    Why do people have to find the negative angle in everything? E.G farmers league. It’s thick (by trying to be ‘clever’).

    It’s clear that he’s surrounded by far better players than he was at Spurs.

    There’s probably only one or two better forwards in the world.

    He gets so much disrespect cus of his lack of trophies, but his skill is there clear as day

    If he was in this city team he’d have numbers comparable to haalands if not better I’m convinced of that. And that’s no slight to haaland they’re both phenomenal

    The fact that a player as good as Harry Kane never won a trophy at Spurs is one of the biggest travesties in recent football history.

    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…

    Edit: What you are seeing is how Kane performs in a truly elite team that plays in a Farmer’s League
