@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs People seem to think he can just waltz back in 4 years, as a 35-year old, and score 48 goals before he retires. Not impossible sure, but I really don't see it happening.
I think he'll end up regretting not beating Shearer's record when he had the chance. Which is sad.
I agree. He’ll probably end up back with us, but will fall short of Shearer’s record.
While I don’t blame him for wanting to win trophies, he won’t be unique - hundreds of professional players win trophies in Europe every year.
Le Tessier is lauded, and rightly so, for being a one club man who could’ve left to more competitive teams. A good player, but not in Kane’s league.
If Kane stayed, whether he won a trophy with us or not, he would’ve achieved something special in modern football. A world class player, who could’ve played for any club of his choosing, but decided to persevere with his boyhood club and broke records instead.
Oh well.
@JimBliss @Typeo @ali_g @spurs Certainly a fair point.
I guess it remains to be seen whether or not he'd go on to regret that. Can't help but think if he helped propel Bayern to a CL win and picked up that level of silverware he'd see sacrificing that record as worth it.

Will be interesting to see what Bayern want for him with 1 year left on his contract in three years. 😄
@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs If he wins the Champions League with Bayern, then the move will have been vindicated probably. I just think it's less likely they'll do that in the next 3-4 years than him breaking Shearer's record would have been if he'd stayed.
@JimBliss @TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs
Yeah I think it will be difficult. Not because of his age but because the Premier League will have moved on stylistically.
