I’m from England and it’s not often you see English players shine when they go to other leagues, I just wanted to know what you guys thought of him.

    First off: I thought he was way too expensive for his age and one year of contract left.

    Anyway: I was wrong. Great guy, doing his all, pushing the team and a scoring machine.

      Spurs here just checking in. Because you know, kanes a club legend.

      I was saying this to all Bayern fans at the time. I think people didn’t get how good he is, but spurs fans did. Regardless of age and contract he was by far and a way the best way any club the world could spend £100m that summer - apart from Bellingham.

      I think now the dust has settled post saga. It’s just a good deal for everyone.

      • We got a HG legend who was our stop scorer 10 years in a row and record goal scorer & we look are doing well without him.

      • He left at 30, for a decent fee to go and play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

      • Bayern got one of the best players in the world, for a fee they can afford.

        kanes a club legend.

        Formerly a Spurs fan. From how some treated him, I disagree he is being seen as a club legend.

      same here. Gotta take the L, but damn he’s crazy.

    My expectations were high as they should be for a player that cost a 100 mil. I knew my friends that watch Premier League held him in a very high regard. And holy shit did he exceed those expectations thus far.

    Honestly i think apart from goalscoring he seems to be the leader in the group and with youngsters like Jamal and tel its important

      That duo with Tel is such a dream for us, Tel can’t have a better guy as his leader in every way, personal and on the pitch.

      Yeah he has absolutely clicked with Tel. Seems like anytime Tel scores, the first person to him with the biggest smile is Harry.

    Expected him to score a lot of goals.

    Checked off that box easily. In addition he brings great playmaking ability. Only negatives I’ve noticed so far is his speed (which he was never known for) and the lack of pressing up front but that might also be on Tuchel’s system

      Probably the system. Harry Kane usually has really good work rate, but he’s also been relegated to terrorist ball for the past 3 something years since poch got sacked.

      I kind of like that he’s not that fast, he isn’t depending on his speed which will drop over the next few years, he definitely has some years left at his level

      If he was fast he may not have developed his reading of the game so much.

      Klinsmann said Sheringham was the most intelligent strike partner he played with. Sheringham attributes his intelligence to his slow speed. He had to learn to be clever because was slow.

    I had him marked as a really good, far ranging striker and wasn’t disappointed so far, quite the opposite.
    What I was in no way prepared for was his leadership skills, his football IQ and his skills on the ball when he drops into midfield. - I’m kinda wowed by this. It’s also really crazy to think that he didn’t move beyond Tottenham so far… i’m sure he could have had a far bigger career in terms of successes/trophies.

      It would have been crazy if he stayed with us until retirement. You don’t really see that anymore however I feel like we should be thankful for the years we actually got with him. Tottenham would have probably finished lower mid table without him last year at best.

    his scoring ability is known to everyone but what i also noticed is how he’s not selfish at all… he loves passing and assisting, he clicked with sane and muller immediately, it’s impressive

    once his family moves in here and he gets even more comfortable i think it will be even better, because it’s not like we depend only on him right now

    I had high expectations and he even topped them. Seems to be an incredible nice guy and I personally never saw a more clinical finish at Bayern, almost like a laser pointer or sth. like that. How he use his body while preparing the shot, the defenders have no chance and you just know, that he will score in the next moment. Robert was incredible for years and he had other strengths, but this quality in shooting on target, always right next to the post 👌🏻 Just incredible to watch. He also could be a great midfielder I think. He just gives so much to the team, also as a leader on the pitch. I really enjoy watching him and I am a little bit afraid that we might play against him next year in germany, If he keeps his form (Euro 2024)😆

      He’s on record saying that he feels comfortable playing as a 10 because that’s what he played in the youth setups before he became a striker. He’s a great mixture between midfield playmaker and strike- very versatile footballer.

    I was hoping he would be a great scorer for the price we paid.

    But we got even more. Dude feels like he is super likeable, he works for the team and helps others to get chances and biggest plus: It feels like he is not trying to bait fouls, instead he always tries to get back up on his feet and score.

    Actually, I was telling my brother a year ago that Bayern should buy Kane. We’ve been struggling without a proper 9 and I knew Kane would fit our team superbly. I like the spurs and watch the prem so I knew what he was capable of. I knew he was getting slanted often by the English community for not winning trophies so I always thought Bayern would be a great fit for him. I was right.

    I still think there’s a lot of improvement left once the team really has build chemistry and is in a flow for a longer period of time too but we’re getting there with a team on one leg.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, I’m quite pleased with how Harry Kane has been preforming. It’s a breath of fresh air to see English players living up to the hype I hope Harry Kane wins a Champions League or a trophy with England he really deserves it.

    I was expecting 25-30 goals

    Now I’m not so sure Lewys record can stand for a long time as long as Kane is here and getting better
