I really like this guy.

If we make Bayern believe that he is the reason they are not winning anything this year, we can buy him for cheap in the summer!

Nah think with the new regime coming in that's over for good now. Think if we got him this season we'd already be in top 4 mind, but not challenging.

He looks like Robin Van Persie did in 2015 at the minute, when he got into his 30s. You can see his class slipping away from him. That's a worry.

Hope I'm wrong. It would have been our luck to buy him for 100 million.

Funnily enough does he think of leaving this summer if it does all go to shit? He moved from Spurs to win trophies, if he sees Bayern struggling while he’s there then how could he really stay?

When was the last time Bayern did not win the title two years in a row? I suspect Leverkusen will get pillaged for their players and manager as soon as the summer transfer window opens.

Perfect older striker with experience to be a back up for Rasmus. :devil:

We would be top of the league if we signed him

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. :lol:

The answer to this question is of course no. The Spurs is too strong with him. Few players shake it off (Berbatov, Modric, Bale) so it's best not to linger there for too long.

People weren't slagging him off until the last 2 games. Bayern will probably overcome Lazio in the return leg, and there's every chance they'll reel in Bayer. Personally, I'd love it if they were the ones to stop City in the CL, but I'd rather they lost out to Bayer in the BL.

He'll pop up with goals in the Euros for sure and maybe this year we'll go all the way. We need a fit and on form Kane.

Kane had two chances to make a difference in big matches this week and failed to show up in any of them. Invisible....when it counts the most.
Against Leverkusen (the biggest league game of the season) on Saturday he didn't even look bothered. They took him out of the game so easily. It just seems like he doesn't have that winning monster in him that comes out when it counts the most and doesn't have that extra gear.

He was spectacular against 9 men Darmstadt though. Spectacular!

Berba doesn't belong with those bums. He was so good he even won a trophy with Spurs.

On the other hand he was probably their best player when they recently played against Stuttgart which this season is the second best team in the BL (Bayern has more individual quality obviously which is why they are ahead of them in the table, but in regard to playing a confident and dominant style they are very close to Leverkusen and far ahead of Bayern). So it's really on/off.

Watching him in yesterdays CL match v Lazio made me feel so grateful we have Höjlund. Kane looked absolutely shot! Noticed it especially when he had a clear chance in the box with a header which the Kane we know would have buried. Instead he made an effortless jump and failed to reach the ball. He's on downward curve!

Bayern's first 11 costs 700+M while Stuttgarts first 11 costs 170M (and has increased with 50M since the start of the season due to their good form)....

Tells you a lot about the power distribution of the BL. I strongly disagree Stuttgart can be considered a worthy BIG GAME opponent for Bayern (Even though Bayern let them have the ball it was a very one sided game - 3,42 vs 0,31 xG).
It's like saying Mbappe's performance against Lille this weekend shows he's a "big game player".....oh wait! He didn't play, because PSG don't need to play full strength in any domestic game, just like Bayern shouldn't need to (except maybe against Leverkusen this season and occasionally against Dortmund)

The Kane mocking on here is something I don't quite get.

He's a decent chap, isn't he? I know he played for Spurs (and Millwall) but he's never stuck me as a dick.

Lille has only two thirds of the points PSG has. Had Stuttgart won that match I mentioned they would have overtaken Bayern and would have been second at the time. It's really not comparable to PSG vs Lille. It was definitely an important match and it was a rare occasion were Bayern truly played like an underdog and only tried to pick them off on the counter (which they did excellently).

By the way comparing Stuttgart's and Bayern's squad value really doesn't tell you much about power distribution. It's not like Stuttgart is a typical top team, they finished the last two seasons as 16th and 15th.

Last night Bayern needed him at centre forward, and he was doing that thing where players do something easier, but pretend it's better for the team. He dropped deep, linked play, yadda yadda yadda. They needed him as the sharp edge up top, as Lewandowski, an equally good player, was before him. That occupies the centre halves, and allows the link-up play with Musiala Sane etc to be a little higher up the pitch, so one good piece of play and they can break the swarm of Lazio bodies around them. But he dropped deeper, linked up, made his passes, etc. Not what was needed last night.

Mouth breathing, mid-air defender shoving to cause injury, goal scoring neanderthal, yes. Dick, no.

You have to be a dick on some level to regularly do that thing where you barge into a player mid-jump so they might land on their neck.

But yeah, I don't really mind that much. Would have been great to have him here 2-3 seasons ago. From that Spurs side, I dislike Son a lot more for that shit he pulled, when McTominay lightly brushed his cheek.

Resources wise it is. Stuttgart shall have a lot of kudos for playing good football with limited money and a thin squad compared to Bayern, but it is up to Bayern with the resources they have to make sure that never becomes a "big game". If that is a big game (regardless of the league position of Stuttgart) then Bayern is doing it wrong. Bayern has 11 titles in a row after all and twice the resources of the closest competitor. BL is Bayerns to lose and the only big league game they've played this season was last weekend, where they got beaten up badly by "David". Same with PSG vs. Lille (and the rest of Ligue 1)
It was an important match don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be a very hard one (and it wasn't). The relative strenght between Bayern and Stuttgart is equivalent to City vs. Burnley in the PL when it comes to resources and squad. Ligue 1 and BL is thaaaaat unbalanced.

Ok so you distinguish between important and big games, I consider them to be the same, but that's fine for me and explains why we are discussing this:).

He's been brilliant for Bayern this year?
