I work at Blackburn Rovers so have seen him all this season.... Well I've actually barely seen him because he never gets a game. Overweight in pre-season, couldn't stay fit, injured every game, poor footballer in general and I don't think he's even bothered one bit. Not happy with this at all. But other than that…..😂😂 I can't even sugar-coat it. He couldn't get a look in and Rovers haven't had a striker all season.

This must be a free transfer I hope! You'd think it'd be our old friend "undisclosed" But doubtful they'll give a 24yo under contract for 3.5 seasons away for nothing? There was a bit of competition for him as a free in the summer. Hopefully considerably less than a mill though, if we ever find out? They're in massive debt and need all the cash they can get even with the Wharton deal bringing them in 20mill, I'd imagine most of it goes straight to the venkys to pocket.

A far better manager in Cooper becomes available and here we are pissing about with this risky manager who wasn’t having much luck at a smaller club. Cooper would’ve been fantastic! Feel like we’ve fucked it again. Do you really and honestly think Cooper would have looked once let alone twice at us? He'll be a shoe in for the next lower Prem gig. Somewhere like Palace when they discover that Woy has actually been dead for the last 6 months. Why not? Honestly.

Really, great, so he complains they haven't learnt and wanted Mowbray 😂 Struggling to understand what's so funny about that? He's an experienced manager that saved Blackburn from the brink of collapse, he's well respected and he will definitely push us up the league which is the most important thing.

We're not a in a position to be doing what we're doing now, it's piss poor decision making and it's not a surprise because it's been that way for a while now. So who would you have had then? Mowbray as I said above

Massive risk. Do the Coates family ever learn? So boring honestly. I think this is going to end badly. Would you have preferred tried and tested, been around the block, same old same old?

Too many. It really is like a library. Sometimes you wouldn't even think a game is on it is THAT quiet. I’ve only ever seen 3 things at Ewood Park and that’s grey clouds, rain and 3 points for Stoke. Oh I was at the FA Cup Valentines Day Massacre actually. And the 3-0 loss in the yellow shirts. But the grey clouds and rain are always a constant. Sounds about right! Had to bite my tongue last season when we scored and then won. It's been quite warm recently, won't last long though!

The only time I get to watch Stoke now is when they come to Ewood park since I work there. Plenty of empty seats there Too many. It really is like a library. Sometimes you wouldn't even think a game is on it is THAT quiet.

But isn't that because the league changed? I don't really get your argument, the premier league is still the division 1 of English football no matter how many times they change the name. All records should be from when it started or where the data started to be collected. The Carabao cup is still the league cup and that changes its name all the time but the records stand. They just like to be selective with their statistics. I do agree with it, but it's not always so black and white. Things can change with leagues regarding rules etc hence why it's the "Premier league top scorer" not the all time top flight scorer. Either way the current record even if it is morally right or whatever... I still wish that Kane stayed just to knock Shearer of his perch.

I know what you're saying and yeah it is kind of unfair that records are deleted or overlooked. I guess there's a reason to that which I can't explain, but to just be able to say you're the highest scoring player in "Premier League" history surely would be a better thing to tell the grandkids rather than "I went to Bayern Munich and won the league there" I guess it's just a personal preference thing, if he wants to win trophies and that's ultimately his only goal then it's a better choice than Spurs, just a shame he has to go to Germany to try and win something. Understood. Imagine Shearer being gutted when he can't tell his Grandkids about his record because the league got renamed the Super Duper League and the all time record goalscorer in that league was Callum Wilson. Yeah I guess it's just the way it is when leagues are changed or whatever, even if it is still the top flight of English Football. It's probably impacted me in a certain way because it's always been a topic heavily talked about amongst friends and even at work so I've always been hoping that Kane would smash that record.

It's a Premier League record hence why the records are from the Premier League or Shearer would've been on 280+ I get what you're saying, but the record is what it is and there's no bullshit about it if we're talking just the Premier League right? I suppose we're splitting hairs at the end of the day. If we said Shearer is the record goalscorer since 1992. That would be equally as accurate and wouldn't mislead anyone. Doesn't sound as good though does it?! I know what you're saying and yeah it is kind of unfair that records are deleted or overlooked.

Well it's a personal opinion, but I do feel like people would talk more about a league top scorer than just winning a bundesliga title. If he goes and wins the Champions League fair enough, but I just felt like it was the wrong move for him at this time. I agree with your point on the prestige about being the top scorers. Greaves proves that point I suppose as on his death this was the main point made rather than what he had won. However, that's us. What about the players themselves? Greaves wanted to be in that first 11 in the World Cup Final more than any record goals total. I bet Shearer wouldn't swap his Premier League winners medal for another 100 Newcastle goals. Kane has won fuck all. A bundesliga winners medal would mean alot to him. And we both agree that a Champions League winners medal would definitely be worth it. How many teams have a realistic chance of winners the Champions League right now? Not many, but Bayern are one of them. Are they really a team to be considered though? Tuchel hasn't started that well. I can't really see them winning it, but as you said it's still a chance at that is appealing to most players. I just wish that he went to City when he had that chance last season. Or 2 seasons ago it was? I can't remember.

But isn't that because the league changed? No. The name changed. It was, and is still, the top flight of English football. Who administers the league, which TV stations show it and what it is called is irrelevant. I hope you'd feel the same as me if these 3 things change again in the future. It will still be the to division in English football. It's a Premier League record hence why the records are from the Premier League or Shearer would've been on 280+ I get what you're saying, but the record is what it is and there's no bullshit about it if we're talking just the Premier League right?

Yeah personally. Couldn't give a toss if xyz played for Bayern, there's only ever one league top scorer. Oh, I thought you were saying that’s what people remember generally, rather than just you personally, apologies. I think players want to win things and credit to Kane for going for a different experience late in his career. Don’t think beating Shearer’s pretend record is worth stopping for myself. Well it's a personal opinion, but I do feel like people would talk more about a league top scorer than just winning a bundesliga title.

Disagree massively. There was more to prove at Tottenham. Going to Bayern is the easy route. What could he do at Spurs? He can score 30 goals but Spurs have got zero chance of finishing in the top 4 with the money that is being pumped into 6 other teams. They will do well to finish 7th with or without him. Zero chance is a bit harsh. With Maddison and Kane they could've reigned a partnership like he had with Son who seems to be falling off massively.

Winning the Bundesliga is not exactly a feat of strength when you play for Bayern Munich. After last nights showing I don't think the manager will even be around long enough for them to prepare for winning a Champions Leauge. Sure money is great, but when you've earned as much as him in your career then maybe it's a bit silly to go to a club at the peak of your powers because of that and the fact it's a nice stadium? (New Spurs stadium is better) Alan Shearers record is talked about more than the Bundesliga. Call it a "bullshit fake record" (which it isn't) but it's a far superior achievement than winning the league with Bayern. I agree that winning the league wouldn't be a great feat at Bayern. But is it a better feat than finishing 8th with Spurs... And yes, it is a bullshit record. Shearer is the 4th all time highest scorer in the top flight in England. Kane is 19th I believe. If you think it's okay to reset the clock on records whenever you fancy it then Shearer's "record" will simply be deleted at that time. I bey Greaves thought his record would be hard to beat, I doubt he imagined it would be deleted. But isn't that because the league changed?

Bayern look crap. Maybe no trophy for Kane after all. I still don't know why he went to Bayern, such a strange transfer. 2-0 Leipzig. He's joining a team that have been in three Champions League quarter-finals in the last three seasons, and they will be pretty disappointed that they haven't gone further in that time. He's leaving a team that have been in three Champions League/European Cup quarter-finals since the inception of the European Cup in 1955. I've seen a few people bemused that he would leave Spurs for Bayern Munich, and I can't get my head around it. Measure the two teams by almost any marker that has any value in football (whether on or off the pitch) and Bayern are head and shoulders above Spurs. Nobody is saying that Bayern aren't a bigger club. It's just funny how when it comes to Harry Kane loyalty is never appreciated but stories of other players like Del Piero... Well "They don't make them like him anymore unfortunately!" Bayern is a bigger club, without question. But with Kanes circumstances it is surely the wrong club at this time.

Not much I’d imagine and it’s barely spoken about here and mainly is because he’s on the BBC and brings it up every two seconds. To be acknowledge as the leading goalscorer of any top league though surely is better than a league title?

It's a great move for him. Much though I love Matt le tissier, one of the most talented players, I have ever seen. He has shown he is not a Matt le tissier type, happy being the star player of a mediocre bunch, for his entire career. He's a David Beckham type, who is going to go to a massive club in a foreign country and show everyone, he is one of the world's best footballers . Would have literally been paid millions if he had stayed on easy street at Tottenham. But is going to go and prove himself, all over again, at the highest level. Good on him . Well done Harry. Disagree massively. There was more to prove at Tottenham. Going to Bayern is the easy route.

I don't understand the confusion as to why he'd go to a massive European giant who will win trophies and possibly the biggest trophy in Europe too. Great money, great stadium, great teammates. Oh, he might not be able to break a record that is a bullshit fake record in the first place. Winning the Bundesliga is not exactly a feat of strength when you play for Bayern Munich.
