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.

Kane is a world class forward. As an Arsenal fan it is even harder to digest that Spurs got kane while we got Eddie chamakh Welbeck etc xD. Jokes aside , him and son really dominated the league and were way way beyond the levels of Spurs and ideally should have moved to bigger better organized teams But kudos to both for playing a majority of their prime for one club

I am sure kane at liverpool or city would have reached 300 goals in the premier league. He's a playmaker and a worldie finisher.

Bayern are a great team and Bundesliga is a farmers league. Kane plowing there defense or being goalless for Bayern wouldn't have made a difference. We saw how difficult it is for players to come from that league and settle into the Bundesliga same with french league. Every time Bayern is beaten in Bundesliga the opposition celebrate it as a moment in history , because it's almost a given that Bayern are going to get 80-90 points seasons every season!. In the premier league even if city are the winners , teams like Aston villa Brentford etc can still get the better if them and it's just another week.

The mean quality of teams in premier league is a cut above the rest.

Tldr kane is world class and Bundesliga is a farmers league, these two things can co exist
