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.

        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.

    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.

    I was happy he is joining but I thought we were overpaying… but I am so happy to be stand corrected

    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.

    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 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.

    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’ve watched enough of him over the years to know that he was a damn good player, even though he didn’t always look the part. I did not know that he would be THIS good. Bayern is the perfect fit for what he does. He’s got in seamlessly on the pitch and, more importantly, in the locker room as well.

    Honestly, I would’ve been happy with 25-30 goals and 10 assists in all comps for a first season. I knew he was elite and he’s still exceeding expectations.

    I thought he was going to do okay, because Lewy set the bar very high for everyone else. Turns out he might be surpassing him and even winning the Ballond’or. He should’ve been here way before Mane that was a mistake.

    Not just a goal scorer. He turns his teammates into beasts (as long as they can make proper runs).

    I thought he could put up Lewy numbers, he was very underrated last year and carried a very mid Tottenham team

    I always knew he was like no other strikers. Things he can do are shocking. He can literally play as a 10 if he wanted. That’s the kind of quality of he posses as a playmaker while being a striker
