His ending about never knowing what could happen makes me feel like he will be back and end his career here.
@Typeo @ali_g I'd be shocked if Kane doesn't end up back at Spurs to finish his career. He's still got that all-time Premier League record to beat yet. Unfinished business, for sure.

@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs People seem to think he can just waltz back in 4 years, as a 35-year old, and score 48 goals before he retires. Not impossible sure, but I really don't see it happening.
I think he'll end up regretting not beating Shearer's record when he had the chance. Which is sad.
@JimBliss @Typeo @ali_g @spurs Certainly a fair point.
I guess it remains to be seen whether or not he'd go on to regret that. Can't help but think if he helped propel Bayern to a CL win and picked up that level of silverware he'd see sacrificing that record as worth it.

Will be interesting to see what Bayern want for him with 1 year left on his contract in three years. 😄
@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs If he wins the Champions League with Bayern, then the move will have been vindicated probably. I just think it's less likely they'll do that in the next 3-4 years than him breaking Shearer's record would have been if he'd stayed.
@JimBliss @TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs
Yeah I think it will be difficult. Not because of his age but because the Premier League will have moved on stylistically.
I agree. He’ll probably end up back with us, but will fall short of Shearer’s record.
While I don’t blame him for wanting to win trophies, he won’t be unique - hundreds of professional players win trophies in Europe every year.
Le Tessier is lauded, and rightly so, for being a one club man who could’ve left to more competitive teams. A good player, but not in Kane’s league.
If Kane stayed, whether he won a trophy with us or not, he would’ve achieved something special in modern football. A world class player, who could’ve played for any club of his choosing, but decided to persevere with his boyhood club and broke records instead.
Oh well.
It's all part of the plan. He goes and plays at Bayern for a year or two, nets the club £100m, which they spend on new talent. Then he starts the rumblings that he misses London and wants to come back and secure the scoring record, forcing his way back, to sign on a hometown friendly deal of £100,000/week. Kane and the new acquisitions (with Bayern's money) dominate the league and Spurs win three consecutive titles.
You heard it here first! Charlie Kane and Levy playing 4d chess.
