The gamble is that Haaland stays at City and beats it 4 years after Kane sets the record. Then you'd take the league title wouldn't you.
To think he shouldn't go after trophies after all he's done seems weird to me.
I guess none. But if you're front and centre, playing most of the games it's different to being a sub that never came on.
If I was Harry Kane I would want the Premier League scoring record. But I'm neither a footballer nor any kind of team player.
Fully understand Levy wanting Kane to stay at Spurs - But equally he can't afford for Kane to walk away on a freebie in 12 months time - But can I assume Levy has told Kane that there is no way he will sell him to Man U
Would any player ever - EVER - have all 3 records again? Can't see it ...
Balance that achievement against winning a couple of cups in Germany.
(Not sure that Bayern are the force that they were a couple of seasons ago, so don't think that they'll win CL.)
None of us know his motivations, so we're all guessing. But that's what his choice comes down to.
The other one i can think of is Leon Osman, he was at Everton for 16 seasons. There are actually lots of Everton players too in the era post Joe Royal and their FA cup win and won nothing. Oh, and Nolan at West Ham as well?
What about Rob Lee at Newcastle? 10 years, won nothing.
Kane isn't going to be forgotten if he doesn't beat Shearer's record, but he could retire as 3rd top PL scorer behind Haaland & Shearer in 10 years
He'll end up with cupboards full of trinkets, but no long-term records.

I didn't mean long-standing records, I meant records like Kane's that would require long-term commitment to a club / league.
It's pretty obvious that Haaland, playing for ManC, will break plenty of "in a season" type records.
"I want to make 500 league appearance for Derby County!" I can't imagine any 8 year old saying that or an 18 year old for that matter.
Personally I'd prefer to be the English all time top goalscorer than win a few medals with a German team, but at the end of the day it is his choice. I'd prefer to see him stay in the Prem but it is looking unlikely.
Good for Spurs - Levy knows we are stupid enough to pay more than anyone else. Not selling him and seeing him leave for free next season is financially crackers.
Good for Kane - stays in the PL. Gets a chance to break dreary Shearer's record. Plus he is exactly what United need - fans know this and he'd be an instant hero. Plus he'd obviously be happy with a move to Manchester as shown be his angling to join city previously.
Good for United - the lack of striking cover has been an issue for years.
Looks like the Bayern deal is close to done though. When Fabrizio Romano talks about a deal, you know it is happening....
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
In twenty years time when we're talking about the great strikers of the past he'll be a footnote and nowhere near the centre of the conversation.
Jeder, der ihn kaufen würde, wäre dumm.
(It can't hurt, right?)
I think that he would get into any team in the world and even with Haaland at Man City, I think Kane could start ahead of him and he'd score more goals than Haaland, or Pep would just figure out a system for both of them and they'd be a super pairing like we used to have in the 90's (SAS, RAF, Cole &, Yorke).
The only question for me is whether he can actually pull it off in the most demanding of games, seeing as he went missing in the CL final and missed a penalty against France last year, but... I think that's reaching really.
If he wins nothing and doesn't break the record then he may well be talked about like that, although I don't think so as he's England's top goalscorer, but that may mean he is ignored outside of the UK. But if he wins some stuff and/or breaks that record I think that will silence the doubters.
I think he's as good as anyone in the world in that position/role.
Time added on in the EFL will now be exactly that of time lost - As per the recent World Cup - Be it injury, goal celebration, substitutions, red cards, penalties etc - The clock will stop and start as required - So not a pre-determined amount of time that never bears resemblance to the 'delay'
Other issues includes - In addition, to aid the new time keeping approach, players who require assessment on the pitch for a potential injury will be required to receive treatment off the pitch, unless:
When play restarts a player will not be allowed to re-enter the pitch for a minimum of 30 seconds, under the new rules.
And in circumstances where a player declines help from a physio, if a team-mate clearly delays or refuses to re-start the game, that team-mate will be given a yellow card. The EFL says this will "promote player safety" and act as a deterrent to players who request attention as a tactic to waste time or break the momentum of the game.
No towels to dry the ball for a throw in
Points deductions for financial fair play issues - Has any PL ever seen this other than Portsmouth and I recall by then they were already in admin
Hard to bet against Man City winning the PL again - So then IMO a fight for 2nd, 3rd, 4th between Man U, LFC and Arsenal - Not sure which order they will finish - Man U should be looking for further improvements under Ten Haag - Maybe their final position, last season, was a touch faltering thanks to a poor season by LFC and Chelsea, but they certainly moved up a gear
Think Newcastle will struggle to make the top 4, as this coming season they need to compete in the CL as well, so a new challenge for them - They should still be part of an elite of 7 clubs
Spurs - You tell me - I suspect even with/without Harry, they will probably be the weakest of the top 7 elite clubs next season
Chelsea - Poch has a big challenge on his hands trying to make a team out of individuals - I think on the day they will be capable of beating any team - But don't feel they will acquire the consistency this coming season for a top 4 position - But suspect some exciting performances from them
Then who will be the Brentford, Brighton, Fulham of the last season - ie the best of the rest - Not part of the established elite but well clear of the 'survivors' last season - 2/3 years ago Wolves and West Ham were part of this mix - I expect Villa to be part of the mix this season - I can't see Villa making the top 4, but expect them to be pushing for UEFA places
Then the survival positions - Will be hard to see much difference this season compared to last season with Burnley, Luton and Sheff U joining the PL - Of the new comers I suspect Burnley will be better equipped to avoid relegation compared to Luton and probably Sheff U
Maybe a pity that the PL is kind of predictable in so many ways - As an overview, of the 38 matches, 14 will be against the elite clubs, so hard to pick up many/any points - That leaves 24 matches, against 'your competitors' to acquire around 40 points for survival
I think this season is less predictable in many ways.
I can't see Liverpool or Chelsea having such a bad season again. Villa looked very promising at times last season, ditto Brighton. Spurs can't be as bad again (yes, I'm ever hopeful, though that's obviously highly dependant on Harry ... but I've been right in my predictions re his situation thus far.
Villa/Brighton (and Brentford) demonstrated that its possible for one of the less obvious teams to get up there towards / into the top6, so there could well be someone else who does likewise next season, though I can't see an obvious candidate.
So although ManC are probably favourites, there should be a lot of strong competition if they lose a few, and certainly a lot of competition for the top4/6 places. ManC, ManU, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea probably all in with a shout for the title if they can start strongly and build some confidence, with Villa, Newcastle, Spurs, Brighton then also competing for top4/6.
Going down?
Luton are the obvious choice, but then almost any of the rest could feasibly join them. It'll be hard for Burnley and SheffU to establish themselves against the other mid-tablers (Fulham, Wolves, Bournemouth, Palace), but realistically a bad run for any of those with the loss of confidence and inevitable dumping of manager could put them in the bottom 3. And has anything changed at Everton since last season (though if Dele gets back to doing what he's capable of, that'd be their best signing in years!)?
Which leaves Forest ... who knows!
