Good post.
Fascinating hearing the raw emotions from someone whose opinion I respect and clearly is well within his right to speak on the subject. Also fair play for admitting at the beginning that what you’re about to say may seem bitter and contradictory, refreshing to see someone admit that there may be flaws in their perspective, as opposed to the generic arrogant perspective you’d expect in this scenario.
The only thing I really disagree on is the bit about nobody’s opinion on him changing because he’s going to win in Germany. Yeah they’ll win the league without him, but he is the type of player who can be the difference in winning the champions league(yes they can beat city and Madrid with Kane - much less of a chance without him).
From a legacy perspective, when we or him look back on his career - winning trophies and settings records with the best team in Germany and one of the best teams in the world, will only add to his fantastic career, and I’d argue it does for more his legacy than winning zero trophies and just setting the Premier league goal scoring record.
I also think he will return to the Premier League after he’s won the Champions League and multiple other trophies, in his mid thirties to try and break that coveted record of Shearers.
