'How many titles have they won?' - Bayern Munich savagely told why they aren't better off with €100m man Harry Kane despite England star's 44-goal debut season

The England captain moved to Germany last summer on a mega transfer that saw Bayern pay a club record fee of £100 million ($127m) to Tottenham. However, things did not go as planned for the Bavarian club as they failed to win a trophy this season for the first time in 12 years.

Ex-Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder Didi Hamann has raised questions about the Bundesliga giants' decision to break the bank for Kane, even though he has scored a whopping 44 goals in 45 matches across all competitions for the club.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the 50-year-old said: "How many titles have they won? Bayern scored more goals without Kane last year than they have now. He also had his price. That's a very high salary and it cost over 100 million. If [Mathys] Tel had played up front, would they necessarily be in a worse position? I don't blame him at all for it being his fault - of course not."

He went on to suggest that Bayern might have been in a similar position on the pitch had they not splashed out on Kane. He said: "But the club sold a lot of jerseys. That was the star purchase. The club would admit that it was a mistake in quotation marks - you can argue about whether it was a mistake. I would definitely ask the question internally: Are you better positioned with 100 million in the bank and him back on the island?"

The 30-year-old will be next seen in action on Saturday as Thomas Tuchel's play their final game of the season against Hoffenheim away from home.
