""If you're that desperate to win something, then do another year and then go. It's like if you go up and move to Celtic and win the league, you win every year, but there's no great achievement in that. A great achievement would have been being the top scorer ever in the Premier League. That would have been unbelievable, and he could have won things along the way.""
""Obviously he is a Premier League great and an England great as well so I'll respect him as a person. But ultimately, as he will know, everyone's career is different - everyone's decisions and motivations are different. I know he was insinuating I went just for the trophy but it was to be at the highest level for as long as possible and I'm really happy in that sense of playing big games, title runs, big Champions League matches, Club World Cup quarter-final.""
Michael Owen criticized Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich, calling the decision 'nuts' and arguing that Kane left while on the verge of becoming the Premier League's all-time top scorer and with family considerations. Owen suggested Kane should have stayed another year to chase the record, saying moving for trophies shortly after would diminish the achievement. Kane replied that everyone has different motivations, insisting the move was to play at the highest level, contest titles, and improve through big games, Champions League matches, and the Club World Cup. The exchange drew attention given Owen's own transfers to Real Madrid and Manchester United.
