@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.
@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.
