If I was Kane, and it was this late in the day, I would just wait one more season and pick my club. Yeah it screws Spurs over but for him it’s the most sensible option.
Yeah but, while it would be very very funny and great for us to keep him for another season, he really should've communicated his feelings better with Spurs and Bayern over the past 2 weeks if he was having doubts.

It's an absolute farce if he decides to just turn down the offer after the amount of time and energy wasted negotiating from both parties. Incredibly naive and unprofessional from Charlie Kane (unsurprisingly) but from Kane also.

Harder now, post Brexit, in terms of bringing the family over where before the rights were automatic. I've lost the rights to bring my mum over, for instance, in the new shape of Europe. But we're veering fairly off topic. It's just a really big decision with young kids... for a certain kind of person.

I agree, but it's a bit easier for people to stay if, for instance Kane or Bayern can employ them in some capacity. PA, domestic servant etc. It's still a massive decision but Kane is not an ordinary person moving aboard, he's going to be making something like half a million quid a week, that gives him options that most people do not have.

Not necessarily true though. It depends how much you’re happy to farm out to non-relatives. If your family live close and help with the kids that is hard to give up.
Not saying its not a factor.

But its nowhere near as big a factor as it is for the other 99.99% of us out there. Hes moving to germany not Australia.

Especially with reports during the week that he was happy to stay. There is no sugar coating it. The club wants Bayern's money.
I’m not sure has correct though, Kane is happy to stay but for a year. We have no idea what he has said beyond that year. So it’s to simplistic to stay the club wants Bayerns money.

If he was saying to Spurs that he will sign a new contract then i don’t think
the club would entertain any bid from any club.

Then he should have informed the club no more decisions to be made after Sunday, or at least on Monday. That's his deadline. If he did not shut it down and club is working on a fee the club is happy with, he has to be responsible now. He stays now, he should sign something to prevent us losing him next season for nothing.

And we should want the money if kanes not signing a new deal, so im glad from that side of things as gutting as it is that we lose him.

Anything could be going on

This could all be Kane PR making us feel like it was a hard decision for him.

We need to have this sorted tonight. Fucking season starts tomorrow

It's funny that Bayern fans kept saying that they would get him for free next year, no way in hell after this
IF (still a BIG if)...IF he turns them down now. I have to imagine their supporters would flip their shit if the club went back in for him, even on a free.

That is oversimplistic. You have no evidence the reports are real. Sports journalists can generally talk shit all day long because sport doesn't matter so they rarely need to provide sources to their legal department.

And the only way the club can protect itself against Kane leaving for free is either to have a cast iron guarantee that he will sign a new contract or sell him now.

A year is a long time in football.

A year ago Declan Rice would have laughed at the prospect of choosing Arsenal over Man City, yet here we are.

The club don't want to take a risk. May be sensible but I support a football club not the underlying business (which would totally survive 'losing out' on a fee for an academy player).
