Surely a or b are most likely given we'd probably offer him more than Bayern?A few thoughts along this thread:
1. Too many have convinced themselves that Kane going to Germany doesn't make sense. If it doesn't make sense, then we potentially don't understand the situation. Like in chess, take the time now to prove your theory wrong. If you can't, then play the move in accordance with that theory.
2. So, how could the theory be wrong?
a. He is in his prime and does not want to waste even one more year in the uneven management of Spurs without playing at the highest competitive level (i.e., he is competitive and wants to compete now).
b. There is a personal issue with Spurs management (e.g., gentlemen's agreement) that in principle he cannot tolerate any longer.
c. He is underpaid and risks long-term injury and massive financial consequence in the last year of his contract.
d. etc., etc.
3. In my opinion, there are a lot of reasons why going to Germany makes sense to a professional footballer at the height of their career, and not to us average joes.
