This is the most frustrating aspect of all for me
If the window ends without a forward (which obviously it will now) but the club briefs that they will make it the priority to get a goal scorer in the summer, then I can accept it
But I know it’ll get to June and we will start targeting defenders and midfielders again. I can’t work out why the club is so blind to the need for goalscorers
Thank God it looks like we've learnt. I remember us paying like £5m for a 6 month loan for that random striker we signed under Ole and the crazy amount we spent on Amrabat.
This is genuinely nuts, he's got 0 goals in 14 matches. What on earth are spurs thinking?!
I do not struggle to understand the obligation stuff. But.
As I understand United offered loan without obligation. It got rejected as we wanted a simple loan which Bayern accepted from Spurs side.
This is the part I do not understand and is confusing. Especially Tel's previously rejecting Spurs.
You think not agreeing to spend £8m on a 6 month loan for a player who's got 0 goals in 14 matches is penny pinching?
Looks like we're entering the football transfer equivalent of closing hours at the night club. Desperate to pull someone clouding our judgement.
No obviously not.
If he was a world class prospect Bayern wouldn’t be so desperate to sell him
Might be an dumb expression. I am not so sure it’s a wise move to go for a young inexperienced player right now when we need someone to score goals. Obviously he is going to kill it in the Premier League with me saying this and score a couple goals against us.
They way I understand the situation, you wanted an option to buy. But even if you didn’t and a straight loan would have been ok with you, Tel might still have considered Spurs to be the better option in such a case. He only rejected a permanent move to them, not a loan.
Hahaha, I feel that! I was born in Hamburg but grew up supporting Bayern. And that at a time when HSV was actually the better team. You don't pick clubs, they pick you.
Like with Kroos and Gravenberch.
You weren't exactly desperate to sell Kroos. But neither are you to sell Tel, just Spurs being absolute idiots with that 60m offer
That's the impression I get. They are clearly worried that we won't trigger the option of were anyway.
This is the part where all the confusion stems from.
The German media reports that United offered to loan him with an option to buy. Which makes sense for United but not for Bayern.
Bayern wanted either a straight loan or a loan + obligation to buy. Spurs offered both of those.
£8 million for not even 6 months is arguably worse (if true)
£8m loan fee wow 
I know. I just find this notion weird that we only sell players that immediately implode the second they arrive at their new clubs. We’ve been wrong as often as the next club.
No doubt, it's a disaster of a deal. Spurs are proper clowns in this whole 'saga'
Properly run club would try and hijack like Chelsea did famously with Willian. Nah INEOS happy to suffer until the summer just to save money.
When you put it like that is crazy we are even looking at this guy in the first place. I know, lets solve our problem of non scoring strikers by loaning another one who also can't score.
What's the definition of insanity again....
Proper club would point and laugh at Spurs
This is probably true. Annoying to miss out on an option up top given our current state, but there's probably more chance of him crumbling under the pressure of Utd than anything else.
Like it or lump it, there are some positions a club like ours has to buy ready made, top of the list options for. Strikers are just that, it's always been the case. We've never had a successful period without them.
Fair enough.
Makes sense for Bayern.
Levy needed to be put in his place after the Kane negotiations. Good to see we accomplished that. Wannabe tough guy negotiater.
Sadly not in a position to do that, ah well thread will be locked tonight. We can then see him score his first league goal against us on Feb 16.
Thanks for explaining this more in detail.
Probably makes sense.
Don't appreciate much Bayern does, but you've done the lord's work here
I have not followed the development but why is he now joining the same club on loan that already made a concrete and pretty decent purchase proposal? Weird one
You're talking like this guy is going to come in and start knocking them in the back of the net.....have you seen his record? It's not better than Hojlund or Zirkzee. 12 goals in 60 games.
Persuaded over zoom call apparently
Last scored in May
He wants to make it at Bayern. Therefore he doesn't want a permanent move to Spurs.
Earlier in the window Eintract Frankfurt were going to get him on loan with no option. There is absolutely zero chance that they were going to pony up 8m for the privilege of basically four months.
Spurs changed everything by offering 60m. At that point Bayern saw dollar signs and thought lets double our money on a guy who we would prefer to be rid of anyway.
Levy isn't a mug. I'm assuming the reason it's 8m loan fee is that there is some sort of verbal agreement that they will buy him for 52m in the summer. As we saw in another thread, if there is an obligation to buy then from a PSR perspective that actually applies from the start of the loan.
and there are people genuinely disappointed we aren't signing him?
All joking about Spurs aside, Kane must have been in his ear how reluctant Levy is to sell a player that wants out
Loan fee aside am a little bit fecked off over this!
8M for a player they were going to play 30 minutes in 6 months is an amazing deal for Bayern.
It's crazy, I know. Loan with option would've been fine, but Bayern understandably weren't having it
Mate, as of now, Tel doesn't want a transfer to Spurs.
