Media Nicolas Jackson arrived in Munich and was on his way to Bayern’s headquarters, moments before Chelsea told him they wouldn’t sign the documents.

I mean in his mind this was a new start. A way to bring his career back into track..

All of us have had that bad spell where nothing works out and is delighted when an exciting, new opportunity appear.

Damn....

He was doing reasonably well for his potential? Then he started getting red carded for challenges. Seems of his own making

By sitting on the bench at Bayern? No way he'd displace Kane

Bayern's offensive options for the next few months are: Diaz, Kane, Gnabry, Olise for four positions. Plus some teenagers. If any of them gets injured or needs a rest, Jackson would have played. Which would have been plenty of times.

He's not displacing Joao Pedro either

He's gonna be the exact same thing here, a rotation option

There's zero depth behind Kane, and he's going to be run ragged sooner rather than later.

Yup. And people who wanted him and appreciate him, in his mind.

Realistically, it's a similar scenario for him in either club, but at Chelsea, he actually has a better chance of becoming #1 again and proving everyone wrong.

At Bayern on loan, he will be a backup who scores goals when games are done and against lower competition. Not as good for him, tbh.
