The Bayern Munich Courier

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Harry Kane is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.90 with 22 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

15 days out for Frank Hahn after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bayern Munich will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

Bayern Munich cannot stop winning

9 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Bayern Munich walk away from Alessandro Bastoni

$51.1M was the most the club would pay and Inter were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market

Kasper Høgh arrives at Bayern Munich in a $29.8M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Bayern Munich have paid $29.8M for Kasper Høgh, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Match

Bayern Munich tear Köln apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against Köln, and it could have been more.

Market

As if he never left: Frans Krätzig returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Frans Krätzig is a Bayern Munich player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Player ratings

Harry Kane scores twice — 9.54

Two goals and a mark of 9.54 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Frans Krätzig arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Frans Krätzig has, at Bayern Munich, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

In brief
