Have to consider the availability factor with Richarlison. As a midfielder it is a big win if he kicks on. I went with Maddison instead

So the next deadline to pass is the one that Kane set where he said he wouldn't leave this summer if he was still here for the first game?

We need a count down timer for that.

The reason to sell Kane to Bayern isn't really about the money IMO.

It's about getting him to leave the league and not having to face him for the next 4/5 years.

That's why if I was Levy and we got a bid of over £100m I would reluctantly sell.

And getting the £100m is more to show that we won't be bullied by anyone, like Bayern have tried to bully us.

I really don’t think he’s going. Remember how Bale was frozen out, and went silent on social media.

From watching on in experience most big players usually lay low and quiet before a big move. Why would we risk playing him in a friendly for 75 minutes when he could have got injured?

On top of that he’s still very active on social media, and didn’t seem to be saying goodbye at the game. I think the majority of players would be in tears if that was his final game.

Maybe Levy got sick of Bayern’s antics and pulled the plug on the whole deal.

Question is what exactly does he want. Does he really want to go to BM.
Fairly obvious that he wants a bit of substance and evidence that we're going in the right direction under Postecoglou. Can't really tell that from a few pre-season matches. I think we're going to have to have some start to the season for him to re-consider, as by January RM and Barcelona will be telling him he's only 6 months away from them.

Had Conte extended his deal after 21/22 i'm fairly sure Kane would have followed as it looked like we were on the up. But I think the uncertainty over Conte is what would have given him pause for thought.

Problem is who's gonna be open to him next summet, United spent a fortune on Hojlund, City got Haaland, Liverpool maybe just don't see that if they have another bad season, won't go Chelsea or Arsenal, Madrid will get Mbappe next summer but possibly could get both, PSG are signing Ramos from Benfica, only really leaves Bayern or Barca, Barca can't afford him with there issues. If Bayern don't get Kane now they'll sign a new striker elsewhere so depends on who they sign gets on this season. I'm not an optimistic fan but that's how I see it next summer, I don't think he'll get the offers from where he thinks he will next season.

Except there's nothing to prove he even said that and it seems a pointless deadline to give anyway (so then again it maybe something an unskilled agent might think sounds good when he's briefing the press?). Why would the fact he might play against Brentford stop him going to BM on Monday if a deal is agreed? It's not like it's a cup-tied situation.

His wife's pregnancy is a better reason for him wanting certainty sooner rather than later, but I'm not sure how the Brentford game ties into her giving birth either. Maybe the excitement of a trip to the Community Stadium could bring her on early?

Yeah I don't think a pre-season friendly against a team that's lost it's best players to war is going to make me rush to commit my remaining peak years to a club that continuously doesn't push the boat out to yield footballing success.
It's more the change in the style of play rather than the result. Rather than the boring, defensive sitting back and just playing counter-attacking all the time we were trying to play positive, attacking football that, hopefully, might make him think again!

With respect, the idea that our decision on whether to keep a player should be based on having to play him twice a year in future is utterly bonkers
