Great shout. Really goes to show that our biggest impediment to player recruitment is our chairman. Also why any good DoF won't join us if Levy is still overseeing negotiations for players. Daniel needs to eff off from anything and everything on the footballing side. Stick to what he is good at. Just give the DoF a budget and let them determine how to use that money.My transfer wishlist is pretty simple: a new director of football operations that pushes Levy away from the football decisions and keeps him simply on the business side of things. That Leipzig team was built by someone who left Spurs because he couldn't work under Levy.

I wouldn't bet on it. Likely to be another of those 'all but done' deals that were virtually had over the line which you'd expect to happen without much fuss the next time around but seldom does.Giroud is playing well for Chelsea at the moment so he might get a new contract, but I wonder if we'll revisit that one on a free transfer.
Upermercano certainly is an athletic bloke, ran length of the field and nearly scored, although he would be good for us I'm not sure why he would come to us as Lepzeig are probabaly better prospects atm
Worryingly it appears more & more obvious that we really do not have that many good players. Going through our squad the only ones that I think are worthy of their places are:
- Davies, Sanchez, Lo Celso, Son & Kane.
- Then you could add Ndombele, Sessegnon, Tanganga, Gedson & other youngsters as potential.
After that I would happily upgrade every other player.

I know it’s a wish list but how have you worked that one out?If Kane is sold I would like:
ST - Osimhen and Giroud
DM - Ndidi
RB - Aarons
LB - Grimaldo
If Kane stays then get rid of Giroud and replace Ndidi with Zakaria
