Maybe when his suspension ends and he can officially communicate with other clubs, Levy will fuck off to the non-football side of the office.He’s still at the club. Was at the game yesterday apparently.. think he’s still quite close to levy
But wait until we have replaced Ange..If you're seeing this Daniel - do whatever it takes to sign this man!

I have 10 hits, 10 misses, 1 neutral in Bissouma. Which probably ranks Patarici about 5/10. Deki is his best signing and Richarlison the worst, for the cost the club paid.

But when you consider the current global instability the chances of decent bomb salvage are pretty good....I think he did better than most would have. Don't mind him coming back.
The main problem is that he'll always operate under the Levy glass ceiling.
And there almost always an angle to every transfer- selling team at financial risk (Johnson, Richarlison), player with some court hearing or accusations suppressing the fee (Bissouma, Aurier), sell on value (so many children signed), club getting literally bombed (Solomon), club getting relegated (Maddison), player from small club so accepts lowish wages (Solanke), some sell-on clause shenanigans to exploit (Porro). Or player is just cheap and mediocre (most of the rest).
