Lets see if this new sporting director is actually allowed to do his job without various people shoving their respective oars in.

Should be how it is.
Play hard ball. They want him? Come and pay. If he does go, we. We need to demand top money for him. Like £75m+ kinda money.
Ridiculous amount. But if somebody wants England's #1, and at the moment arguably the best shot stopping keeper in the league, then you gotta pay.
That kind of money gets us a new keeper and a CB.

A new starting keeper, a new starting CB and a promising CM
This is exactly what I'm getting at. I know he's been great, but there is something that doubts his ability to remain dependable. I worry he is on a great streak right now, it doesn't take long for it to go back to how it was.
Even if it's not a streak, we should be looking at the keeper who is going to challenge him for the number one slot in a year or 2, and bbuying them for 1/3rd of what we sell pickford for.

I think he meant Barkley couldn't get a game at Leeds & Kane couldn't get a game at Norwch

I think that might be the reason we keep hold of Pickford & Richarlison and in the same light sell DCL.
If you look at the only teams Pickford could move too in the PL, the only one i could think of is possibly Spurs........but would he oust the captain and a keeper thats actually been very good this year in Lloris?
Arsenal have invested in Ramsdale, Chelsea have Mendy, Utd have bigger problems than GK & the 2 best clubs in the league have the 2 best goalkeepers.
Would he risk a move to Spurs were he may not start the season?
Same goes with Richarlison, would he be best being a big fish here instead of possibly being in & out of a side elsewere and risking losing his spot in the national team?
DCL has lost his England spot it seems, so he has nothing to lose, the move could invigorate him or in the case of if he moves to Arsenal, get him an automatic spot based on which club he is at
I know he’s very raw but I like that Nketiah, me. Told my mate I thought he’d tear it up at Leeds, which he didn’t, but he’s rediscovered some form and I think there’s more to come.
He’s a lively lad. A front three of him, Richy (if he stays) and Gordon would be a terror for a lot of defences.
Of course, I’m sure there are bigger clubs (including Arsenal) in for him, but I imagine he’d know he’ll get games here so that could sway it for him.

He is exactly the type of player we need, but if he is available he will go to whatever top club misses out on Declan Rice.
Of the players who do get minutes when fit, I'd sell these.
Keane - Truly awful
DCL - Need a footballer not a wannabe male model
Coleman - Should have been replaced a long time ago
Kenny - Not good enough
Rondon - Not good enough
Mina - Injuries
I would have had Iwobi but he's changed my mind and shown a real fight in him.
Need some major changes and show some faith with the manager.

Not meaning to have a pop at you directly here but I just don't get this train of thought. I think it's the right time to sell DCL because I agree with @Eggs assessment that muscle injuries like he has could be a massive issue for him going forward. I don't care if he goes to male strip clubs or snorts coke off a womans butt in his own time, I solely care about what he does on the pitch. If he wants to wear a skirt for a fashion shoot, ok, that's weird but whatever. I'm pretty sure everyone has something that others would look as being a bit "odd". I guess he's just saying he's comfortable in his own skin.

Theres risk in both selling and keeping DCL.
Batshuayi i dont think is good enougb
Nketiah isnt someone who will take us forward
Brereton Diaz has a year club option
Townsend has a long term injury so wont go
Not sure why Dele would go
Keane needs to go at all costs
Mina should be seen as a 'bonus' player if he stays...we need a full suite of centre backs + hes an additional bonus as rarely fit.
Weve got Patterson so no need for Lamptey.
Abraham and Tomori are loving life at Milan and Roma...they would also cost massive money.
…from what I understand, Kenny’s contract is up so it shouldn’t be a matter of ‘selling’ him. Beckham was a decent footballer who did a bit of male modelling, so I wouldn’t equate the two professions.
To be fair I was probably being a little over the top with DCL. I also forgot to add Tom Davies as he's just never kicked on
