With Liverpool now linked heavily with Barcola and Chelsea looking at Guimares, I am puzzled why we are not an attractive option to the players. I understand the financial aspects but is it our playing style that is putting off these players?

Has to be a money thing. Players nowadays just want a huge bank balance. If we aren't careful, we could end up with a very disappointing transfer window, when, let's be honest, at the end of May, huge sums of money were being talked about.

We have to replace players and upgrade in certain positions. But, it is no coincidence the steroided wide boys C£ty and Chelski have caused this with Anderson and Rogers transfers. I like Liverpool, as, like us, they have done it the right way, but even they spent massively heavily last summer and finished out the top three. I said before £80 mill for Guimares is madness, as was £117 mill for Rogers, plus £130 mill for Barcola, bonkers.
Do we change the club's transfer model because C£ty and Chelski are paying silly money. Also, look at the Villa site trying to justify getting Garnacho as if that wasn't discussed during the Rogers' transfer. They talk about us with the dark arts on the pitch, but others are very dark in the boardroom. Should we join them, is my question? Where is the moral compass? COYG.

I think we are getting a little too concerned about signings, especially when we've no idea if the club are genuinely interested.
Also, I don't rate Barcola at all, fast, yes, but beyond that looks very hit and miss.
I don't suspect we were in for Rogers either, as not a position we needed to cover.

Hey Stoner, buddy.
Long time no see.
