Morning Eds
Do you think our failure to get champions league or European football will hinder our chances of getting Klopps main targets or do u see it as a blessing in disguise in that players that do come in are doing so because they believe in Klopps vision for the club, what he expects from them (100 % commitment ) and not for major financial gain like most modern day football mercenaries .
Cheers Ed great site .

Have to admit as long as we don't go shopping at Southampton and don't go after Keiron Gibbs, that would be partially successful summer.

If we still had Rodgers in charge then I would say we would be at a big disadvantage with no CL football.

With klopp at the helm though i'd imagine he has a big enough pull to get players with no CL football.

When players say they want CL football I interpret that as the player wants as high a wages as possible.

{Ed002's Note - No, they want to play at the highest level in the European game.}

At least we know the players transferring into Liverpool this summer are coming here to play for Reasons other than euro football, money most probably, a stepping stone to more money also likely, but we can at least all hope they are coming here because of the lure of our great club or the lure of such a charismatic manager.

Majority of the young players see Liverpool as a step over to Barcelona or Real etc. there is no shame in accepting it. Not sure about Klopp's pulling power as he is struggling to keep hold of Coutinho as well couldn't pull Gotze ( A super name ) to the club. It's an awful mentality to categorize players as mercenaries who refuse to join us. There might be plenty of reasons for any kind of rejection.

Sorry but a large proportion of players just want the money.

Delph to city went for money not CL football, teixeria went to china for money the list goes on.

The pull of the premier league is due to the high wages paid.

If I am right, Liverpool has the 5th highest wage bill in the league and are the top spenders from past 3 years. Some of our players, In fact majority are on very high wages. CL and past records are a real concern for a player who has 4-5 years of top flight football left in their career.
