Does anyone agree with my suspicions that since Farhad Moshiri (who I have the utmost respect btw ) arrived along with his financial 'leg up' the transfer pecking order, we as a premier league club seem to be to some players out there a footballers 'Gravy Train?

No.
We’ve got some players who are hit and miss but wouldn’t say any of them on the gravy train.
Who did you have in mind?

Most of them tbh and I'm not talking about one or 2 matches this has been the case for a while, players who are ''hit and miss'' is the problem actually,
those that don't put in a shift regularly enough well I want to know why? it is 'hit and miss' at this level on these wages that does not cut it for me as a matter of fact.

There probably is some that were here for the payout and I feel we have paid over the odds on some players, which means currently we have some players who could be viewed as being on inflated contracts and that is what Brands was brought in for to clear the decks and build the long term plan for a more sustainable club as we can’t compete with the draw the big boys offer for those established stars, who are lured with European football which meant we had to let the money do the talking
These next few years is where I feel we will start to see improvements, more Godfrey’s and Digne’s with hunger and desire, will still be a few who don’t make the grade.

Blue 247,
Would be like us going from being a porter to chairman of the board. Were not good enough to do the job, but if someone is going to offer us silly money to do it for three years then we will take it. That's all half of these buggers are doing mate.

Whenever a particular club comes into money, it's inevitable that the mercenaries rear their heads. I think it's magnified more these days when they have agents doing all the dog work for them too. Not too sure if we really have any at the club, there's certainly a few that aren't good enough and need shipping out. Let's just hope we don't replace them with mercenaries!
