Daniel Sturridge-2015

[Section_31]

He might just have a smelly arse like that manc player from a couple of years back, the Scottish lad.

[an tha]

I make Didi right.

 

Didn't Sturridge report an injury recently but scans showed nothing..

 

And now we just hear 'a little problem' 'a break in training' etc.

 

For me we should be told what he is out with and why.

[Oh Buoy]

Maybe his legs have fallen off?

[waddy78]

He's just arsing around.....

 

 

there's nothing wrong with him.

[Baltar]

It's so bizarre. Wouldn't shock me if Sturridge announced he's retiring so he can undergo a gender transition and become the woman he dreamed of being since he was a little boy.

He's already a fucking big Girl now.

[suzy]

It's all really really strange and I never even think anymore if he'll be playing or not. Klopp always seems bored when journos ask about him. In fact some weeks the journos don't even bother to ask about him!

[lebron]

His muscles are fucked, and with them his confidence. He'll never get back on the pitch for us (in a meaningful state anyway). If someone wants to buy him, I'd let him go. If he can't handle working out on the pitch on his own for consecutive days after we've used all the expertise available both in the US and UK, he's finished. the rigours on the body are so extreme now that you'll need (especially as a striker) to be 100 pct to have an impact.

As speculation goes, it's as plausible as anything else we've heard.  It would also explain the reticence to discuss detail.  Klopp can hardly come out and say his new flaps are chafing and the New Balance technicians are working on an aloe-injected gusset.

[TheHowieLama]

Match fixing or Sturridge in sex change --- ehhh.

 

Too close to call tbh.

Yeah, I'm all for selling hiim, but not at any price.  Some of the prices being discussed online are ridiculous.  Today the papers are saying West Ham are going to make a bid of 18m.  18m?  That's the going rate of an Andy Carroll these days.  

 

We're still talking about the best English striker, in the prime of his career.  Sure, the fact that he's injured all the time brings his price down, but it brings it down from the 45m it would be if he had a good fitness record to around 30m.  

 

Look at it this way - even if he only plays 15 league goals a season, half of those off the bench, he probably still scores 8-10 goals.  You'd struggle to find a consistent 10 league goals/season player for 18m anywhere, and Sturridge is even better because at least while he's injured you can play another player in his place.

 

If we let him go for less than 25m we are absolute mugs.  30m, even.  I wouldn't mind him being sold but only for that kind of money.

I have a feeling you're going to be hugely disappointed when we sell him for £12m.

 

To be honest, I won't be. At this stage its beyond farcical and we need to get what we can for him, get him off the books, and go get a top class striker who isn't scared of his shadow.

[Evelyn Tentions]

Start fining the cunt for failure to to turn up for training. Might start making a change to his attitude if it's his hip pocket nerve that he gets twinges in.

[diamondjoe]

I've forgotten what he looks like.

The wages are the issue.. At £150k a week (£7.8m a year) and 15 league games a season that would be around £500k a game or £780k a goal (10 goals a season).

[navbasi]

I've forgotten what he looks like.

 

On a side note.. It was 37 weeks ago since he had that hip operation in the States.

[xerxes]

Yeah, I'm all for selling hiim, but not at any price.

Currently we are looking at a £27m odd wage liability on his contract with a negligible sell on value at the end of it. So any price, may be very good value.

 

I accept he could come good, but he might not. Statistically when you look at his age, and his playing record, the omens are ominous.

 

One thing is for certain, and that is that Klopp cannot plan LFC's future assuming he will be available for us.

[Frankenhooker]

I'm not sure he even likes the game, I can't see him suddenly becoming consistently fit whether that's here or elsewhere, he just doesn't seem interested.

 

I'd sell for anything around the £20m mark, perhaps a touch lower.

[diamondjoe]

 

Munchausen's syndrome

 

[stringvest]

I would absolutely sell him if we could this January.  It would at least indicate that we are not going to be fucked about any more.

[El Rojo]

Hard to make an argument that selling him at this stage will have any negative effect on an already diabolical striking situation, given that he never actually plays.

 

I can't see another club spending money on him, though.

[Strontium]

Munchausen's syndrome

 

Given the tall tales that emanate from his camp, more like Baron Munchausen's syndrome.

[magicrat]

I've forgotten what he looks like.

sort of yellow coloured

[Dr. J]

There's nothing wrong with him. He won't play until he's sold or the January transfer window shuts. If the club calls him a malingerer publicly, his price drops to nothing; other clubs know if he's really injured or not.

 

Sell him at any price - he's a cancer at the club.

[Lario]

Our medical wouldn't allow us sign Loic Remy for pittance because his heart seemed weird, and yet we're wondering if someone will throw £20m at us for someone that literally can't train 2 days in a row?
