Daniel Sturridge - 2020

[Lario]

I really feel for him. In terms of natural talent, he’s far ahead of Firmino IMO. His body just doesn’t hold up. Must be really frustrating for him.

Incorrect.

[Captain]

Got bored with Lovren/ Maguire/Matip? Absolute nonesense. Firmino is a gem of a player and naturally talented to boot.

I wouldn't worry, he's been cheering Sturridge for the last couple of years.

This is gonna be the #SeasonofStudge, baby. Let's get it going.

Be great if you was right as he was fucking brilliant when on song but he's broken.

[Grinch]

This is gonna be the #SeasonofStudge, baby. Let's get it going.

Hope not. That’ll mean one of our decent forwards spends a long spell out injured and Liverpool have no success in that scenario.

Erm, no it isn't.

Erm, no it isn't.

 

Yes, it is, you big negative vagina.

Not necessarily. He could definitely make a positive difference as a substitute. A la Giroud. 

[Strontium]

He'll be injured by matchday 3. Recurrence in training when it looks like he's almost fit. Brief return followed by his usual Christmas off. Sporadic appearances until the end of the season, if we still have the patience for it and haven't bombed him out by then.

TBF that does sound like the Season of Studge.

Sadly pretty much this.

 

It beggars belief that people seem to be falling for thinking he will suddenly just put 4 years of being a waste of space behind him.

Honestly, what's bizarre is that people don't seem to understand that a 28 year old professional athlete who is playing for his last big contract is bound to absolutely bust his ass to get it. Do you know how motivation works?

 

It's possible that Sturridge is broken, but I don't really think that's the case. He's not had surgery after surgery, he gets constant niggles. Stuff that he'll now probably power through because there is the carrot in front of him. 

 

He'll be an asset this season, I'm sure of it. 

[polymerpunkah]

 

Hopefully he proves us (almost) all wrong.

He won't be getting a new contract. At the end of the season he'll be released with our thanks for his service. It will be cordial, but nothing more.

[TheHowieLama]

Playing for a contract with someone else though for sure.

 

Unfortunately if he hasn't been busting his ass (and he hasn't) the last four years it says alot about his character

[VladimirIlyich]

The cryptic messages from former and current teamates regarding Sturridge tell you everything about why he has had a career of 'what ifs.' We also loaned him out last season to a team who were relegated and he occupied the bench/treatment table in the same fashion he did previously here.

[Aventus]

 

 

He'll be an asset this season, I'm sure of it.

 

Fuck it, if he puts in a ton of graft for selfish reasons then I'm happy, and this is probably the best season for him to do so.

 

If we end up with number 19 partly because he was chasing one big payday then I'm happy for him to do so, and I hope he gets his big payday.

Somewhere else hopefully.

You know what i hope you are right....i very much doubt you are but i hope you are.

 

There is another discussion though to be had though then about where the fuck has his motivation been the last 4 years - you know to play for his 150k a week wage...to power on.

 

His massive wages should have been enough of a carrot...not to mention professional pride.

 

I'd actually prefer it if he was actually broken rather than just not being arsed these last few years.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

He won't be getting a new contract. At the end of the season he'll be released with our thanks for his service. It will be cordial, but nothing more.

 

We could at least send him off with a proper drink.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Hope he, and all the rest of the players, play shit and get beat.

[kemskem]

I vaguely remember how disappointing Mark Wright was after his big transfer fee and his high wages but then he came back from the fringes and was class for a period. It might not be the best comparison but I didn't give a toss about what he'd done before, at the time.

[magicrat]

I think we're pissing into the wind if we think we will get anything more than a few half decent cameos out of the massive fanny,.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

So he will suddenly play through the niggles for a contract here or elsewhere. Been nice if the dear chap could have done that sooner instead of warming the treatment table. Fucking selfish tart.
