Daniel Sturridge - 2020

[Numero Veinticinco]

Stop being so negative, fannies.

[BCM]

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. 

 

There is no way Liverpool will give him a new deal,  and if by any chance he did have one of his better seasons. He will be offered a low basic wage, heavily incentivized with appearance related bonuses which i doubt he would accept.

 

Id imagine he will see out the last year, maybe be fit for a few more games than last year.  And then be off to America for one last payday.

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,.

Interesting mixed metaphors but you're probably right

I put that down to a surfeit of lager last night

Stop being so negative, fannies.

It's Negative Nancy's.

[lifetime fan]

It’s not negative - it’s reality.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Nah, it's a prediction and it's a negative one. His attitude is right at the moment and he looks good. I'll not be pissing all over that. Here's to a good season Danny boy.

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.

 

Where did I say we'd be the ones offering him a new contract? Considering his age, he's looking for a last good contract with any decent European club. He isn't gonna get that if he doesn't make an impact this season, hence the motivation. 

[TheHowieLama]

What was his motivation last year?

[ZonkoVille77]

If a decent offer came in for him over the next week he'd be sold.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Fucking wage thief. Doesn't even have to pay for a massage the mingebag.

[Aventus]

If he wasn't our player already and Klopp got him on a one year loan then people would be made up, and think it's a gamble worth taking.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

What was his motivation last year?

World Cup place? Rapping? Fashion?

Should it take him entering the final year of his contract as motivation to turn out more often for the club.....

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Yes, once again, why is he only suddenly motivated? Is the clock ticking on his £125k salary worrying him?

No o e else will pay a fee and they will think twice about a loan after the WBA debacle.

If his entire Liverpool career consists of 2 incredible seasons, 2013-14 and 2018-19 with barely a game played in between then I'll be happy.

[TheHowieLama]

Pretty sure he will too

Are you his agent?

[3 Stacks]

Err, obviously, yes. Are you just suddenly realizing that money and uncertainty about where your next job might be are motivating factors? 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Err, obviously, yes. Are you just suddenly realizing that money and uncertainty about where your next job might be are motivating factors?

 

Are you only just realising he wasn't particularly arsed until entering the last year of a bumper contract? Maybe more motivation throughout his contract might have seen him off the treatment table more often.

I know that I, for one, will be utterly pissed off if he helps us win something. I'll be fucking fuming.

[TheHowieLama]

Agree -- prefer to win something without him

[Numero Veinticinco]

Agree -- prefer to win something without him

If we win it with him, I'm not counting it. I might even support City instead.

[Tony Moanero]

I’ve never liked the cunt. Was made up when Sevilla bummed us in the second half of the Europa League Final, as I was absolutely shitting myself that it would finish 1-0 Sturridge.
