Daniel Sturridge

[Phoenix07]

We needed to sign a quick, direct player who is explosive. It's why we were after Remy.

It didn't matter if it was a high profile player. It just had to be someone who could slot into last season's way of playing.

Since two out of the three attacking players last season aren't available, we may have to adjust our style slightly, and focus on getting the points in the bag through unconventional means.

Losing Suarez was bad enough but we aren't doing too bad considering we also lost his prolific partner for the most part so far. We need to bung him a few million extra to retire from England and wrap him in bubble wrap between games.

[Mark79]

This whole opinion that seamlessly replacing a player should be easy if you have the money is a bit simplistic really.

Look at Chelsea. For all of their resources, it's taken them years to finally find the goal scorer they've so obviously needed.

Sometimes they player you need isn't readily available. Can't always blame scouts.

I think it's clear we should have tried a lot harder to hold the one we had to his freshly signed contract instead of selling him on the cheap, and it was cheap.

Should have made him the highest paid player in the world...and it would have been worth it

[G]

Defo, I think the hierarchy were happy to let him go after all the troubles. I wonder do they still think it was a good idea.

It's not blatantly obvious, he's rightly voiced his opinion about attitude and since he's been here had no reason to question them, he's also said he's a top striker.

We tried to sign players I.e Sanchez who joined Arsenal, a medical was failed by Remy who else was there to bring in?

Suarez basically was irreplaceable in our side hence we've gone out to try and strengthen the whole squad which was vastly under strength the deal with the league and CL whilst also trying to stick within FFP so I'll ask again who else was there ?

Snoozy why engage with this cabbage?

He's always wanted to go to Barcelona, end of. Any other team you maybe could have done that but for Barcelona we had no choice, it was his dream to play for them.

[captainfog]

Yeah, and they met the release clause, didn't they? I don't think we had much of an option other than to sell. It's a bummer he's gone, but he is and we have to move on. We're feeling it more keenly at the moment because Studge is out as well and between them that is a lot of goals taken out of the team. Balo has to step up and start taking some chances.

This latest injury is very frustrating because I want to see us have a run with Sturridge, Sterling and Balo in the side and see what they're capable of because on paper they should all compliment each other. Of that trio Sturridge is the one who we'll miss the most when he's out because we've got nobody else like him in the squad. He's a massive miss right now.

I just thought you'd like to offer an opinion and join the discussion rather than having sly digs behind a **** meme like a little bitch.

No sly dig here I think you're a whinging little bitch. Constant digs about the owners " get yer ****in wallet out Mr Henry and sign a proper striker in January" etc.... We're 7 games into a season and already it's not good enough you may not rate Balo but to give him that little time is a sad indictment wouldn't you say?

What and who would you have signed then ? Come on you seem to be willing and able to condem the transfer policy; oh wait there "I'm not a scout BUT."...was the line used, easy to pick holes isn't it but not so easy to offer sensible opinions.

Anyway, with Sturridge injured we need to find a way to play to Balotelli 's strengths as it appears he's all we've sensibly got for the short term up front.

[rodo]

one good season was never gonna be enough to sign the likes of falcao etc and anyone thinking otherwise needs to be realistic

Digs at the owners? I was defending them only a couple of posts ago.

What do you want me to say? Bull**** and load up football manager and recommend a load of players I've never seen before? Even without being a scout with an extensive list of talent I can see Falcao would be making a massive difference to our side right now. He was available in the summer. My opinion is the succession planning for Suarez was poor. Its not like we didn't know he was going.

I'm not going to apologise for having an opinion that doesn't tow the party line. I'm not trolling, I'm expressive an opinion.

I don't rate Balo, never have. He's playing exactly how I expected. Hope he proves me wrong and, starting today, begins to regularly score goals. The stats certainly suggest he has got goals in him.

Whiney little bitch? I'm not the one moaning about posters having a different option to themselves. Get over yourself.

Anyway life's too short. I'm not arguing with you any more. Let's move on.

[Slinky Skills]

****ing hell, it's all booting off in here ha ha! Bitch.

[dom9]

Can we all agree that Studge is a **** nickname?

[Roboklopp]

No, I like it.






You cunt.
