Daniel Sturridge

[BigChief]

You knew this would happen. Genius by the club not buyiing another striker in January. **** for brain's

I don't normally have a go at the club now its being run properly. But I can't help agree with this, they really had **** for brains if they thought their problems would be sorted with Sturridge returning.

My Christmas wishlist was to get Ibe back from loan (achieved) and get Origi back by paying the extra 4-6 million. He might not score but his pace and threat would always be more than Balotelli/Lambert could ever offer.

With CL such a holy grail and more difficult this season, yep, **** for brains.

You really think so?

I think a player missing large portions of the season, and one soon to be our top earner, who may continue his pattern of injury and slow, interrupted recovery warrants a bit of attention and future-planning. Certainly his running cost will be foremost in the mind of the powers that be, especially when we may just use up the amount Gerrard will be freeing up just to find cover for the lad.

Would you not agree ?

No.

I think they understand that sportsmen get injured. I think they're more likely to be pissed that we signed Mario and Lambert as his cover.

[McDermotX]

No.

Well, don't be shy ?

No one gets paid by the post here (thank God some have a day job!). If you've something to add...

Of course, but its a resource not being maximised this season, one which has become decidedly more expensive this season. The fact that chuckles and Lambert are our backups to injured-Sturridge and 70m in the door would give anyone cause for concern.

Dan hasn't looked right at all since coming back, even if a few goals have gone in, and does probably need the summer to come quick.

FSG, from an accounting point of view, must be seething at the return on a weekly basis

You're somewhat softening your initial stance McD.

It's gone beyond needing cover for Sturridge. In the summer Liverpool need to be looking at a first choice striker. I think the lion's share of the budget needs to be spent on the best striker we can lay our hands on.

[Bender]

....end of season Implosion...this guy just cannot be our no.1 striker well at least he signed his mega money contract

Thanks

[spider-neil]

Sell.

Sturridge is absolutely worth having in the squad but he shouldn't be relied on.
This season is a write off for Daniel, he needs to be getting his body right for next season.

[EwarWoo]

Have an awful feeling he's going to end up being another Agger

[spider-neil]

I personally think he was brought back too early. You could tell he wasn't running with complete freedom. If we had another striker worth a **** we could have eased him in a bit slower.
