Let's just wait and see, this article stinks or scaremongering at this stage. It's a knee injury and nothing related to his previous issues.

Gonna sack someone for this

Of course its more serious, its ALWAYS more serious.

A sports scientist on twitter who's also an lfc fan said that sturridges initial injury problems relating to his thigh were consistently misdiagnosed by our medical team. So some of that down time could have been avoided.

If you were Sturridge and you knew something was wrong with you but your medical guys couldn't get to the bottom of it, you would probably start to suffer with confidence and have trust issues too.

I have no doubt that some players will play through knocks whilst others need to be 100% but Daniel Sturridge isn't completely to blame for this.

It's different with muscle injuries though, if you rely on speed and turn of foot. You'd have to feel near 100% to be playing with anything near complete freedom.

yerp...i certainly don't disagree with you there, i think juve was 2 steps higher up for the move for his age/experience... would have suited us

here's a thought, get a somewhat fit sturro (look i like him and all, he's ace when fit and firing - but honestly think he will do well in a slower paced/tactical league) and do a trade in jan (Dybla will suit us to a tee)? Sturridge will probably need to switch learning Spanish to Italian for now - till he gets his dream move to Valencia/Sevilla/ATM () in a couple years time... win win for everyone...

As much as I agree with everything you say, I'm just a little disappointed how many supposed Pratchett fans have been whooshed by my post.

it was seen, and duly ignored

What the hell can the club do with Sturridge? If he is fit he is invaluable but if he isn't then what's the point? Would anyone take a punt on him after the last year? The only thing that I can think of that would make any sense (and yet it makes no sense some will say!) is to loan him in January and buy a proper fit goal scorer. If he shows his fitness is sustained then bring him back, if not then sell him for whatever can be got.

Depends if there's any clauses or stipulations in his contract re:Injuries

[redmike65]

How do you mean? A contract that states "my client cannot be sold while injured"?

Has Klopp said something today during the press conference then?

[redmike65]

Just that our star striker is out of the game tomorrow

Just more of if the club took into account his previous string of injuries and added certain clauses...maybe something like the club can sell him or release him from his contract/pay him a reduced wage etc if he doesn't meet 75% of games

[redmike65]

Ah right, sure Liverpool wouldn't be that savvy!
