Daniel Sturridge

[Nicey]

All well and good saying offload him and replace with X however it's not that easy to sign these players, if we could replace with someone of equal quality/potential then great.

For me I'd rather see us move on and look to replace some of the others we have hanging around the squad with better quality than one of our genuine game winners. All moot of course if we can't get him fit.

I'm sure if we do offload him and he goes and scores a hatful elsewhere Ayre will shown as the incompetent idiot for allowing him to go

I think we will never have a better chance .. Klopp has real pulling power

[captainfog]

This I agree with. Letting him move on for me doesn't achieve anything positive for us really but it's something that is likely to happen.

I just hope if it does come to this we can recruit the right type of player (my belief this will happen is not that high)

I have more faith in our recruitment now than when Rodgers was in charge. But this based purely on blind optimism

I'm perusing this latest car crash caused by Harv waking into yet another lamp post whilst staring at his phone, and I can't help but highlight this gem from Pepe which seems to have been missed by everyone.

there was this bull**** story about sturridge about god not wanting him to play and his head not being right. How the club have sent him for psychiatric help but that hasnt got anywhere and them wanting to sue him for breach of contract. all the journos know and are on gagging orders. only reason lfc dont sue for breach of contract is because it will become public knowledge etc....

source..... none other than roy evans lol...

Who's taking anything as gospel?

Fantastic punnage.

Silly comparison. The desperation some of you have for there to be some grand conspiracy theory is weird as ****. God forbid the manager is just being honest and we are trying something different with him after years of stop start.

It's not a silly comparison at all unless you are just burying your head in the sand. Have you watched Klopp's latest press conference? It's obvious that something isn't right with the way Sturridge is acting and Klopp doesn't disguise that fact.

Most footballers can't wait to recover from injury and they push themselves to do so, just watch Danny Ings and Joe Gomez do so. They will put every effort into getting back as soon as they possibly can.

Sturridge is trying to make every excuse possible to not train and to not get back on the pitch. It is clear as day, it's not a conspiracy theory, it is staring you in the face if you can take off your blinkers for a second to take a look.

Our British clogger signings ratio is right down to 50% under Klopp so definitely a step in the right direction

[The Aardvark]

He's a big fanny. Comparisons to Flanagan's injury are tenuous, that was a long term injury right from the start and it was acknowledged it was a serious one that would take time.

Sturridge's little niggles, when you look at that analysis on the BBC site, have been frequent and in many cases, minor injuries where he was out for a few days.

Klopp said himself he needs to appreciate the difference between pain and serious pain.

He's taking the piss now. Big salary and no benefit from it. Whatever the reasons, he's a drain on resources and a bad example for the younger players, laughing away in his seat watching the game as the fans stump up his (very high) wages.

If he doesn't get fit between now and the summer, he needs to go.

Injured players who display zero determination to get fit again are no use to us.

Contrast the interviews with the likes of Flanagan, Ings and Gomez with nothing from Sturridge, apart from a load of **** on social media about trusting in god.

He's just a lazy ****.

[Boogs]

I disagree. You don't know what is going on. How do you know he's acting and that his body just won't allow him to do what is required? To suggest he is making excuses not to train when you have no idea what is going on is quite frankly idiotic.

[The Aardvark]

Because he never plays.

Because he constantly breaks down in training.

Because of the injury record.

It's all there in front of us, backed up by comments in press conferences from the manager.

It's staring us in the face.

[The Aardvark]

Regardless, he's no use to us sat in the stands or on the treatment table.

Get fit or leave.

The amount of flouncing in this thread.

Get fit or leave.

He's not sat in the stands or on the treatment table anymore,now he lives behind the Subway Dumpster where he works.

Hahaha. He may as well be.

Hmmm, does that mean the rarely seen Sturridge goal dance is in fact a flounce?
