Daniel Sturridge

[Phoenix07]

We do this all the time. He comes back, scores, people have a wank and convince themselves we should keep him, and then he's out for a period of time, rinse and repeat.

Sturridge's best performances also come in as part of a two man strikeforce. Look at yesterday for example. He never does as well as part of a 1 in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 with one centre-forward.

Saying that, I'd be looking for £30million+, otherwise, we don't sell.

His value is about a third of what we would pay for a like for like replacement for his talent.

He's on big money, but still **** all with the cash knocking around the game, the end of season game in Aus £5 million quid, plus one Sturridge goal next season that moves up a place in the league another couple million pays his wage.

Can't we have a squad of 20 somthing next season, than look sell anyone who doesnt make the starting 11 for once.

We need to move on from injury prone squad members though. You could have a squad of 30 but if half or sidelined what's the point.

Also Sturridge wants to be in a team week in week out which while absurd I can understand as he's missed lots of football. I'm not even sure on his best day he's a Klopp type striker anyway. Move on and replace him with a striker that suits Klopp's pressing game.

We have that though in Firmino and we've seen how effective is has been in the 'big' games. We have also seen how ineffective it can be where we have the ball so don't have to press and that is where you need a flat track bully of a CF - Aguero, Zlat, Kane, Costa, Lukaku, Sanchez etc.

I think we keep him and take the gamble - I'd even buy another forward and let him fight for his spot. A fit and on from Sturridge gets you 20 goals a year and we need one of them.

I would like to keep him, but not rely on him. So another top striker is a must really.

[EwarWoo]

Started 6 scored 2.

If this season was an anomaly sure, but he was almost as bad last season.

Get rid.

I take the first point we need an out and out striker. But you have answered yourself on the second point, keep him and gamble. That's exactly what it is. We gambled this season on keeping certain players fit and lost. I'd sell and maybe replace with two players that we can rely on.

[Alex]

I like him, and will always remember his partnership with Suarez. But he just isnt fit consistantly enough for us justifying his place with us.

Id keep him unless we can get a replacement thats equally as good though. Which I doubt.

So yeah, basically im on the fence.

[The_weatherman]

So yeah, basically im on the fence.

Me too, until he gets injured before the Boro game, then I'll demand his sale.

[Gingawaria]

Keep him - to replace someone of his finishing ability would be £50m plus.

Yes, he's a crock but I think he's a luxury we can afford.

It's all down to him really and whether he wants to move on.

[Fivex]

Thought his head looked a bit funny.

[Alex]

Where has this figure of £50m come from? If we sell him for £20m then thats what a player like him is worth. Its what the market dictates.

If we want a player like him that is always fit and on form, then we will pay £50m. But he isnt always fit, or looking up for it.

His up days are awesome and we saw yesterday what he can do. But we wouldnt be selling him if he was always like that.

[dww]

I do think that there is a case for the fact that we haven't played to his strengths enough under Klopp (same is true of Origi). Playing Coutinho deeper and allowing Sturridge to be a more natural centre forward seems like something we should do more against packed defences.

[Darkon]

I hope we sell him, for all his talent I just doesn't think he will contribute enough. I'd rather have a rotation player we can reliably call upon. Hopefully Ings is back next season and can be that guy, and hopefully we buy a new striker that can play most games.

If we at all can get a decent price for him this summer I hope we get rid and reinvest the money.

[Mark79]

In terms of minutes on the pitch, he's played a total of around 45 games in the last 3 seasons. 15 league goals, 25 in all competitions.

When you look at it that way, it would be mad to keep him, especially as a top earner.

And yet, he's so good I'd hate to see him leave. If there were any chance that he could be fit and available for even just 2/3rds of next season then I wouldn't even think of selling.
With his injury record its hard to imagine much chance of that though.

looks so much better as part of a front two and always has done , Just think we look so dangerous with him around the box and support against the crappier teams.
