Surely a replacement for Sturridge is not required? He was injured half the time, benched the rest of the time and pretty much ineffective coming off the bench as an impact sub? He doesn't need replacing cos he never made a difference.

Daniel in his prime would be a loss. Sadly the current version if he stayed would only be on the bench getting splinters in his arse which would inevitably get infected meaning he would be out for the rest of the season.
All the bet Daniel hope it works out for you.

Everyone keeps repeating the same line about "if a ball is in the 6 yard box, you want Sturridge on the pitch to finish it off".

Injuries notwithstanding, when was the last time he actually finished one of those off? I remember last season he couldn't hit a barn door despite a few of those chances.

I like Sturridge, I feel bad for his injury history but I'm not upset about him leaving.

More recently than Ings or Solanke.


It all depends what happens in the next 30odd hours, as to whether it makes any sense.

I am as worried as any, but I will wait until Thursday before I start throwing my toys at the monitor

Just saying he doesn't live up to the billing.

“Pards”

And then £50m or so for Riyad Mahrez.

That would do nicely.

City have had a £60m bid knocked back if you believe today's rumours

Mahrez has handed in a transfer request so I suspect it might be more than a rumour

I suspect he'll suit their style more.

I lost no sleep at this news.

He's barely farted for 3 season. We won't miss him at all.

We would have hoped that we wouldn't have needed him anyway, but he was anot experienced back up option proven at PL and European level. Which with all due respect is something you can't say about Ings or Solanke. Yes Sturridge is past his best but IMO it's still a gamble letting him go with no replacement

[Darkon]

I'm perfectly fine with letting him go, he would hardly get any game time here anyways. He's been fit for a while and nowhere near the first team. He might be a good outright striker, but he doesn't fit our style of play under Klopp - if he ever manages to stay properly fit.

Ings and Solanke might not have his record of that 1½ good season, but they fit our style much better i.e. having the discipline, stamina, defensive awareness etc. to actually press up front and contribute in many areas.

Just wait for the first time he scores.for.west brom.and does his dance, and pards comes knee sliding across the pitch like a little lad at a wedding reception
