SCM's least favourite muppet

Liverpool are prepared to sell Daniel Sturridge this month - but they want £30million for the striker.
The 28-year-old frontman has informed the Reds that he wants to leave during the current window in order to secure the regular action required to force his way into England’s World Cup squad.
Jurgen Klopp remains keen for Sturridge to stay for the rest of the season but will grant him his wish if Liverpool receive an offer which they believe matches his value.
As it stands Sturridge isn’t available for loan with the Reds only considering a permanent move. That position could change later in the window if the asking price isn’t met and there’s a hefty loan fee on the table.

Southampton and West Ham have both been linked with the former Chelsea forward, who has found himself down the pecking order at Anfield this season.
Sturridge, who returned to full training at Melwood this week after a hamstring injury, hasn’t featured since the victory over Spartak Moscow on December 6.
He has only made five starts in all competitions this term with Klopp favouring Roberto Firmino in the central attacking role.
 
We haven't bought anyone off Southampton for over a week. Maybe we could swap him for someone.
 
I'd fucking love it if we got rid of that useless lump, but who in their right mind is going to pay 30M for him?
 
He will score goals for the mid table teams West Ham / Southampton. Sad fall for the guy. When he got injured after scoring from an outrageous chip, earlier this season, I thought he time was up

His valuation at most will be 17-18M given his injury record and also the fact that most other clubs will have realized by now that he was just a one season wonder.
 
The original report comes from Pearce in the Echo, which will have been fed to him by the club.
 
We'd make more breaking him for spare parts

Sorry Daniel, Jürgen needs his Naby
 
The PE owners of my business talk regularly about the 'one bigger fool' rule. Essentially meaning however badly you overvalue a business, or however utterly shite the asset actually is, all you really need is one bigger fool to think it's worth it, to stump up the cash and you're golden.

Applies very well in the case of Sturridge. If we can find some fucking imbecile prepared to pay money for him, it'll be every bit as good a transfer as getting 140M for Coutinho.
 
And never forget folks, it would have been less than a year ago that we had to regularly read Brendan bang on about his astonishment that this useless cunt wasn't getting games ahead of Firmino.
 
And there it is. Obviously injuries fucked sturridge, but playing next to a god raised his skill ceiling immensely when he was at the height of his power. Let's hope we don't see further examples of players who we learn simply looked better than they are because of those around them, during the rest of this season.

The Igor Biscan rule.

We stood that hapless ballbag next to Gerrard, Hammann, and Alonso. He couldn't fail!

Although I have absolutely no problem with him being sold - I think to suggest he would have been a failure without Suarez is a bit too far. Remember at the start of THAT season whie Suarez was serving his ban - Studge was actually scoring some very good goals worthy of a world class striker. The issue is that the injuries and his inability to reproduce that seasons form has meant that he is no longer an effective part of our team. Part of me actually thinks he could be an effective creator type behind a main striker but he is too injury prone for such a role. In comparison to Firminio - Studge is made of glass, and Firminio is made of steel - rarely gets injured despite the effort he puts in. It's too much for this club to a player on 150K a week that hardly plays.

I hate to say this but Moron has a point here regarding the time Suarez was sidelined. Way to harsh to suggest Sturridge was just a partner to Suarez

We should have sold him a long time ago, it was obvious it was always going to end this way.


Desperate times, I can see some of the bottom clubs paying it.

Don't you mean never forgot its only been a couple of years since Dreambeliever said we should sell while his value was sky high and that he was crocked and would never get to where we needed to be only to be told by virtually everyone that he would be back to his once he got over his latest injury.

Indeed, at one stage he looked like he would be the quickest player ever to 50 goals for us and then 100.

He was banging them in for fun with or without Suarez.

Sturridge was a sensational striker, just sadly one that peaked in 13/14 and injury meant he never got back there and now his body has given up.

Just about it
 
I'm not saying Sturridge wasn't a very good striker, he was a very good striker, having an exceptional season, in a team that worked perfectly for him and vice versa. Of course his injuries crippled his career. I never loved Sturridge though, nor did I rate him anywhere near Suarez, even at his best. There was one game where Suarez actually played quite wide left with Sturridge in the center, and Suarez was pulling up trees for 90 minutes and Sturridge was acting like he was Ronaldo (the fat one), and it was that sort of performance that really stuck with me. He wasn't embarrassed into doing anything different, because it wasn't a matter of not giving a fuck, its just the only way he knows how to play. It's a way of playing that isn't effectual at all when he's not really on song. He goes very quickly to being a complete luxury, and recently he's a liability. He is just one of those casual looking strikers, and those are a dying breed, and certainly don't start games regularly on a team like ours, whether they're in form or not.

I also rate Salah, and I'm not saying he isn't a very good forward...

I hope I'm wrong on that one though. Probably, I don't really know anything about football.
 
Sturridge should have been sold at the end of last season.

Same goes for Markovic - who I cannot believe is still on our books.

Just cut the deadwood.
