Hahaha. I keep doing this. That would be Barca.
I've been surviving on a couple of hours sleep a night thanks to kids getting the norovirus one by one, it seems to be effecting my ability to do anything coherently.

I've been ruminating on exactly this for a few months now. And am in agreement.
It does feel rather depressing though, that we are now measuring Sturridge's value as a striker based on the number of tackles he makes. IT's fucking GOALS that count.
Not sure, but the papers in Sweden are saying that we seem to be the only ones who have made a concrete offer.
Klopp has not promised first team football. He will train with the first team but play with the reserves. Dunno if that's a good enough offer.
90 scouts .. including madrid, bayern, manure, chelsea ... come on dude, we have no shot here ... it's like that norwegian starlet odegaard
No it doesnt look likely, personally I don't want him to join us. He needs to play.
I think he should join a Dutch or Danish team for his own development.
My bet would be that's pretty much how Klopp sees it. He's clearly not convinced about the Studge's ability to fit into his preferred style, but I get the impression he's also a bit nervous about letting a player with so much ability leave, so he wants to make darn sure he's tried every last thing he can think of to make things work. They may not ultimately do so, but I don't think there'll be a parting of the ways any time this season.
I could see Sturridge going to Arsenal, there were reports of a rejected bid in the summer, and burning it up for them
Yeah, I don't doubt he will have plenty of clubs interested.
And I'd be more worried and angry about that possibility if it wasn't for that nagging doubt that it isn't just Klopp's system or his workrate or whatever, but that he isn't capable of the acceleration and movement and top speed of his peak Liverpool years
If that is the case, see you later
I get the feeling Sturridge might have had the chance to leave on deadline day and it didnt fall into place like he hoped.....
He's now just biding time until he gets a move in January I reckon. Maybe we were trying to get someone in as a replacement and it didnt come to fruition?

I don't think any striker has every left us and done very well elsewhere......so Sturridge better be careful.
Suarez.
But that's not really a fair comparison.
Erm......Beardsley? Keegan?
That's about it
I wouldn't even say Beardo managed it. He did join Everton after all.
Yeah, not exactly "success". But he did play well for another 5 years or so. Annoyingly for us.
If Sturridge keeps playong well in cup games, we progress in both cups & are doing well in the league, I think all parties may decide to give it til the end of the season.
Sturridge will know should we have an injury or two that his cup form will give him a shot at coming in an taking a first team place, & that will mean a couple of chances at silverware.
Klopp will be reluctant to let him go in scoring form to a rival for selfish reasons, & also cos he could do an able job as a replacement.
Of course should someone offer silly money in January that may all go out the window, but hopefully it means sturridge may well get a another real chance at proving himself in the first team under klopp.

I know what you mean, but I'd be less surprised than you. Even if by then Klopp has made his mind up to sell, we'll still need to get the Studge to sign a new deal - if we can - in order to safeguard the fee we can charge for him.
We could still sell him for 10-15m with a year left.
Selling him for 25m for example, after a brand new long term contract would mean a massive payoff to him so I would think it would come out pretty even.
And I'm not sure clubs would offer 25m if they knew he wasn't first choice, together with his injury record.
Fair comment, but it'll also depend on what FSG want for him by way of a fee, and IMO they'd make that decision based partly on the impression they want to create (or avoid creating) about LFC in the football world in general. Given the way they've approached such things up till now, they may decide not to sell at all if their idea of the right fee isn't met. These people will not be railroaded whether by players, agents or other clubs.
It's a risky one, if we give him a new contract, payrise, couple of mill signing on fee, and then he gets broken as usual? -We're left to clear up the mess. Look what's happening with Andy Carroll. And you can still get decent money for top level strikers with a year left, didn't Utd pay about 25mill for robin the rapist? He's 27 now so really this next contract is his last big one, and he'd be looking at it being the pinnacle of his career, surely he'd not be keen to re-sign and sit on our bench? Unless he's a true mercenary.
He is an elite level striker when fit, and in the right system, unfortunately that's not our system and he's rarely fit for any length of time, surely we'd be able to offload him for big bucks in order to get someone more suitable in.
In an ideal world, he'd sort his fitness out, and suddenly start playing like Firmino but with his skill, and then sign a new 5yr contract.
