Poll Sturridge poll

[Aidan O' Neill]

I'm confused as to why Klopp favours Origi over Sturridge. I think many people would argue that Origi isn't very good. Why would he do this when Sturridge has nearly 1 in 2 this season.

Because he's usually fit

Yeh but even when Studge is fit. Which he has been a good few times and has just warmed the bench whilst Origi has led our line

Yeah , its not as if origi has firmino-like work rate.

I can only assume it was fitness related as sturridge is infinitely better, regardless

Firmino: 11 Premiership goals in 34 starts
11 Premiership goals all season! I think that's the lowest goal return for our main striker in Premier League history. Dismal, really.

Not even close.

It's a shame, I'd love him to be fit, but it is a fact that he has been unavailable for more games than he has been available throughout his Liverpool career. He has lost pace, and I'd like to reinvest what will probably be a goodly amount of money.

I'm not sure the club would get that much money for Sturridge, as the other clubs are all well aware that he is made of glass and signing him would be a massive risk.

If we did sell him, I would be haunted by the fear that he would play a full season for his new club and score 30 goals.

In my opinion Origi will never amount to much and it is unclear if Ings will ever be a force again, so Sturridge is the only viable striker we have on our books at the moment.

It's reported that he's getting close to 150 thousand pounds per week. Surely that impacts on our wage budget.

Yes, it takes £150k a week off it.

Sturridge is the better striker, but can't lead the line in a 433 and has the worst work rate out of any of our strikers. Klopp wants a worker up front and origi works harder than sturridge. That my theory on it anyway.

 

[reuque]

Sturridge has upped his social media game since he's gotten back to his playing ways. Not since Sakho regularly updating pictures of random 'beautiful Scouse dogs' has there been a Liverpool player more worthy of staying for at least cult reasons.

 

[Holle]

Not even close.

It's called alternative truth these days.

 

[Hansern]

It's called alternative truth these days.

I remember another one from a couple of weeks ago.
It was that nearly everyone in the top 10 had a better defensive record than us, but it turned out we had the 5th best record or something.

Is alternative truth accepted these days then?

If its obvious to all of us that he is rarely available and not what he used to be, how is it likely we're going to get a lot of money for him ?

Yep. When I heard about the £40 mill price tag the club had slapped on him in some article somewhere....

 

[rurikbird]

I don't think we'll get a lot, but we'll save a lot on wages as he's one of the top earners in this squad.

 

[Rosco]

We'll be paying him until the end of the contract even if he leaves. He's unlikely to get another big deal

 

[Hansern]

Its a shame it was reported a few days ago that West Ham wont follow up their interest in him.
That was a good bet regarding a decent fee and a decent contract.

 

[Portly]

Seems strange that some of us are so keen to get rid of Sturridge, when the only other available striker is Origi.

Do we think it is unnecessary to have strikers?
