Sturridge wants a transfer

[LeTallecWiz]

I thought he did pretty well today but you can tell he's past it.

I wonder if today's glimpse of Salah through the middle will get any more chances now Lallana is back

Coutinho Salah Mane
Lallana Henderson Wijnaldum

Puts Sturridge even further away from a start

If Firmino had have put in that performance, there'd be calls to have him deported.

Sturridge is complete fucking shit. I hope I never see him play for us again.

 

[dmishra]

Yep, he offered absolutely fuck all. He has nothing left in him anymore.

I’m still shocked that Klopp picked the useless cunt.

I'm always amazed at the level of vitriol and dislike towards Studge. I mean yeah he's made of glass and frequently crocked but he's not done anything ridiculously stupid that makes you go mad angry. The likes of Moreno does that. Studge ? Nah.

If yesterday's performance by Sturridge was him trying to force his way into contention or putting himself in the shop window, I fear for his career.

Our only chance, surely, is to negotiate a decent swap deal. A straight fee won't be much.

Who would we take from a club now at his level, though?

Throwing names at the board here but: Creswell? Lanzini? Bertrand? Boufal?
Part of the Van Dijk transfer?

We should give the players we have got a chance before we go out to buy someone. I can only remember seeing Ings in 2 games - so to me he is a new player and the new young chap from Chelsea - Solanke - how about him. I think we should just sell Studge - to me he is past it and to be honest he was actually a one season wonder and that's about it really - the number of goals speak for themselves. His loss of pace and drive is noticeable - lets give the guys we have a chance before deciding on someone else from outside because between Mane, Firminio, and Salah we have three full time goal-scorers. My view is we are actually stopping the other two from playing because of Studge and we ain't going to win the league this season but we could come 2, 3, or 4th and right now we don't need Studge for that.

Must be frustrating for Solanke, he won't develop without games.

Exactly - I would rather take a long term risk on these guys than spend whatever shit Arsenal spent on their "LacaLala" (or whatever his name is). I mean the top goal scorer this season is some guy from Egypt who plays as a winger - that's how bad strikers are these days - they cannot even compete with a winger - also I think this issue is the world-over. No point even trying to buy someone to replace him until Summer (if it is still required). Lets give Ings/Solanke the chance they deserve.

 

[Brizzle]

I would have rather seen Solanke start against Chelsea, but I can understand that Studge has a point to prove against them also.

I really hope we sell him, as I think he provides too much opportunity cost in game time to players we want to develop.

I think if we offer Sturridge to Soton as part of any Van Dijk deal, they'd put the price up on us.

He'll get games and he has plenty of time. I don't think there's any basis to criticise the way our best young prospects are being handled. There's real care, sports science expertise and thoughtfulness about how best to develop them.

Probably. Who else would be interested? West Ham, obv. Stoke? West Brom?
