Also did celebrity Googlebox together, can't remember the third person on the sofa, but they must get on really well. Stays fit he is well worth a contract, Vardy and Sturridge would be amazing.

STUHILL Posted 4 June 2019 Share Posted 4 June 2019 Such a risky signing due to his injury record. Clearly a very talented player when he was in his prime and as Klopp just said, one of the best finishers he's ever seen... But have all these injuries taken a toll on him? Just not sure how mobile he is these days. I think if the medical team were OK with it and his wages were in line with some of our other first teamers, then maybe worth a 2 year deal with option of 3rd. Think it would be better to look at other options first though and if that means missing out on him, then so be it. Certainly be interesting to see where he ends up and IF he can stay fit and start scoring regularly again. I imagine West Ham are interested, they love a sick note signing!

Long Eaton Fox Posted 4 June 2019 Share Posted 4 June 2019 Seems strange that he's played 27 games last season, klopp thinks he's a great finisher yet they are letting him go for free. He would be good back up for them surely. Me thinks all is not known. Little bit like Iheanacho. Man city let him go far to easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frany104 Posted 4 June 2019 Share Posted 4 June 2019 Free transfer, I’d take him. He’s a class striker. He seems to be over his injuries and just needs his game time managing. 2 year deal and it’s a win-win really 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 4 June 2019 Share Posted 4 June 2019 We need another striker, he's free, hopefully the wages will be sensible and he's been prolific under the manager's guidance. I'm warming to the idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they even thought he would be this bad! He really did flatter for them. I agree that does seem strange Sturridge is being let go, but I imagine Klopp is just over doing the praise some what and sees little value in giving him another contract when he is 30 this year and unlikely to feature much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not just any old estate car, that's a 200mph 550bhp AMG C63, reputed to be the world's fastest ambulance! I can't see a doctor doing night time emergency calls in that.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 5 June 2019 Share Posted 5 June 2019 Even when Sturridge is fit which isn't very often he looks so slow now, looks like his legs are gone. I don't think he would be a good signing even as back-up as to go from someone like Vardy leading the line who is quick and covers a lot of ground to Sturridge who now is pretty much only a penalty box player would be too troublesome in terms of changing style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really? He's third choice for a team that only plays with one striker. Added to that he's no longer mobile enough to play the way Liverpool expect their number 9 to play. Allowing Sturridge to leave was the obvious choice as it gets rid of a high wage (reportedly 150k a week), makes the pathway easier for someone they have high hopes for in Brewster or at the very worst sign a third choice striker more suited to their style of play on half the wages Sturridge was on.

Ted Maul Posted 5 June 2019 Share Posted 5 June 2019 Unless he's taking a massive wage cut and we can get him on a 1 year deal, we'd be better off swerving this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main formation now has 1 striker, and vardy is the main striker. So based on that why would you expect the backup striker to have lots of minutes? Also I have seen backup strikers have some pretty good goal to minute ratios as often in those situations you have a fresh legs striker coming on against tired legs defenders. Vardy may get banned some games, may get injured as well so there would be some longer mins in the season as well. So I dont think 10 goals is unreasonable for a backup striker. I am not saying your wrong,but believe there is too much assumption,on expected formation & set up... Handling the run in at the EOS games,looking at his choices,noway was Rodgers going to make any distinctive changes... We will all soon see which method and formations he wants to set up with,but I would advise against any pre presumptions. This is just the beginning of the BRodgers era,it's the anticipation which makes the up and coming season exciting.... Who's he bringing in,who can be get,which formation will be his prefererence, and what's his technical nous,of being flexable and being prepared to try the varieties..!! I for one will be very happy just to sit back ,and wait and see how he reads it....I don't need the yoke of frustration,when thing don't run how I would like it!!!I He gets paid to create & be his own man &..and not to decide only after reading foxestalk forum..

Some people think he'll be demanding his Liverpool money but the reality is he'll see what offers he gets this summer and will take the most attractive one if he wants to keep playing. He's in no position to be demanding six figures a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
