BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Horrendous injury record.A good job we sold him, never good enough to be a front line striker for us... imagine if he was still here, we'd have three injury prone forwards.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 A good job we sold him, never good enough to be a front line striker for us... imagine if he was still here, we'd have three injury prone forwards. Don't think so. Our medical staff is probably one of the top 3 in Europe and Mou's being always praised for having one of the most injury-friendly practice methods so I highly doubt Sturridge'd be as often and much injured as he is at Liverpool. During his time here I only remember him being injured when RDM was in charge in 2012/13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 One of the best natural finishers in the league isn't good enough for us? I know he's become injury-prone but were it not for that, he'd have a lot more goals than Harry bloody Kane.

Spike 12,049 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I always thought he was a shitty, selfish forward but damn was I wrong. One of the best forwards in England and if he were healthy, he'd be dragging Liverpool's arse to a better position. DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rely on him but I'd love to see him at the club.He did score a lot of goals when playing alongside Luis Suarez and that was his one great season when he scored 21 goals. Reckon the jury is still out there.a) Is he going to be able to accomplish the same without poaching next to a world class striker? Is he ever going remain fit long enough to regain match fitness and do the above? You need match fitness for the above.c) Wouldn't these niggling (and some serious) injuries take a toll? how much?

All I'm saying up until this point I'd have taken him alongside the strikers the club already has.I don't him to return to the club, I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear.

We sold him for £12m, he's worth at least triple that now. Yeah, he has his injury problems but he would've definitely at the very least been a great squad player here. It was poor business.

Yeah, he has his injury problems but he would've definitely at the very least been a great squad player here. It was poor business.It was purely because of what happened in the 18 months after, but right now no one will pay £12m for him purely because he can barely string two games together.He's looking every bit a new Ledley King, great when available, but how often is that actually going to be? He hasn't even returned to The Bridge as a Liverpool player and we've hosted them what 4-5 times since he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he'd get some sufficient sort of rest now Klopp is there. Hopefully his injury gets managed properly.I certainly would sign Sturridge for £12m right now, even given his injury problems.

You are assuming that he will remain playing at this level despite injuries, But at some point these injuries will take their toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 No comments on him scoring tonight? Or Does it not fit the narrative as he was not sold by Jose. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming that he will remain playing at this level despite injuries, But at some point these injuries will take their toll.Sturridge is a much better footballer than Torres fundamentally so even if injuries effect him it won't be as severe as Torres. I agree that having an injury prone player isn't the best but he would've made for great competition with Costa.
