98 - Percentage of Liverpool fans who now think they can win the league this season. Lead.

If they can sign Willian, they will have a really strong squad :

-------------- Sturridge --------------

Coutinho --- Suarez --- Willian

They have a good keeper and Touré + Agger is a really good pairing

What idiots don't understand about Sturridge is that we didn't let him go, we HAD to let him go. He wasn't going to be our striker which he wanted and his contract was up. So he was going to leave on a free at the end of the season. And, to actually get 12M for him was amazing. If anything they should be praised for getting 12M for a dude who barely played in the first half of the season and whose contract was up in 6 months.

He should have been our main striker, the reason he didn't want to extend his contract is 3 wasted years with only 4 starts as a striker while Floppes has over 100 matches at the club.

Idiots are people who don't think Sturridge is good enough to be our main striker but are happy to watch Mr.Fernando up top loosing the ball and failing to score.

None of the managers played him as striker so not sure what other scenario was ever going to happen. None of the managers seemed to rate him as a striker.

Am I the only one who doesn't see what all the fuss about Coutinho is? Sure, he's very good on the ball and has an eye for a pass, but he often over-dribbles, can't defend and his work-rate is terrible. He leaves his fullback complete exposed and it gets exploited by opposition. In the first half, 53% of Stoke's attacks came from the right, Coutinho's side, while only 18% came from the left.

He wanted to leave because he wasn't given a chance because of Floppes and it was the right choice for him. But not from our board and management.

So you'd rather see him leave for free? Not sure what the alternative was since the managers were never playing as striker. I'm not arguing Sturridge's credentials as a striker but the actual situation he and we were in and that you'd be an idiot to actually think he would have stayed if we didnt sell him.
