Sturridge is off to West Ham or West Brom.

One training session under The Pulis style of play could be fatal for Sturridge.

{Ed001's Note - what makes you say that? Pulis is very good at keeping players fit. Yes he pushes them hard, but that is why his teams very rarely struggle with injury problems through a season, they are fit enough to cope.}

West Brom can't afford him in any way shape or form.

{Ed001's Note - yes they can. Every team in the Prem will have a huge influx of TV money.}

WBA could finish 8th. Premier league prize money alone could pay his fee.

Have WBA asked about him ed?

{Ed001's Note - not that I know of.}

Sorry Ed.
It was said in jest and banter.

Most of the pundits say that pulis' teams style of play is more physical and direct and since Sturridge has a history of niggling injuries that the two would appear strange bedfellows.

No offence intended.

{Ed001's Note - I wasn't offended, I was genuinely surprised. Pulis may have what is considered to be a style of play unsuited to Sturridge, but there is no certainty he will be in charge next season anyway. However it was you questioning Pulis's training methods I was taken aback by. One thing he does do is run his players, he builds up their fitness and endurance, unlike anyone else these days, so his players are able to cope with most things. I actually think a few months with Pulis would do any player good.}

I think Pulis gets an unfair rap, his tactics are the same as Mourinho's but he doesn't have the luxury of a £200m transfer budget.

Did West Brom not recently get taken over by rich Chinese owners? im sure they can afford him if they wanted him.

{Ed001's Note - yes mate. There could be big changes afoot there. The owners are still considering the long term plan for the club.}

So pulis could be out ed?

{Ed001's Note - could be. Nothing is decided yet.}

Would Klopp's method of training not be similar to pulis to build up fitness as I often see stats where Liverpool players have covered the most ground.?

Maybe that's what Sturridge needs to build up his core fitness as he seems to pick up more injuries.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool players cover the most ground because of Klopp's panic-based kopflose huhn style of play where they run very quickly at the opposition players. Other teams are taught to let the ball do as much of the work as possible - hence they don't run so far.}

So how does Pulis get his players fit? Does he have them doing long road runs or something else?

{Ed001's Note - he does a lot more physical and endurance work, which players complain is boring, but it does make a huge difference to their stamina.}
