Good Day ED's Not sure if you got my last post. When I wish you all a happy new year and thanks you all for doing such a great job. ED1 I sent you my condolences on your loss.
My question was any update on Daniel Sturridge.?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks for your nice words. There is noything n ew on Sturridge as far as I am aware. Money would be an issue for Real Betis if they had to pay his wages on loan. Besiktas are looking to add a striker but are concerned about fitness. Newcastle want Ings but Sturridge may work on a some sort of financially beneficial deal, but right now their futhure is still unresolved.}

Not the types of clubs he would have been linked to a couple of years ago - such a shame for the guy and his injuries have massively impacted him (and Liverpool)

SG in response though Sturridge is renowned for making the most of the slightest issue not to play. From a clubs perspective to have the £100k plus a week wages off the bill would be a benefit to replace with someone else of more time for Dom S.

Sturridge's time is done and he has to accept some of that is the consequence of his own decisions.

I hear you and agree it’s time to move on JC, but would also note that if every time you played with a niggle you got an injury that put you out for a couple of months you’d be a bit paranoid too.

Not saying he’s right to take that view or not, and agree he’s made of glass, but I’m sure he would rather play than not.

Yes that would be a case however the hypochondriac levels and pre-madonna stages have "apparently" been to an extreme in DS case.

Every player should want to play when possible and no doubt he had some injuries that meant he could not but far too many times when reports/ rumours suggest he could have easily played and yet would abstain from training etc and have to spend time abroad to recover.

I could be unjustly apportioning slander in his direction but when you read so much and correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure the Eds have also alluded to this in the past its hard to avoid the "no smoke without fire" assumption.

Anyway let's hope we get some decent return and release the wages to re-invest where needed.

All the best.

Sturridge isn’t a bad player, isn’t a bad person to have at the club and isn’t a bad guy either, however he does have a high wage considering he hardly ever plays and as much of that is due to him being made of glass, as it is him being injured.

As one of the others above has stated, he is known to not need much to go off sick, even Klopp pretty much said he needed to strap a pair on!

I wish the lad well but think his time at Liverpool is done now.

Give him a pay as you play contract. That will be fair.

Cheers JC and you too.

Agree let’s hope we can get something for him and he goes on to play somewhere regularly while we can move on too with someone that is more robust and can fit our system better.
