Title: Sturridge…. Would have give him a punt?
Post by: Jeroen on July 14, 2021, 06:58:23 PM
?s=21

He looks fit and has/had a good touch and an eye for goal - if we are short of money for transfers, would you give him a punt? Seems to struggle to get a club so a very basic salary with a pay as you play bonus and who knows.....

(I know the 'abuse' I will get haha)

Sounds like he's in the US and so probably will get some MLS money.

That said, On a pay as you play deal? No brainer- would be an asset to a championship team. Otherwise...cya later!

I'm afraid I wouldn't take him here. He's made of glass, isn't renowned for being a great influence around the team and will still expect decent wages.

He might be able to find a spot in the MLS, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the Championship - it's just too physical. Sad though, as he was a hell of a player for a few years.

He would demand more than is justifiably affordable. Someone with his track record of injuries is too much of a risk IMO

We have a tendency to have very injury prone players so I wouldnt like another risk, while Sturridge does sound an amazing sign, I dont want any warning signs for new transfers

Isn't he training with a La Liga side? Mallorca, or somebody?

The video shows him at Drake Stadium, UCLA, Los Angeles.

It's being reported in shitrags like the Mail too, but I won't link to that, but here is another link.

Do 'Pay as you play' deals actually even exist any more?

15 months without a club tells you everything you need to know about this fella. To think, it's not that long ago he was vying with Kane for the England number 9 shirt. Talk about careers that have gone in opposite directions

Would depend on what Sturridge's agent is trying to get!
Arguably after 15 months out of the game there is a strong argument Sturridge should play for 'expenses'  just to get back to match fitness and improve his market value. His registration would also take up a valuable spot in the registered team list as he is obviously not a young player.
I see the excellent Italian keeper Donnarubba has just moved on a 'free transfer' to PSG, but his agent, (some might use the term parasite), Raiola is alleged to have trousered 20 million euros in 'fees.'

I cannot find it.

No, cant stand the arrogant individual. Remember when he scored for Liverpool at Hammy end and stood with his arms crossed waiting for the applause. Wrong end.

We need to avoid injury prone players and develop a solid team of fully fit regulars .
