Starting to appear all over Twitter that Kopp has blocked any sale of Sturridge as he'd be too expensive to replace.
How long has he got left on his contract?
I remember saying I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up staying. Nobody is going to punt big money on him with his injury record over recent years, and I'm not sure he would get a contract elsewhere as lucrative as his contract one most likely is.
Whether he is happy being utilised for the domestic cups is another matter - maybe, just maybe, with it being World Cup year he might be able to convince himself to avoid as many injuries? He's going to be 28 in a couple of months so this would likely be his last chance of featuring in a World Cup.
