That's an interesting idea. I feel so sorry about Sturridge, he's got the skills but we simply cannot rely on him. I would still expect him to leave the club before the start of the season tbh
I thought he would but I have been thinking
• Would he get the wage he gets here as a move?
• Would we get what we may want in a fee
•Can he still be a top class 9? I don't think so due to his body so will he have to reinvent himself? If he does is he better to stay here with better players around him rather than either trying to be a 9 at a sh*te club or being a 10 with poorer players around him as he learns the role?
•If he wants to continue would he be better taking this year to develop and get fit rather than rush a move with a dog sh*te manager still thinking he's the player of 3 years ago asking him to run channels and giving him 35 games a year to get them away from relegation or whatever or would he be better to try to reinvent himself and should that go well he *could earn a new deal here? Worse case he doesn't but he gets to reinvent himself and then get a move as a free
I think probably we still look to move him on if we can get a replacement in first and a deal that suits us.
However people who I read saying, oh f**k him off to China they'd take him
What if he doesn't want that? What if he still sees himself playing in England and isn't as happy to write his career off?
