I've still got a bit of a feeling that Sturridge is quite a good player, call me bonkers and all that but I can't help it. Once he's sold and goes to a team who asks him to concentrate on what he's good at (scoring goals, causing goals to be scored) and to spend less time, effort and energy on what he's not so good at (running round a lot and putting slide tackles in), I've a hunch we might see a different player.
In the meantime the challenge for us is to find someone who combines the running around a lot and pressing ability of a Firmino, with the more traditional attributes people look for in a striker (putting the ball in the onion bag). Simples, unless we can teach Firmino how to hit a cows @rse with a banjo on a much more regular basis than he's shown the tendency to do so far, we need to get Luis Suarez back.
