..being linked with us...favourite to sign him, etc. (may be bollocks but this is a forum for discussion )
Would you take him?
Would instantly be our best player but his fitness record is shocking. If he would come on loan I'd definitely take him.
These days, sign-on fees and agent fees can potentially be higher than the transfer fee. So even if there's no transfer fee there's still quite a lot of money going, no doubt Sturridge will need some coin to be convinced to come here.
Also, if there is a transfer fee and it's 1 or 2 mil, then we should pay it IMO. He'd be our best striker - even player - by some distance. Lascelles comes close, but others....nah.
If we had someone of his quality up front we would not even be contemplating relegation.
Ask yourself how many goals each of our strikers have this season...
I’d even take demba ba back in comparison.
Sturridge is a step up iid snap the scousers hands off if we could land him
I think he’s only come on loan but there is a world cup coming up,any decent striker would be guaranteed game time with us................
unless your fist name is Alexander!!!!
As far as rumours, we've been linked with Sturridge, Ings and Slimani. I'd take any of them over what we have. Health has been an issue for all of them though. It would have to be a loan move.
No one is doubting his quality but he only plays around 1 out of 3 games per season , which is no good to us
Slimani would be an amazing signing. But I doubt that would happen .
8 goals in 35 games for Leicester doesn't impress me too much. I'd take Sturridge over him tbh.
Sturridge or Ings . . .
I think of the two Sturridge is probably better player but i suspect we have a better chance of getting Ings, don't know why - gut feeling.
I think on loan for half a season Sturridge could be brilliant. If we'd put away even a 3rd of of the chances we've had we'd be nowhere near relegation zone. Sturridge, fitness concerns aside does know where hte goal is and does score.
