Could be media bs but apparently we are chasing stirridge now, if true then that is frantastic. I know he's had injury issues but when fit he's close to world class.
18 Jun 2016 12:59:07
If true it's fantastic news and if there's its also true Liverpool have any interest in Theo its super fantastic news.
Sturridge for Theo plus cash would be great as even given Danny's injuries the worse case scenario we'd be swapping a player who is only available for 50% of the season but seldom delivers even when fit for a player who is only available for 50% of the season but almost always delivers when available.
Theo was a Liverpool fan before joining us and a move might be the making of him too, its all a very very long shot but it might just work Chuck :-)

Oh dear fellas don't be so desperate
"Daniel sturridge when fit is close to world class"
Are you having a laugh?
He's average at best and a very selfish player, he's at ronaldo's level on selfishness il give you that lol ;)
He had one good season and that's it. Overrated mate.
18 Jun 2016 17:24:34
At Liverpool his scoring he's played 69 and scored 43 at Bolton he played 12 school scored 8 and even at Chelsea and city where he was played outwide his record was much better than most.
Desperate JE? I'd say we desperately need him way or someone equally as prolific if we hope to compete with the best mate.
We have to get ready made if we hope to keep both Sanchez and Ozil as they won't waste their best years waiting for us to get it right one day.
18 Jun 2016 17:45:11
I'm not sure why I typed he was at school when he scored for Bolton, he was young bit not quite that young:-)
18 Jun 2016 17:47:39
I understand G that on paper he looks pretty prolific but stats aren't everything mate, everyone slating giroud (myself included) but his stats aren't the worst.
Sturridge is made of the same glass fabrication as our very own Jack, why waste a penny on a 5 game a season player, even klopp has torn the back out of him.
We certainly need to be aiming a lot higher if we are to keep both players you mention happy mate.
18 Jun 2016 15:17:27
If Liverpool come in for Walcott, I would love to sign Sturridge as part of the deal. Benteke is also one I would consider signing.
18 Jun 2016 18:40:11
We need to Ballance what we need with who we can get JE mate, is Sturridge a gamble? Yes but only because of his fitness which if you take a look at his and Jacks injuries records they are very different,
Vardy and Sturridge are premier league proven goal scorers who we have a realistic chance of getting while Aguero is a fantasy football target only and the likes of Lewandowski and Higuain will have clubs willing to pay wages and fee's way beyond our limits.
Sturridge and Vardy will both score lots of premier league goals next season I'd like them to be for us mate.
18 Jun 2016 19:27:42
I think a move would be as good for Theo as it would for us RG mate, we are going nowhere together but some sort of deal with Liverpool involving Sturridge might work out well for all concerned.
18 Jun 2016 19:34:44
Thanks for bringing me back down to earth G ; (
I dream big mate and with players like ozil and Alexis why wouldn't worldys want to come n play for us, in the richest most entertaining league, on the carpet that is the Emirates, under one of the best managers in the world n challenge for the biggest trophys.
I know money talks but a CF is the position we should be looking to strengthen the most and poor most of our dime into. We could challenge the big guns £ wise according to gazidas (spelling)
Would you sign both vardy and sturridge?
18 Jun 2016 19:39:10
I. m. o Sturridge is "world class when it works"
He's a selfish player, many have said this. Not specifically in a negative context, just he kind of is.
When his individual moments work, like for England the other night (not just the goal either) , it looks brilliant. He gives the attack a ready outlet. However, for me he's easily isolated, especially when not playing with a striking partner.
He doesn't hold the ball up well and has an injury record to rival Jack's. He just can't be relied on to be an option each week, especially if he played for arsenal. Everyone loves to kick us off the pitch.
18 Jun 2016 20:04:00
Sorry JE didn't mean to burst your bubble mate and when all said and done its only my opinion which has been known to be less than reliable on more than one occasion, if it helps when the media first linked us to Mesut I laughed it off as a non starter:-)
Yes mate I'd gladly take both if we could get them, Ozil Sturridge Vardy and Sanchez with Olly on the bench :-)
18 Jun 2016 20:19:30
Jegooner are you blind lol sturridge is great in every department, only problem is that also includes a and e department. When fit he is class on grass and is not frightened to score.
18 Jun 2016 22:56:24
Your forgiven then G lol
Don't get me wrong yes I know he has moments of brilliance but he tries these moments of brilliance all the time n 1/ 10 it comes off and he'll do it when a teammate has a tap in n all that's needed is a square ball but he'll try a rabona flick over the keepers head n miss.
Better than Theo yes but nit the answer to our prayers
ste I just don't see it mate, Suarez would make any strike partner look amazing, as soon as he left then you saw the real Daniel Sturridge, he can't do the lone striker thing very well.
19 Jun 2016 10:17:42
JE take another look mate, seriously he has been scoring goals to fun his whole career mate, city Chelsea Bolton and Liverpool he has produced the goods evey time, his injury problems came after the last world cup with happened to coincide with Saurez leaving mate that's all.
If we can get a better proven natural goal scorer than Sturridge fantastic let's do it :-) but the thing I don't won't to see is us trying to convert someone into a goal scorer or chase unrealistic targets that come to nothing again this summer.
Get the best we can possibly get but whatever happens we mustn't start the season with Olly ad Theo or some bloke who useed to be a left back but moved into the DM position before becoming a winger who we feel with enough time and effort can become the next Henry ( possibly:-)

As in lfc fan would hate to see sturridge go to Arsenal as the only risk would be keeping him fit. Besides that he'd be the perfect striker for Arsenal.
His hold up okay may be lacking but as shown against Wales he is brilliant at playing one twos in and around the box to create chances (which is something Arsenal do more and better then any BPL team) . He has pace, technique, great control, clinical finishing and can set up goals.
He also doesn't just finish of small teams, has scored regularly against United, scored in the Europa league final, World Cup, euros, against Chelsea, city and a few against you.
If you can keep him fit he would score goals for fun, consider his record for LFC and the standard of his team mates around him (barring that one season) . Imagine Ozil setting up the chances for sturridge he did for girouid? Then add Sanchez, Ramsay, cazorla, etc, he would get at least 20 a season. Plus if you kept girouid would have a plan b and decent back up striker. hope it doesn't happen and pray if it does Walcott isn't involved!
19 Jun 2016 14:46:01
i think he'll get us goals G it's his injurys and uber selfishness that turn my head away mate, I know my expectations of getting the best of the best may be unrealistic mate lol I'm a dreamer.
What would be your top 5 realistic striker targets mate?
Seeing us linked with the forgotten Jovetic again :)
19 Jun 2016 15:24:40
Ro you are doing a great job of selling him to us, the guy with a good run and n injuries could become anything.
