He was offered more money at Chelsea than we offered, the reports of his demands were stupid money for the stage he was at, at the time. Nowadays he prob would have got it, with clubs investing daft money in HG players.

Chelsea and London were too big a draw once they put in the offer he was never staying at City. Chelsea were winning stuff and City were just starting to buy everything that moved. It was a pretty much a perfect storm of club buying big and player wanted more, both arguments can be held up pretty strongly. They wanted stars, and he wanted pay parity with the top players at the club before he should have asked. He could have stayed and gone on loan from City as easy he did Chelsea.

It'll he said, she said forever..
 
There is no chance that Liverpool would accept £25mil for Sturridge. They would be mad to.
 
BBC reporting we're recalling Danny Ward from Aberdeen, with reports from Scotland saying it's due to an injury on Mignolet. Now we can finally field a better Injury XI than a Fit XI.

You're joking, right? FSG would grab that money and run before the other club changes their mind.

In a year or two Sturridge isn't even going to be worth the cost of paper his contract is written on, the way things are going.

We're in no hurry to move on right here, right now.

But if he breaks down again after this, people need to put sentiment aside and accept that there's something seriously wrong here that isn't being rectified and it'd be time to move on.

Hopefully he's broke his arm and won't be back in action for a year
 
I don't want Ward to be recalled if it's only for cover, if that's the case he'd be better off playing regularly in Scotland. If he's actually going to get a chance to play his way into the number one jersey then fine, bring him back. Definitely would be interested to see how he will do
 
Pretty much. Sturridge is a 10m a year passenger at this point, and seems to be on fast track to becoming impossible to sell in a not so far future. At some point you just got to cut your losses.

In FM selling him is literally the first thing I do with Liverpool save.
 
I doubt any other club would be willing to pay 25m, I'd actually be tempted by that as well but luckily I don't think anyone will bid that high

That's pretty much my feeling on the situation.

I appreciate when you're talking that calibre of top level talent, people will always take a gamble. But this has been rolling too long now and appears to be a generic problem. I can't personally see anyone offering anything like £20 million. Let alone more. But I may be doing him a disservice. Time will tell if it comes down to it.

But right here, right now, he's going nowhere and we desperately need to get this right. However much longer he sits.

Be be a good £40/ 50 million at least on the open market to replace a player of his calibre.

Depends on how you look at it. Sure, he's a fantastic player, but... And that's a huge but:

He's been here 3 years now, and he's scored 37 league goals. That's 12 league goals a season. Benteke is en route to getting 12 this season, and he brings a chair to the pitch and sets camp at the penalty spot.

I don't play any long-term saves anymore, they started to bore me. So what I do, is pick a challenge for myself to do over one season save. As a result I'v done like 15 first seasons with Liverpool in FM15 when I was trying to win the domestic treble.

Point

I had contemplated through some real bored moments to take over Utd and screw them up just because.

But then it's much easier to just leave Van Gaal in charge. Man that game is SO realistic. ;).
