I think you're reading to much into this. Makes sense to come home to recover, no point risking infecting anyone else.

He's gone home due to the virus bit it's hard not to think Sturridge may go this summer.

I do feel he needs a run of games and an arm round the shoulder but he's not going to get that and I think it's affecting his form.

I'd like to keep him but if you could promise me a very good striker to replace him I'd be happy. There are not many of those about though.

Term sorry didn't mean that this was like the final straw if it came across that way, more this just made me feel he won't be at the club next season amdnpromted me to write this article.

Just struggling to see where he fits in anymore even when fit.

There were concerns that Mignolet might also get the virus but then again, he can't catch anything.

I'll get my coat.

"Apparently he was ill but wanted to travel and wanted to take part in the double sessions but he hasn't recovered so has travelled home to recover and train at Melwood when he's better."


When you're amped to take part in double sessions but then you realise that you barely make it through single sessions.

In all seriousness if this is the end of Sturridge, i really hope this is the end of Lovren as well because he also didnt travel.

Lovren won't be going anywhere but Sturridge is almost certainly a goner in the summer.

It's been obvious for a long time really.

I can't see Sturridge here next season. My only fear is him going to a Arsenal, Spurs etc and staying fit and banging them in weekly

Good player 2-3 years ago but now is finished at the highest level. Time to offer him to West Ham.

"Lovren won't be going anywhere"

Might as well kiss the title goodbye.

Yeah, I did read it like that! I do agree that he seems to be on his way out though, sadly

I know mate I'd love to keep him even as a squad player but just don't see it happeneing.

How many teams would be able to match the wages he wants and also the transfer fee Liverpool would demand?

It would only be of the big six, so that leaves just five English clubs.

Yeah people were saying the same about Benteke.

Our clubs are all loaded so we won't have trouble finding a buyer.

Terrible mentality, would fit it well at Arsenal.

Another good post, kneerash. It seems everybody but everybody who's a Red on here wants him to get better, to recover, not just his fitness, but his scoring skill. He is still, in my view, a phenomenal player, but in his last outing, towards the end, he had the speed - and the apparent commitment - of a cart horse.

The answer to the question whether he stays or goes depends on where we end up in May. If were top four, CL etc., for me, he stays. If outside top six, gone.

You think that Benteke was on the same wage as Sturridge?

Or that the club would let him go for a fee around what they paid for him?

Or that a club willing to do both would see past his injury record and take a gamble at a total price that will be beyond all but the top six clubs?

Doesn't matter if Benteke was on the same as Sturridge.

I bet this time last year you were saying we wouldn't get £25m for Benteke and would struggle to sell him.

It's the exact kind of crap you come out with.

Somebody will pay for Sturridge because football isn't and has never been rational.

You never fully answered my question. But that's not new.

60k a week and 25-30m is different to 150k a week and 25-30m

Let's see who jumps to buy a player with injury issues.

He just can't seem to get a run of games.. had the potential to be brilliant for us.

Never to be realised.
