Liverpool Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of striker Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea. More on http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/liverpool-complete-sturridge-signing

Should be about £1.8m for City. We're rich, biatch!

 

[elseanio]

His first game will likely be away to United, unless he comes on in the FA cup.. no pressure!

 

[bud]

sturridge? christ. he's awful.

my guess is that liverpool only bought him because they desperately need a striker.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

That's the sweater of a 10 goal a season striker.

Probably right. Stupid signing. Man I hate my team right now.

I don't like all the conflicting opinions! Who has the final say?

 

[Kyoufu]

So

Sterling --- Suarez --- Sturridge

 

[Clegg]

I wouldn't say he's awful.

He's an alright player.

He's a greedy bugger though.

 

[Willkiller]

Liverpool making a clear statement their long term goal is mediocrity.

 

[Keio]

Ba. I'm more gutted than I should feel. Going from a "no future, dodgy knee" to hottest ticket in the Prem and getting sold for pennies? I can't help but hope that we are seeing another Andy Carroll move (without the exorbitant transfer fee of course).

 

[bud]

twelve million pounds for sturridge

...

help me understand

 

[Yurt]

So

Sterling --- Suarez --- Sturridge

Sterling - Suarez - Sturridge

Sahin - Suso.

 

[Fry]

Sterling - Suarez - Sturridge

Sahin -Sneijder - Suso.

lol

 

[operon]

I think the biggest reason why Sturridge isa selfish player is because he got so few opportunities to play for Chelsea he had to try to score as much as he good to get a place on the team. Its quite hard when any manger who drops Torres gets the boot

 

[Clegg]

Sterling - Suarez - Sturridge

Sahin - Suso.

Sterling - Suarez- Sturridge

---------- Shelvey

----------Sahin------- Suso

Sebastián Coates in D next to Skrtel.

AHAHA holy shit

 

[bud]

sturridge seems too lazy to play on the wings.

 

[Carbonox]

Ba. I'm more gutted than I should feel. Going from a "no future, dodgy knee" to hottest ticket in the Prem and getting sold for pennies? I can't help but hope that we are seeing another Andy Carroll move (without the exorbitant transfer fee of course).

I will laugh if he gets injured straight off the bat for Chelsea.

And all we did was not buckle to Ba's demands for 10k or however much more added to his existing contract.

Fucking football players.

The counter argument to this would be Defoe.

Spat out my cider :lol :lol

 

[Hixx]

So Chelsea have sold Sturridge for £12m

And replaced him with a better player for £5m less.

Nice!

 

[LegoArmo]

Liverpool should bring back Spearing.

Agent fees. 5mil for the agents...

 

[Messi]

Spat out my cider :lol :lol

It's 3:30 on a wednesday. Do we need an intervention?

 

[Broder Salsa]

I will laugh if he gets injured straight off the bat for Chelsea.

You won't laugh when we then come for Cisse.

 

[bud]

liverpool should buy gervinho while they're at it.

he brings pace and vision which they are so desperately lacking.

 

[Mastadon]

The counter argument to this would be Defoe.

I know what you mean, but Defoe is older and more experienced. Must be frustrating for Sturridge coming off the back of that successful loan spell with Bolton, only never to be given a run in the team.

 

[Kyoufu]

It's 3:30 on a wednesday. Do we need an intervention?

I'm mourning the loss of Ba.

 

[Hixx]

Agent fees. 5mil for the agents...

I thought they 'just' get a chunk of the £7.5m transfer fee?

No fucking way on earth are Chelsea giving his agent(s) £5m.

 

[Kyoufu]

Nah, agents are getting a payday. It's crazy.

 

[Carbonox]

Sure I will, cos I know if you sign him in the Summer, he won't score until January at the earliest!

 

[GorillaJu]

Nah, agents are getting a payday. It's crazy.

What the fuck is a Z doing in this word?

 

[Yurt]

I'm mourning the loss of Ba.

Cisse is better.

 

[GQman2121]

He's celebrated goals in a much more pretentious matter than that one. I think that gif is just so easily available though and it's a good quality video.

 

[Kyoufu]

What the fuck is a Z doing in this word?

Sorry. Shit is cray.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Sure I will, cos I know if you sign him in the Summer, he won't score until January at the earliest!

Nah January is when Ba and Cisse leaves again, when Falcao the dolphin fucker comes.

 

[Sleepy]

liverpool should buy gervinho while they're at it.

They can have him for free.

 

[ShogunX]

I know what you mean, but Defoe is older and more experienced. Must be frustrating for Sturridge coming off the back of that successful loan spell with Bolton, only never to be given a run in the team.

He was given a run in the team.

The season (Last season) after he came back from Bolton he played 30 matches in the league scoring 11 goals and getting 5 assists.

I suspect his form last season is what is dictating the fee along with his age and nationality.

 

[GorillaJu]

Halo's music is terrible pretentious garbage.

 

[José Mourinho]

[Salvadora]

Didn't Gervinho have a stat earlier in the season in which he'd scored every shot he had on target whilst playing as a striker? Seems like the right move for him.

 

[bud]

They can have him for free.

if carroll is worth thirty five million pounds, then gervinho is worth at least double that amount

 

[Messi]

Tito was at barcas training session today. Amazing to see him back around do soon. Hope all is well for him.

Also, I wonder if Abidal will play any part vs Espanyol?

 

[GorillaJu]

if carroll is worth thirty five million pounds, then gervinho is worth at least double that amount

Carroll is worth Torres minus 15m.

 

[Mastadon]

He was given a run in the team.

The season (Last season) after he came back from Bolton he played 30 matches in the league scoring 11 goals and getting 5 assists.

I suspect his form last season is what is dictating the fee along with his age and nationality.

I'd imagine he didn't start many of those 30 matches though? 11 goals and 5 assists from the wing isn't terrible either.

 

[K1LLER7]

Henriquez will play his first game for Wigan on Saturday in the FA Cup. Hope he has a good game. Looks a decent player.

 

[Meier]

I thought they 'just' get a chunk of the £7.5m transfer fee?

No fucking way on earth are Chelsea giving his agent(s) £5m.

Haven't you played FM? Agents get a big ol payday on transfers and it's on top of the actual fee to buy the player. Ba's £7.5m (or £7m depending on who you believe) transfer will cost around £12.5m according to all of the news reports as his "advisors" are demanding another £5m. His wages will actually be pretty manageable if that £80k per week fee is to be believed. Ba has a £2m loyalty bonus that Newcastle have to pay in full regardless of whether he moves so they're going to net about £5m from this at most.

At least here in America, agents (well, the company they work for) get a percentage of their clients' wages as well typically. Maybe 10-15%.

 

[RibbedHero]

Carroll is worth Torres minus 15m.

So you'd have to be paid to take Carroll on?
