Never posted an old-school rumour before but this is as close as I've ever come to one so thought i'd share with you guys.

I got chatting to a lad down in Bierkeller the other day who said his friend works at Melwood. He said contrary to what you hear from him in the press, Milner is REALLY unhappy about playing left back. One way or another, it looks like this will not be continuing after January regardless of how well he plays there.

He also mentioned Arsenal's interest in Sturridge on deadline day, said that DS 'hates' Klopp, and that they had a bit of a bust up after the game at Burton when he was unhappy about being brought on with no time to do anything (though I assume the lad actually meant the Tottenham game when he came on in the 88th minute. He was an Evertonian himself, so) .

Pretty much nothing we couldn't already have guessed but i thought i'd share anyway. I've extracted a wealth of knowledge from this site over the years so time to give back what I can!

Thanks joe.

A lot can change before Jan, so we'll see how this plays out. If we're 10 points clear at the top that might improve Milner's mood 😃.

At the end of the day, it looks like Milner will have to lump it. Can't see us spending on a new left back in January (unless Milner has an absolute shocker) and given Milner's wages I can't see anyone being interested in taking him on, so it's a Mexican stand off.

the situation with sturridge could come to a head in January, especially if he keeps getting overlooked in the strikers role, milner will be nothing but professional about his situation.

Been told the Sturridge to Arsenal rumour on deadline day is rubbish. Certainly from our perspective anyway.

i like milner and we do miss his crosses and passes when he is in midfield, and would we really miss sturridge if he is going to be injured all the time any way, not since suarez was with us have we had more than 10 games from sturridge, i understand he is unhappy but as far as i cam make out some of his injuries are in his head or he won't play if he does not feel a 100% even though the doctors have said he is fit, i would sell sturridge because we would get a very good price for him and also he is injured too much i would love another player like suarez whos attitude was he just wanted to play all the time he did not worry if he had a little niggle and he gave his all and never held anything back were as i think sturridge won't sprint or run like he used to do maybe he has been told not to sprint to much or run too much

its a pity we never got a quality or decent left back in the transfer window then instead of having a few players un happy we would on have moreno unhappy.

Sell Sturridge. Get Suarez. I like it! Maybe a few technical issues, safly.

Yeah Shanks, my personal opinion based on what i've read on here was that Liverpool were never interested in the Sturridge deal. I hope our relationship with him is not irreparable.

I get what you're saying mbrock but i for one would like to see if he can play his way back to the pace and form he had that season before looking to sell. Especially to a rival. Even now when he's not burning past defenders like he used to he scores goals at a ridiculous rate. We won't buy better.

Sturridge isn't Suarez, but he is Sturridge, which isn't bad either. On form he walks into any premier league team. You can't get another Suarez, but i think we have looked to bring in players with the same energetic attitude to surround DS.

If Studge wants to leave because he can't put on his big boy pants and get on with it, then he can leave, quite frankly. He's 27 already and obviously needs to grow up and get stuck in. He's a very good player and to me, the best natural finisher in the PL, hands down. However, Klopp doesn't care about any of that as clearly, Studge either isn't ready or his body won't allow him to do what Klopp asks Firmino and Origi to do as in, press the defence and harry them. If either of these is the case then he has a decision to make.

think this season will make or break Sturridge, if he is not getting enough game time, if he is not scoring enough goals, if his work rate doesn't improve, then I can see him moving on, to a London club maybe . just hope things change for the better, because when he is scoring, he is one of the best .
