Sturridge,
Yes a top striker when fit, when
Yes he had a good season with Luis at the side of him,
Yes we all know that he is WHEN FIT the top drawer striker we are looking for.
But, does anyone seriously think he'll ever play for us again? every single time we hear he's near fitness he's back in ten days, Klopp barely ever gets into conversation about him at all, rumours of everything from being precious to being a nutjob, now rumours and granted from the daily fail that he wants out,
What do we think? Me personally I don't think he's ever coming back, i'd like to be proven wrong as he would be great if he came back to form but I just can not see it,
If he does how long before he doesnt? Its a mystery but there's sight more to this than meets the eye and anyone who says its obvious he just wants to play football, is it? how obvious? do you personally know him? has he told you this? no thought not
I suppose we shall see.

However good he is when fit (and I agree he's a world class finisher) from my observations it seems Kloppo wants all his players to be training to the same level of intensity. Sturridge will never be able to achieve this due to either physical or mental issues.
It's better to have a player that fits the manager's style IMO.
It's a shame but unless Sturridge can change I can't see him hanging around long.

He is not injured. Klopp has said previously he wants eveyr player to complete a 10 days training programe without any break. Sturridge never completes it.

Funnily enough I just posted a paragraph stating the complete opposite! I guess no one knows what is truly going on apart from those at the club. I just think he maybe wasn't given the TLC he needed and never let his body fully recover. I do think (hope) next season will be the season we see whether he can stay fit or not, as Klopp seems to be giving him as much time as possible to recover. Be interesting to see if he makes an appearance against west Ham.

Frankly i understand how sturridge feel. Asking a fit player to train 10 more sessions is unconventional amd look like high handed military regime. Most players may have problem sucking it up if they are star players, it reeks of a manager not trustimg the player.

Seems simple enough, Klopps 10 day rule is designed to "encourage" Studge to push through twinges real or imagined in the knowledge its back to square one if he blinks.

Hopefully Studge will then appreciate not all niggles are an "injury", but instead part and parcel of life .

Leek he's not beasting them every day making them do 20km run 500 push ups etc then carry a log up a hill.

He's asking them to take part in 5 a sides, do gym work, rehab, drills, cone work, set pieces and apparebtly he's still struggling.

Whether you like it or not, if any player can't get through 10 days in a row of training, how are they ready to play? I was told by a friend with direct contact to the Liverpool physios that Sturridge is not great at his recovery work. Maybe this is Jurgen's way of ensuring he is ready because it certainly hasn't worked with the previous methods.
