I would love to see Sturridge come to SJP either permanently or on loan, but I cannot see us paying him £70k per week.
I would expect the fee to be around £18 million which, strangely, I can see Mike Ashley paying, even though he wants to buy cheap, develop and sell on at a profit. But I cannot see him paying anyone £70k pw anymore.

I wonder how the loan deal with Bolton was structured, because I cannot imagine them being able to pay £70k pw for a loaned player.
