All games including representing 15 minute appearences in your stats fiction as full performances to get your .25 gtg ratio. For the FA cup he's .46 goals per 90 mins and league cup 1.0 per 90 mins. Both of which are well over .25 Sturridge is easily over a goal every two games ratio. Given he's only had one full season with us, a half season and this mess of a season for him, he's done great, better than he has at any other club in his career, ergo, he has improved. No doubt PJ won't like this factual reply tho he liked your fictional story. A perfect example of someone deluding themselves actually
His injury record since joining us as been appalling... ...so much for us being very good at managing injury prone player
We don't even get that on a Sunday. Someone squirts water on you so you have to play the rest of the game in pain and in a squelching sock!
Studge has talked about a his problem, family genetics apparently, an issue like that can lead to other injuries. It's hardly our fault, we've done everything we can and he seems to get injured just from running and pushing himself more than anything else.
when you start going on records like that Torres was pretty good at chelsea then. He got a goal every 0.393 games if we dont include his sub appearances!!.
So for PJS's benefit - he loves talking about money - who's had [so far] best value for money? I think even with the injuries, Sturridge has re-paid us in CL money.
Surely you can't put a true value on them until their respective club careers are over? For example, Lukaku could get twenty goals season for the next four years and then leave for free whereas Studge's injury record contninues but still gets double figures each time before some crazy ****er comes in and pays £30m for him. Lukaku's cost (excluding wages which will probably be similar) would have been £28m whereas Studge would have been -£18m, a clear winning in the 'most valuable' stakes. Obviously, this is all hypothetical before someone jumps on the unrealistic nature of this post.
