No... But I'm not an accountant. If I were an accountant at Liverpool I'd be concerned we're spending how much a year for someone only at peak fitness and conditioning for 6 games a year.

Forgetting money though he's not terrible.

An accountant would also want to protect the asset on the balance sheet ;)

Whether fit or not, Daniel Sturridge keep on depreciating, if provision for depreciation on other players is 10 per cent
Sturridge one should be 25 percent. Residual value of Daniel Sturridge cannot be calculated accurately due to injury record.

The original outlay on Studge was only £12m about six years ago, it will have more or less depreciated by now!

long since yes. each contract he signed halped that but the issue is value for wages... which we've got nothing back on the pitch for.

Players values are amortized (written down) over their original contract length. So if he signed a 4 yr deal when he arrived for £12m then his intangible asset value will have been written down by £3m per annum, and after the 4 years his value on the balance sheet is therefore £0.

This fact is what people don't seem to grasp when talking about net spend and FFP. As a club could spend say £100m in the financial year on 5 players @£20m each and all on 5 yr deals. The cost shown for these transactions in the accounts is the amortization (write down value) so in year 1 that would be a cost of £20m. If in the same period they sell a player who's either a homegrown or a player who is beyond their initial contract length for £20m, then the net increase in the cost of their player trading would be £0 in that financial year.

True. However, when they sign a new contract whatever is remaining is then spread over that contact.

For example...

Signed for £12m over 4yrs = £3m per year.

Signs a new deal after two years. Worth on the books at that point is £6m. The new deal is also 4yrs. It now depreciates by £1.5m per year.

And so on...
 
Could we be approaching the end for Studge now?

Surely this cant continue?
 
While I feel sorry for Daniel Sturridge,another injury yesterday has gone too far.I hope he will be back soon or another season on the sideline?.

I think we should just accept that Studge is just like this and forget about it. Solanke seems a good player, Firmino will lead the line in most games. Studge will come in and out and be cover for both.

What I like about Studge is his technique to beat an offside trap. He is brilliant at picking positions on the fringe of the defender and from there it's the composure to finish. Origi can learn alot but I guess some of these skills come naturally and can't be taught. Shame about his injury record as he'd be a top top player

If it weren't for his injuries, He would be world class.

Hopefully the injury isn't serious, I reckon he will play a big part.
