And if he proves his fitness during the loan? - that would be, I assume, the point of the loan.

Still wouldn't risk it.

The man's made of glass. Always breaking down (for years now) and Klopp has questioned his attitude/mental strength too.

We're already at such a disadvantage in terms of what wages we can pay and to bring a player in on 120 odd k - let's face it, he's not coming down here for any less - for a player who will mostly be injured would be bizarre and too big a gamble imo.

Fair enough, I agree to a point, I'm as sceptical as you are about him, but a loan is the best for everyone to see if he can manage to stay fit or not. If he comes down, proves himself, then I wouldn't be adverse to signing him. BUT he has to prove himself first.

I understand the point you're making. But even if he stays fit during the loan you can guarantee he will still pick up injuries throughout the rest of his career.

It's a shame really as when fit and firing he's a fantastic footballer. Just always going to be one of those players.

Just so we all know, Sturridge isn't coming anywhere near here. Apart from salary, he is the best bench player in the league, for a club who are planning on challenging for the league title. He's of high utility to them.
 
Surely with it being the end of Novemeber and transfer rumours becoming more frequent its time for the winter transfer rumour thread.
 
Good stuff should be a cracking view :)

Really looking forward to going to the Emirates. Be weird being so far from the other Saints fans though & looking down on corporates.
My uncle has a box at the Emirates, that he rents out. May ask if I can have it for the game.
