LFC legend tells BR: Forget Sturridge and sign £7m 45-goal striker instead. Agree?

Liverpool fans have mixed feelings about the imminent signing of Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge, and if the move doesn't work out, Brendan Rodgers will have spent £23m on two non-scoring strikers, which is almost Dalglish-esque when it comes to transfer failure. If the 23-year old signs, I'm sure all fans will be hoping he's a success; Reds legend Ray Houghton is no exception, but he's not convinced that Sturridge is the answer.

In an interview with Talksport today, Houghton - who played in an integral role in Liverpool's late 1980s success under Dalglish - questioned Rodgers' decision to spend £12m on Sturridge. He observed:

"I thought Liverpool were going to bring in a goalscorer! Looking at his time at Man City and Chelsea, I can’t remember him scoring that many goals. I’m not sure he’s going to make the difference and take the pressure off Luis Suarez. There must be one or two others out there for 12m. Look at Michu at Swansea for £2m".

When asked if Celtic's Gary Hooper would be a better option that Sturridge, Houghton agreed, adding:

"He [Hooper] is an interesting one. The question would be how quickly can he step up from the SPL to the Premier League. Gary is a very good footballer; outside the box, he’s someone who can link up the play, and he has a great footballing brain".

Houghton's former team-mate Steve Nicol is also not enamoured by the prospect of Sturridge coming to Anfield. ESPN:

“Daniel Sturridge [is] a good player but [he is] not proven quality. He can’t get into the Chelsea team, so why do Liverpool think he’s going to come here and set the place alight?"

Sturridge may not have played that much at Chelsea, but his overall goals/assists record is pretty good. Here are his Chelsea stats since 2009:

* Minutes played = 4236.
* Goals = 24.
* Assists = 7.
* Scores every 176 mins (1 goal every 1.9 games).
* Scores/creates a goal every 136 mins (1 every 1.5 games).

If he can come to LFC and score/create a goal ever 1.5 games then I'm sure fans will be happy with that. As for Hooper: I personally think he would be a better option, but Sturridge has a few obvious advantages over the the Celtic star:

* Sturridge has great pace, something Liverpool desperately need.
* He's comparatively experienced in the Premier League.
* No settling-in period required.

£7m-rated Hooper - who's grabbed 45 goals and 9 assists over the last season and a half - rejected a new contract with the Bhoys this week, but Neil Lennon is still confident he'll sign a new deal:

"We haven’t held new talks with his agent but the sound bites I’m getting from Gary are that he’s delighted with things and happy to stay. There has been a tentative phone call from one club and it went away. That has been it.”

Perhaps that call came from Liverpool? Perhaps Brendan Rodgers is going to spring a surprise and sign both Sturridge and Hooper? Now that would be a fantastic Christmas present (!)

  1. And btw I would go for DS instead of GH as DS has a good EPL record.

  2. Celtic beat Barcelona, what is there to up the challenge in EPL that is not already in SPL. I think Hooper would be a great signing. I am not really excited to hear the news of Sturridge. Hope he proves me wrong by scoring the goals that our chances deserve. Jamie any thoughts??? BTW happy holidays!!!

  3. Prefer GH, from what i've seen he seems more of a team player. DS could end up being another Ryan Babble!

  4. When Sturridge got regular football as he did at Bolton he goal scoring record was absolutely phenominal....!!! Let's hope he can return to that form and quickly.

  5. i wasnt shore about sturridge but the more i think about it he wants to prove he can be a top player and become a top scorer in the prem,i hope he makes chelsea regret ever letting him go so we should all get behind him and show him what top supporters and a top club is all about.

  6. Hooper and Sturridge would be awesome, so would Sturridge and Walcott. The Michu thing I think gets overblown, hindsight showed he was a steel, no one though ever takes into account all top teams pay more, as the seller bumps the price up, so chances are he would have been more like 4mil, then you got the fact for every Michu there is dozens who do nothing, it is easy to look now he has worked out and go, we should have signed him, but clearly it was as crystal as people make out, otherwise I`m sure Chelsea, Man City, Barca, Utd, etc would have all been after him. Hindsight is great aint it.

  7. Those stats also show what I have been saying for ages, when played he scores. I imagine his Bolton stats were even better. Yet people still moan about him not being good enough etc.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I reckon he can, we create a lot of chances, we just often seem to be lacking in having someone who has that killer edge, who wants to score not pass. Sturridge has that. The other thing though maybe that it isnt just about strikers, it is about build up play. Minus the last game, we have generally been very slow at the build up play, so by the time we get to there box, they got all 11 men behind it. I think this also happens from playing keep ball. It drives the other team back, more and more, actually making it harder for you to find the holes to run through and score, and means your pushed up more, thus counters happen a lot more. Which if you see our games reflects what happens so often. 70% of the time the ball is with us, then out of nowhere they score on the counter against the run of play. I`m hoping this is just down to our front line not being good enough, and Sturridge will hopefully be just one part of improving that.

  9. the good news sterling has signed a 5 year contract. so now lets sell him to the highest bidder .drivin round in a bentley at 18 ! pending court case ! this kid spells trouble. owen and rooney at 18 were light years a head of him.think we should get shut. not good enough for the 1 st team never mind england. another pennant in the making.

  10. Really? SPL don't have 2 matches against the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Everton every year (all better teams than Celtic) that too after excluding cup matches. With Rangers out of the equation they don't have even competitor....but that's irony coz they are not quite dominating SPL as they should be. Yes they won against Barcelona and I know they will keep bragging it all decade about it. It was like Chelsea winning Champions League against Bayern Munich...even though they are European Champions on paper no one really appreciates them...did not even qualify for knockouts this year with an improved 100mn squad. Long story short, a single fluke win doesn't make any team world beater overnight. SPL will never be EPL, ever.

  11. Sturridge is going to cause some problem. His demands is already putting quite a few people as if he is at par with Messi, Ronaldo or Suarez. He sounds like he savior n go above Suarez. Drop him. I wish we had taken Berbatov . We need someone to compliment Suarez . There are many other better strikers than ok Sturridge who's already putting the club at ransome. Just think what he'll be like if he does help n make the difference. Ya, it will be justified. BUt what if he doesn't. Nah... the attitude just isn't right. BR should come up with a clause for those who demands this or that. For every/a couple of chances noy put away, a certain sum of money will be taken off theirt salary.Or something.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I really wish Walcott comes to LFC...the guy is showing real hunger off late and has single-handedly saved Arsenal season so far...no wonder Wenger keeps on talking about him in media. I hope he doesn't sign new contract before we at least bid for him...

    Oh and btw, we lost Klaas...he signed a new deal with Schalke..good. I don't like him.

  14. I am just trying to prove a point that SPL has quality players that can easily perform in EPL. I understand SPL is not at the level of EPL and I agree. However, the point here is whether Hooper can challenge for his place at Liverpool. I believe he certainly can. Look at the likes of Jelevic, Arteta, Petrov, Steven Fletcher etc. I would rather prefer Hooper over Sturridge though Sturridge has played for Chelsea and City and not to mention Bolton where he had his best spell. Also, I am not a celtic fan or such but their win over Barcelona was not a fluke. Their resilience deserved to win that game. On your other thoughts, Chelsea winning CL, I would rather say Drogba won CL for them.

  15. As a Chelsea fan I am glad to see Sturridge go, greedy and arrogant without the ability to back it up. Irony is he is so up himself he fails to see that he could be a world class winger if he passed the ball and didnt shoot every five seconds, all the goals he scored were on the wings, he doesnt have the mental capacity to challenge against two centre backs who will muscle him out, thank God he is freeing up space to bring some real talent in, good luck scousers.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Funny thing is people had no problem with Carroll's over inflated transfer & unproven record. Yet we have a striker rated by Mancini, who has stated a number of times that it was a mistake letting him leave City. Sturridge not getting into the Chelsea squad mans diddly squat, this guy out scored Torres last season with less game time plus the fact is abramovic has a clear agenda to get the best out of Torres. Torres last season was picked irrespective of form then there's Benitez Chelski mission to get Torres scoring. We call Sturridge a Chelsea reject, apart from Saurez, Gerrard, ?Agger who else would get into their 1st 11?
    Sturridge is hungry, pace, skilful, scores even though selection is sporadic & he's young. Ingredients which can only benefit LFC.

  17. Its funny and sad in the same time that we never look to sign class players since suarez two years ago, what happened to this clubs ambitions, are we always going to sign un proved young so called talents? Such a sad story we are full of average players even worse than that, when will these yanks learn that we must get back to CL, its been years now we are not there its enough its unacceptable anymore, wake up yanks or go, I think we as fans should re unite once more just like we did against gillet and hicks, call that director who made that movie to do it again, no more yanks here let some arabs take over.Im

  18. DS record for bolton and chelski is 32 goals out of 61 games. Buy Hooper too! To challenge for Top 4, 3 or 4 outright goal scorers are a must.

  19. £12 million on a player who has never been a team player, be interesting to see how he gels with Suarez who has a huge work rate..

  20. no manager is at chelski long enough to take him in hand

  21. And now were signing a moody mate for him!
    But to say he is not good enough for the first team is a bit crazy mate, you seen the quality of some of our first team??

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah matey, I would love to get Walcott. He is my first choice, I don`t think it will happen though, and have a feeling he is just stalling to get more money in his new deal.

    ReplyDelete
  23. His demands??? On what evidence is there he has made any? All I have seen is media stuff, based on no actual source.

    ReplyDelete
  24. While I agree with you, the only thing I would add is that I don`t think many were happy at all about the over inflated fee we paid for Carroll, but once he was signed, he was a LFC player, so what choice is there but to support him (at least for a while to see if he can do it).

  29. I never thought of it like that. I was just looking at the football side of it, but the rumors are, and they are only rumors, that Sterling is a bit of a handful. If Sturridge is too it could cause problems off the field, if they get into the drinking scene.

    That all said, Im sure BR must feel they will be ok, or he wouldn`t keep one and sign the other!

    In regards to the Bentley comment from Billy, I don`t see whats wrong with that at all. Lets be honest I would have loved to when I was 18, so I`m not gunna hate on the lad for enjoying his money. Every young lads dream is to have a awesome car, If he can afford it then what is wrong with that?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sturridge deal looks like almost complete so no point moaning about him but still need to sign another striker hopefully a proven goalscorer, Ba is the most realistic quality player we can get . Haven't seen Hooper play much so don't know how good he is but from his videos he looks more like a hardworking striker with instincts similar to Kuyt but lacking the class.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like Sturridge. I like the price range of players we are signing, if Sturridge don't work out we still can sell him for 6-8 Mill lost 4 mill. Its a better strategy than buying unproven players for 20-30 mill pounds then having to sell them for 10-15 mill pounds and lose up to 15 mill pounds. That is another player just lost right there. The squad is showing signs of understanding Rodger's scheme and when the squad is filled out you can make the gamble and sign a big player who is gonna get us over the hump. Im glad we have changed strategy, its pointless for us to be massively outspending the like of Stoke, New Castle, and Swansea etc only to be struggling to finish above them in the league table. Liverpool fans should know better than anyone, money doesn't buy you points. Daglish proved that. It's about buying the right players to do a job that we have no players to do, no matter what he costs. Sturridge will add a totsl new dimension to our attack and playing with players like Suarez and Gerrard will make him better instantly. And also Rodgers seems good imo of developing players to their potential. Its time we start buidling our own stars and stop having to go out and spend monumental fees for them or we will head down the road of Malaga....again.

  32. Sturridge is a decent signing for sure. He has pace, skill confidence. What will make or break his move if it does go through is whether he is ready to put the hours in improving his game and dedicating his efforts into improving as a footballer because since he came on the scene at city his progression has stalked. As an lfc fan I'm fed up of drifters. I want committed players who really want to play for lfc and get us back toward the top of the prem and in champions league. So it's up to him and only him to make this move work.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It doesn't matter to Chelsea supporters if Sturridge scores lots of goals or no goals for Liverpool – they are just happy to be rid of him. He is disliked by supporters and teammates alike for his sour attitude, his greedy play and his self-indulgence. He plays for himself, sometimes providing a fancy flick or a turn of pace, but always with himself in mind, never his colleagues. He's like the show-off in a Sunday park game, thinking he's a couple of levels above everyone else and ignoring better-placed teammates in favour of shooting from ridiculous angles. There's a difference between being single-minded about scoring goals like Jimmy Greaves, and being a fool who thinks he is Jimmy Greaves but isn't. Sturridge isn't interested in Liverpool or Chelsea or any player at either club, except himself.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes a new striker would be great. But my real hope is that Lucas stays healthy. With him there we have a much better attack and it allows Gerrard to play more of an attacking role. Gerrard's passing ability is too good to not have him in attack. I like Joe Allen but he goes for the safe pass more often than not and we need to make the incisive pass at the second it presents itself...not 2 seconds after the door closes. That's what Gerrard offers that Allen doesn't...yet.

    ReplyDelete
  35. For a striker we need to have someone who isn't going to get muscled off the ball like Walcott or or any other 68 inch tall, 155 lb striker. I think the world of Sterling, but when he gest close in with the ball a big defender just shoulder bumps him off balance and the attack is over. We need some heft in there. We had heft with Carroll, but unfortunately that is all he offered.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Could it be because someone wasted truck loads of money on Carroll, Henderson, Downing etc instead of Aguero, or Falcao who cost about the same amount?

    ReplyDelete
  37. When I started following Liverpool in the 70s, we never had internet, therefore we never had to listen to idiots spewing bile on said internet that we never had. We also never had football manager games where everyone became an instant genius at running a football team.

    What we did, though, was support our players when they came to Anfield: no matter which club they signed from.

    John Barnes - Watford
    John Aldridge - Oxford
    Jamie Redknapp - Bournmouth
    Steve McMahon - Villa
    Steve Staunton - Dundalk
    John Wark - Ipswich
    Jan Molby - Ajax
    Gary Gillespie - Coventry
    Kenny Dalglish - Celtic
    Phil Neal - Northampton
    Alan Hansen - Partick Thistle
    Graeme Souness - M'Boro
    Kevin Keegan - Scunthorpe
    Emelyn Hughes - Blackpool
    John Toshack - Cardiff

    I'm behind Sturridge, he was awesome at Bolton when he was given a run in their first team. Brendan knows him from his time at Chelsea, so he's not taking a blind leap of faith. He knows the lad's potential, he knows that he'll fit into the system and he also knows that he'll be ruthless in front of goal - something we've been lacking since before Torres went on a slump.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Sturridge was just beginning to show he can cut it in the league until RDM took over, he can be selfish but he's a centre forward and most forwards are selfish and Suarez can be the most selfish out of the lot but we love him for it! Sturridge is coming from a top 4 team not like Downing, Carroll and others who came from midtable and lower also has been managed by Ancelotti and AVB which are other pluses to him signing.

  41. Didn't Fergie ban players under the age of 23 at Man U from getting the top of the range Chevrolet Corvettes to stop it going to their heads? Sterling has been holding a gun to the club for ages now Dalglish tried to teach him patiences and so has Rodgers. Now he has signed we have more control over him now but he has to start scoring and weighing in with assists to back up his wages now and age can't be used as an excuse for him we want the same returns has Owen and Fowler if he wants senior wages!

  44. Rodgers won't know about Sturridge he was manager at Watford in 08/09 season when Sturridge signed in 09 season for Chelsea but your right we should get behind Sturridge he has a lot going for him.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Your all reading too much into stories in the media that are effectively made up! Listen to what people who know Sturridge and have worked with him have to say. Owen Coyle said he wasn't a problem at Bolton, a hard worker and team player. Quite frankly I'm more inclined to believe Owen Coyle than a journalist who's salary depends on selling controversial stories, who has no connection with the players they write about whatsoever.

  51. Sturridge can be a good buy for LFC, especially with His pace $ strength he will be able to play well with SUarez $ Raheem $ also with the Kind of support you get from the LFC fans,I think he would perform better than borini with time. Just like Glen Jhonson who has grown to be one of the best full backs in europe after leavn chealsea to porthsmouth $ then signed for us. Dont also forget that this is just the January transfer window that we are talkn about $ u know its difficult to get all the players you'll have wanted at good prices so lets wish BR, sturridge $ LFC the best. I wish all LFC fans $ players mery Xmas

  53. To be fair pal im not sure hes been bought as an out and out striker. I reckong hell be played on the wing and brought into central roles when Suarez needs a rest. Hes played well enough there to keep his position this season. Happy hols to you to JK. I love this site. I pretty much disagree with 70% of your posts. Id rather hear honesty than some of the luvvy nonsense i hear on other sites. :)

  64. Sturridge wants to leave Chelsea it isn't the other way around. I'd encourage any Liverpool fan to watch this youtube video called:

    Daniel Sturridge - Holiday Assembly
    (watch?v=t6HoKQynQuI).


    It really showcases Sturridges skill on the ball in general play. Yes he is arrogant and narcissistic but he is young, sublimely talented and Rodgers seems adept at handling big ego's on boys (take Raheem Sterling for example). It also bodes well that ALOT of Chelsea fans are more than a little uneasy about Sturridge leaving and Torres staying.

    ReplyDelete
  65. When Sturridge is 'the man' like he was at Bolton for his 8 goals in 12 he proved to be a runaway success. I think this will be a terrific signing for us. Sturridge fits in perfectly with the Philosophy of our side and proved it is a system he feels comfortable in with the way he performed for Owen Coyles Bolton who at the time adopted the same footballing philosophy we do today. The kid likes to play in footballing sides and at 23 WILL only get better.

    He is the 'forgotten man' and this is reflected in his price. He'll make people remember what he's all about if he is played centrally and then we'll have a £25 million striker on our hands.

  69. Sturridge can be good for Liverpool . Brendon Rodger's Rodgers performance in the transfer market while at Liverpool has been nothing short of abysmal.

    Although Liverpool overpaid for Caroll , they should bring him back to support Suarez and Sturridge in attack .

    Liverpool's play earlier this season was great . Liverpool were clearly the better side against leaders Man Utd [ the referee's favourite team or maybe they just scared of Sir Alex ] , Man City and Arsenal yet we won none of those games .

    Perhaps David Villa will come in the close season

    ReplyDelete
  70. Nice one, Jake, not letting a good story get in the way of the facts.
    Look at Lucas and what he's become from how he started. He had to find his feet, not only in a new league but in a new continent. His potential was spotted and the club knew what they were getting and what he'd become. Sturridge is 23, he's sort of proven himself with his spell at Bolton and he'll be even better with us due to our style of play. I hope he gets the numuber 9 shirt and cements his place along side the legendary number 9s of the past.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I don't see him coming in to Liverpool thinking he's 'the man', as he'll know all about the rest of his new team mates but, if I was him, I'd be thinking "I want that", with "that" being the adulation we afford to our players when they play well. That support and the support from the manager and the rest of the team will bolster his confidence and it'll be an upward spiral. It's simple psychology: if he is narcissistic and egotistical and is after brownie points, scoring goals will get them and the more he scores, the more adulation he will receive. If he wants to be held in the same esteem as Robbie Fowler, then all he has to do is score goals like Robbie Fowler. Simples.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I didn't realise he was 6'2": he has fantastic balance and a very low centre of gravity. After watching that highlight reel, with his trickery and pace, Sturrige, Suarez & Sterling can be a formidable force for a while!

    ReplyDelete
  73. In my honest opinion I think is a good buy for the following reasons:-
    Proven PL player
    Has pace and is hungry for goals
    the only reason he is out at the moment at Chelsea is that they know he wants off.
    For 12 mil (not my money I know) but a better bargain than Caroll!
    HE HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE, which is more important

    and at LFC he will do that

  76. Good article. Sturridge will most likely turn out to be a waste of money. Rodgers has had ample enought time to look out for a world class goal scorer; a world class player on the level of Suarez and Gerrard and the only name that keeps coming up is that of Sturridge. If Rogers gets it wrong this time (remember Borini), he deserves all the stick that he is going to get; especially if we don't make the top four in the Premiership.
