I feel sorry for Sturridge, he's a very good player.  Awful luck with injuries.

Why do people think we are signing a megastar when Bruce has hinted that we are signing noone?

I think it's part what Gregg Evans is hinting at which could be utter BS, and part what Wyness came out and said in that Radio WM phone in about scouring the planet for talent and turning down RVP. It sets the mind racing in a number of different and probably unrealistic directions. As for Bruce, he's probably not going to give much away but he always ends with "you never know..." to keep mystery and intrigue in play.

The Birmingham Mail is suggesting that we, along with Wolves, are interested in Afobe from Bournemouth.

I can never feel sorry for him on account of his stupid goal celebration. It would please me to learn his never ending injuries are linked somehow to the celebration.

Absolutely this. The only more annoying goal celebration was that other Albion wanker Lee Hughes.

Klopp suggested last year I think that much of Sturridge’s issues with injuries are in his head.

Sturridge will end up at Villa at some point.

Just hope it's not a Lescott scenario.

He was at Villa as a youngster wasn't he?

Much of Klopp’s issues with talking are in his arse.

I don’t think he’s entirely wrong here though. Sometimes a player just gets it into their head that they are injury prone and the slightest thing can magnify that sense of concern. Sturridge might be the most physically unreliable yet talented striker in the PL today.

TV that was just a comment about Klopp in general. IMO he talks rubbish at times and hasn’t realised that he is the worst Liverpool manager in recent history.

What are you measuring that on?

His win percentage is the best since Rafa, he got them into the champions league in his first full season and this season has them currently in the top 4 again and in the last 16 in the champions league, I'd say he's doing a pretty decent job, certainly better than hodgson or rodgers.

Maybe levels of loan for Glenn Murray/Shane Long. Both Brighton and Southampton have brought strikers in so loan out makes sense. Danny Sturridge or Benteke  would be the wow move but more expecting the hard working solid Premier league player signings to aid promotion push

Glenn Murray might soon be getting a move to the Winson Green area of Birmingham if the papers are to be believed.

I'm only suggesting Murray or Long as potential not as players that I prefer. Both suit the situation in many respects. And are realistic as in less competition  for their loan.

Also think its poor form from Greg Evans to mention a teaser and then say day off. There is a person wanting more followers on his twitter!

Good luck to him. Best thing he did in recent history was that dramatic injury-time winner v Wales. Oh and that goal in europa league final. A player and striker of Real quality and will do okay for WBA fair play to them

I'd agree with that. I'd also say that the premiership at the top end is as strong as it's been in my opinion, with all of the top 6 having very strong squads. For Klopp to have Liverpool in 4th, and playing some very pleasing football to watch shows he is doing a good job.
