No to Sturridge, not worth £40m and the genuis of Sol Campbell!


TRANSFER TALK


It seems Tottenham have been negotiating forever to reduce the Pau Lopez fee with Sports Witness giving us regular reports of their favourite topics it seems. The latest from them is that the deal may well be concluded in a week.


Squawka are shouting whether Liverpool will let us sign Daniel Sturridge, we don't want him chaps, he is selfish, doesn't like to pass, doesn't do the donkey work our system requires, is too old for us and is injury prone.In short, he doesn't suit our system. He can't handle the Liverpool high pressing game, why would he handle ours?

The 27-year-old (28 in September) isn't worth anywhere near £40 million. He is only under contract until 2019 and scored just 6 Premier league goals this season. Apart from his calf injury, he has a long-term hip injury.

He missed the first game of the season with it, then he missed games in February with it and then returned and was out with it again in March. Given we haven't seen Eric Lamela since October, we hardly need to spend £40 million on another perennially injured player.

You can't expect Sol Campbell to grasp such a basic concept, not the fact the Toni Kroos isn't for sale. He suggests we sign that type of player, it certainly takes a genius to work out signing a world class passing midfielder would make us better. Thanks for the rocket science Sol, now crawl back under whichever rock you came from under.
