Sturridge was not sold by Chelsea because of injuries, they didn't need him with many strikers on their books, they even loaned him out.

Yes we have! Check his stats before last season. As I've already said, he was between 60% - 70% appearance rate until last season. Like I said, there was nothing to suggest he was injury prone and if there was, why would it not be picked up in his medical?

It was something like 22% last year and he's played 3 of 9 this I think. Not great but before that it wasn't so bad. And I bet Chelsea would've liked his goals in 2013/2014 season so they might not think it was great to sell him.

Maybe. But it seems to me that he gets injured in training mostly, as he did this time.

60-70% appearance rate is impressive for a person employed in the top tier of an industry which costs fans millions to even gaze upon?!! Please, get real. If we were talking about boxing or rugby - massive contact sports - I could understand that argument, but no. The injury rate of "professional footballers" is simply ridiculous.

We weren't though. Check his injury record previous to last season and there's nothing to suggest he was injury prone. Played in excess of 60% or 70% of our games previous to last season (something I saw on the BBC I think).

He's our best strike by a country mile so why bother selling him? You're all right in saying we wouldn't get much for him now so who could we buy as good with the money? He cost us a measly (by todays standards) £11m. It's not like he's on 200k a week ether so is completely pointless to sell. And imagine we did and he stays fit ala Van Persie from Arsenal to Utd, scores a hat full and then there'll be uproar.


Before this season he was available for 66 of 122 games or 55%.
He has been made 3 appearances this season out of a possible 14.

That probably takes him to around 50% availability wise. When you look at the injuries that have kept him out the only one missing is post natal depression.

He is either a hypochondriac or made of chocolate. Either way his injury record is horrendous.

We cannot rely on him and he is unfortunately little more than very talented bit part player.

No one in their right mind would buy him as he just can't be relied upon, so we are stuck with him and his endless list of ailments.

Harsh, but very sadly true.

Injury wise, how's he compare to Kewell I wonder?

Did I say it was impressive? It's not so bad for me considering people think he goes out for a broken nail. And are footballers not allowed to get injured in this non-contact sport?

And that is mainly due to last season. Previous to that he wasn't that bad. You should have a look at how many other players have lots of lay off's. He's far from the only one that is 'injury prone'.
