Perhaps he wants to follow in the family footsteps of Dean and Simon ? Dean never played for us. Or am I not following.. Sorry my bad but I’m sure we have had two Sturrages or is my mind playing tricks

Says he wants to play in England, preferably in the Prem. I know his name has been flying around on twitter as a long-shot target. Does anyone think he's got anything to offer at this stage of his career? Doesn't seem to make any sense on paper with Campbell/Brown and our gaggle of high-earning other forwards. But if we could shift a few, would he be worth a go on the right deal - whatever the right deal is for a 31 year-old with his injury record. His legs are made of crisps so for that reason I’m out 😎

Have to say, hard to see us being dull if we could field a Sturridge-Fletcher-Campbell front line. I think we’d be mad to turn him down if we could get him on a pay as you play - surely miles ahead of Vokes/Gregory even in his current state.

Can't see why any Premier League club who would need him and his injury record
I'd struggle to see many clubs who would be able to afford him in the Championship with the associated injury risk.
I'd take him if the financial package was right for the club mind.

Far too much agreement in this thread.
What's happening? I feel odd.

I really hope we will stay away from this one as he will cost a fortune for every game he plays! He is just a walking INJURY!

Can see it now! I would take a 12 month chance on him though, could be useful. He would turn out to be another Boney. Not for me. He could turn out to be another Ric

I'd have no problem as someone above has said if the package was right. Not like we're blessed with goals. No idea who we have similar with his fantastic scoring record...

Fitness, attitude and possible wage demands all questionable. Proven goalscorer though. Do we want to press the gamble button ? Should be having a conversation with him at least IMO

See that Suarez completed his move to Atletico Madrid today. Interesting to see a fairly dynamic former strike pair both moving on and still trying to extend their careers.

on the right deal any day of the week with his big money moves in the past he should be set up life so if it's just about playing then why the hell not!

Kidsgrove is probably about his level fitness-wise.

A) He won't be coming to Stoke
B) 31?! I didn't realise he was that old. Doesn't seem that long ago since he moved from Man City to Chelsea and was a hot prospect.
Good player blighted by injuries. Shame. Him and Suarez were electric together.

The worst montage video ever, even Berahinos is better than that! True, slim pickings when he's only on the pitch now and again though! This one's a bit better and you can see the quality - but Christ knows who'd take the gamble on him and what kind of deal he'd be expecting.

Sturridge would be a great player for Campbell to play with and learn from. The same goes for most players in Turkey in the time he had I think. There's a 2-week winter break in January, and by the end of February, Sturridge was banned.

Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s been an underrated striker over the years and if he was offered I’d defo have him for a season provided Vokes or Gregory go. It’s just an awful advertisement for a player😬

For a striker he looks a great midfielder 😉 One penalty and one goal was it in that montage? Great left foot mind.

Not for me, we need to slowly overhaul an ageing squad, let’s see where we are by Christmas. Expecting to Finnish anywhere from 15th to 9th, can’t see how he changes that
