Can't really argue with any of that. I do wonder how much of Sturridge's wages Liverpool are covering - if any, of course. Lennon is - or certainly was - a better winger than anything we've got (and of course would have sent NSC into ecstasy if that meant we could give away poor old Skalak!). As...
Looks like our scouts should have kept a closer eye on Merseyside - Sturridge on loan would have been great for us, and across Stanley Park Lennon and Barkley were on the 'for sale' list too - although I guess wages would have been a problem, especially for Barkley.
Just had a quick flick through our results, and I think I've got this stat right (just to spread the doom and gloom still further!) -
West Brom. without a win in 20 matches, Brighton have not lost to a team below them in the league since September.........eeek!
Sorry!
