der Berliner 3,747 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 More like reading FF and checking the bookies. Methinks the DR recently quote Teamtalk as a source of information, which tells you about the standards of journalism up there ... but in saying that, the DR journo crew will be somewhere down Parkhead way looking for mega-bucks stars flying in. Nothing against Teamtalk, BTW, but they are just an info hub and do not really have - AFAIK - their own investigative journos. STURR UP Quote Rangers favourites to land Daniel Sturridge on free transfer after Liverpool exit David Fowler 2 Jul 2019, 7:53 Updated: 2 Jul 2019, 7:56 BOOKMAKERS have slashed odds on Daniel Sturridge joining Rangers this summer. Gers have been installed as favourites to land the free agent striker, who left Liverpool at the end of last season. Sturridge's odds have been cut from 16/1 into just 6/4 to join the Glasgow giants before the transfer window closes. More than 60 per cent of all bets have been piled on Ibrox being the ex-England international's next destination. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4432649/daniel-sturridge-rangers-favourites-transfer-news/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1562052082 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave M609 100 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If we are trying to / have got guys like Dorrans, Lafferty, Rossiter, Grezda, Hardie, Holt, Herrera, Dodoo and Wallace off the wage bill that must free up a few quid in wages, if you are talking about brining guys in on a free, you could use the wages from that lot and bring in 2 or 3 players of a level above, like sturridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saved wages you mention above have probably already been eaten up by the new signings. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but always bearing in mind that most of the saved wages aren't yet saved and in some cases (loans) will only be partly saved and in others will involve pay-offs that can be balanced against any incoming fees. Summer 2020 is when quite a few contracts are due to expire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 In 2012 Sturridge was earning approx £65k a week... I reckon he will be looking for even more nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I would assume that a Defoe or a Sturridge would not come for money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe has a contract with Bournemouth. Sturridge should struggle to get a really big money contract anywhere unless it's weighted towards a pay for play clause. Anyone wanting to part with say 60K per week for Sturridge deserves all that is (not) coming. Edited July 2, 2019 by buster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
