I am struggling to understand how a player being paid £150k a week can sit on the bench yet "pay us back in spades?"
He is complaining of a "sore hip", not something that a medical can determine one way or another. A sore hip is not a serious hip problem.
Its pretty simple. We'd have a quality player to call on when needed. Of course him being injured all the time means we dont. Small team mentality worrying what the players on the bench earn. Match winners are worth the money. I'll bet the mancs are gutted by shrek and Martials wages after they both scored when called upon. We'll probably have a low earner on the bench next year. We could even be contenders for the frugal bench of the year award. The open top bus parade for that will be awesome.
Its a hip he had a major operation on. Its continued to give trouble so it does appear to be a major issue. Its given trouble all his career.
I mean I could say a sore foot is not a major foot problem in relation to Henderson. It obviously is. But even that can't be compared to the problems Sturridge has had with his hip.
So i reiterate a fit and firing Sturridge would pay us back in spades even if he wasn't first choice. But we'll never see it.
