saw him linked with villa

why did he leave turkey? 7 goals in 16 wasnt a bad return

He's not done badly there at all. I saw the odd headline that they can't afford him, and he'll probably have plenty of opportunities in the PL and MLS, so maybe for both parties it's time for something new?

Thought it was bizarre he went over there in the first place, so really not surprised.

Mutual termination... hmm

Quote

Daniel Sturridge’s time playing in Turkey appears to be at an end after his three-year contract with Trabzonspor was terminated on Monday. The former Liverpool and England striker, aged 30, had signed the deal on 21 August after his contract with Liverpool expired last summer.

He scored a total of seven goals in 16 appearances for the Turkish side, and leaves them top of the Super Lig table after 23 matches in a drum-tight campaign where the leading three teams are separated only by goal difference. Sturridge’s goal return in the league was four from 11 appearances, with his remaining three coming from a two-legged Turkish Cup tie against second-tier side Altay.

A Trabzonspor statement said: “The contract signed between our company and our professional footballer Daniel Andre Sturridge, dated 21.08.2019 and ending 31.05.2021 has been mutually terminated. In accordance with the termination agreement, the football player gave up all his forward-looking rights and receivables.”

Earlier, the club had had tweeted: “We thank Daniel Sturridge for his contributions to our club and wish him success in his career #thankyoudanielsturridge.”

The last six months have been marked by the same injury frustrations that have blighted the forward’s career and effectively ended his hopes at international level, with groin, thigh and calf problems restricting his availability in recent times. His most recent of 26 England caps came in a World Cup qualifier against Lithuania in 2017.

So after the appeal they increased it from 2 weeks to 4 months?! Or did more come to light in that hearing?

Haven't obviously seen any details of the case, but if he told his family he is in talks with Sevilla, and his brother decided to put a bet on it, how is that his fault? Are they not allowed to discuss it with anyone whatsoever?

Is he in a relationship? Did come home one day last year and state, "oh by the way, we're moving to Turkey, just signed a contract. Sorry I couldn't talk it through with you but I wasn't allowed to in case you headed straight to the bookies."

Quote

An independent Appeal Board found that the FA's Regulatory Commission, which adjudicates punishments regarding disciplinary cases, was too lenient in handing Sturridge an effective two-week playing ban in July 2019 and a £75,000 fine.

Sturridge will now be banned for four months with his fine doubled to £150,000.

FIFA has confirmed the suspension will be of worldwide effect.

"I feel that the betting companies and the process of people being able to place bets on players moving clubs has to be stopped.

"Although the appeals panel recognised that I hadn't bet and nobody else had bet, I was still charged so that was very disappointing and upsetting for me to hear the news the appeal panel had overturned the original, highly-qualified panel's ruling and, with that being said, it's devastating for me and I'm absolutely gutted.

...

Sturridge had originally faced 11 charges for alleged breaches of the FA's betting rules during January 2018, the month he made a loan move to West Bromwich Albion for the remainder of last season.

The forward was alleged to have instructed his brother, Leon, to bet on his possible transfer to Sevilla, providing him with inside information, although he never moved to the La Liga club and later went to West Brom.

Sturridge was initially cleared of nine of the 11 charges. However, the Appeal Board has now proven two further charges which were originally dismissed.

There is a transcript of the text conversations from the original charge, somewhere. From what I remember, they definitely discuss betting odds quite a lot but at no point does Sturridge directly tell anyone to place a bet (although you can see why the FA took issue given their rules). He does mention refunding any losses. Not that it necessarily relates to this, but Sturridge's dad is well known to frequent betting shops round my parts, and I think the family like a flutter.

I find it weird really that the FA would go to the lengths of appealing this though. Especially when any betting that was discussed would have resulted in those involved losing money. Sturridge has it spot on when he says that taking bets on players moving clubs shouldn't be allowed. As usual, the bookies are the ones at fault here, not the player and his associates, but given the income they get, the FA are bending over backwards to protect them.

If they are stupid enough to offer markets, then why shouldn't people in know take advantage? The only time it should be an issue is if it results in match/spot fixing. Currently, a player earning £250 a week playing for Bromley isn't allowed to place a bet on a Liverpool vs Man City game without being banned ffs.

MH41 · « **Reply #2383 on:** March 3, 2020, 09:58:10 am »

Yeah, I've just read the initial case, where they discuss bets/odds etc. But I wonder how it all came about, or how it was initially raised? Was it by a betting company?
Sturridge was interviewed and 'In his second interview, which took place after messages had been retrieved by the FA, it was suggested that Mr Sturridge was unable to provide any sensible explanation for them, nor realistically could any such explanation be given.'
So the FA appear to be allowed access to players phones. Could this be used for any type of case? (to check texts, WhatsApp messages etc to check what they have been sending etc) eg appeals against red cards, racism cases etc
I'm not quite sure why the FA pursued this so much, by appealing the initial ban, as well as insisting that the ban was worldwide. The strong message should have been sent out to the Betting companies. Don't offer these markets, or prepare to lose money. Players have every right to discuss career moves with family and friends. Agents, and at times, journalists would have similar information. Are they banned from betting on moves? It is the betting companies that need tackled, not the players.

Agreed, sadly. But being racist: banned for a few games. Potentially costing bookies money: pursued, appealed against, banned for months. Something stinks there, I think. Someone needs to get hold of the FA and hammer their punishments into shape so they make some kind of ethical sense, because this kind of shit just makes them look even more stupid. Not that they seem to care, ever.

Looks to firmly be in the retirement phase of his career. L'Equipe saying he wants to either go to Ligue 1 as he holidays in Cannes or the MLS as he wants to set-up a record label. Benevento are the only club to show a firm interest so far

When he was with us it seemed like he relocated to America whenever he was out injured.

The MLS would be a good move for him. He clearly loves the lifestyle over there and has business ventures beyond football that he wants to pursue, he'd make good money and likely score a lot of goals if he can stay fit. The LA clubs and Miami would love to have a player of his profile.

Best of luck to him.

Saw these quotes from him. Such a shame he was so hampered by injury after Suarez left. He was phenomenal at his best.

Daniel Sturridge on Liverpool: ”Liverpool, man - that’s my club. I have kept my house and I’ll go back when I retire. The people of Merseyside have treated me brilliantly from the day I went there. When they fall in love with you, they’re not scared to show you that love”.

Sturridge: “I told Mike Gordon that when I am done as a player, I want to be involved in the club again. I don’t know if I am going to be cut out to coach and haven’t decided if i want to do badges anyways".

Sturridge: "I won’t rule it out but Liverpool FC knows that I’ll sell hotdogs outside if it wants me to. That club saved me and I will always owe them”.

It's such a shame because I really loved to watch him play.

I remember watching all of his goals for us and most of them really didn't rely on him using his pace. Was excellent in the box. Lovely touch, great left foot and skilful, creatively capable. If he could adapt his body and mind and find the right team, he could still do the bits for someone.

I'm surprised no one has taken a punt on him yet. Sheffield United are looking for a striker, Leeds have been splashing lots of money in attack, and West Brom are looking for another striker as well. There are probably a few others clubs as well. If he can stay fit, he'd do a hell of a job for a mid to lower mid-table club. Even one battling relegation.

Adeemo · « **Reply #2399 on:** September 27, 2020, 09:15:04 am »

I’m surprised he’s not at least training with a Premier League club. You’d think someone like Brighton would allow him to train with them, so they could keep an eye on his fitness, with the idea of offering a pay as you play type deal if his body looks up to it.
