2) We cannot afford for a potential Daniel Sturridge injury to ruin another season…
Without Sturridge, we’ve had no rapid centre-forward all season, and until we found the 3-4-3, it almost cost Brendan Rodgers his job. While we’ll all be praying the English forward stays fit when he makes his long awaited return from injury, history shows us that a future fitness problem is possible. Even if we don’t plan on deploying them together, we simply must buy a forward capable of directly replacing, or potentially partnering, Sturridge – and Lacazette has all the characteristics to do so.
