"He is saying the right things and i wish the lad all the success at LFC in the world. He will have to work hard to convince the fans he is the right striker"
"welcome to the best club in the world!!..... ynwa!... hope we get 2-3 more quality players and then bring it on baby!!...top 4 this season or the next is immient. in br we trust!"
"Hope he realise he's not alone on the pitch when he plays for LFC as he used to play for Chelsea and know how to pass the ball instead of playing alone!"
"Second day. Lol.
Anyway, lovely to see Daniel to join, regardless of what you other fickle fans say, I like this guy a lot. Just Gameiro, Xavi Alonso, Sneijder maybe, and two others.
Let's win Sunderland!"
"To all those fans moaning about getting falcao and cavani, it aint gonna happen. This is the reality. I for one think is a good signing.Welcome Daniel.We're not what we were but we'll get there with full support from all the fans.Y.N.W.A"
"Fantastic,Great signing, he can play wide and central and he scores, finally some support for Suarez, Welcome to your new home , Fanstastic, cheers, Eager to see you score early"
"Score on your league debut against the Mancs and you'll gain instant legend status. We need a new ''Super Dan'' chant, like the one for Danny ''Spud'' Murphy.
We want to hear
Super, Super Dan
Super, Super Dan
Super, Super Dan
Super Danny Sturridge."
"THIS IS INDEED VERY GOOD NEWS AND DANIEL STURRIDGE WELCOME TO LFC, WE KOP SUPPORTERS WANT U TO BE OUR TALISMAN THAT WILL ENSURE GOALS ARE SCORED, YOU'RE A POACHER AND PLS SHOW KOP YOUR STAR-EDGE!"
"thekop.liverpoolfc.com/_Dear-FSG-/blog/6494771/173471.html
Said what I think here, he's the first of what should be a steady stream now and in the Summer.
I think he's a good player, I just hope his atude allows him to fit into our determined and down to earth squad.
Welcome anyways. From now on YNWA lad."
"Great signing, I think Daniel will be great for us and will shut all the critics' mouths!
Lets support him and hope he'll score tons of goals for us, the greatest club in the world!
YNWA from Hollland"

"Welcome to LFC Daniel sturridge your just what LFC needs someone who's not affaid to shoot! Hope you start tonight, also if you score goals for LFC you'll soon be loved here! Good luck to your Liverpool career lad. YNWA sturridge "
"Not entirely sure he's what we need, but could prove me wrong. Decent left wing man with a good wide foot? Might do well to burst into space if Suarez makes the false-9 role his own."
"Welcome Super Dan. Now comes the hard part. You must score alot of goals to proves the doubters wrong. I had defended you left and right and stated that BR is right to sign you. I've followed your career since the Bolton days. Don't let the doubters win this one, I beg you."
"this is not what i expected.. but, since you're already here.. i would like to say welcome to the club. hope you can help us to climb the table. show us your best shot.. the fans will love you.."
"Welcome fella!
Under Brendan you will get your chance, in front of the Kop you will get your chance, and Roy will keep on giving you chances, capatilise on these, stay red and you will be a legend!
YNWA!"
"what a top signing, young talented, pacey and with a trick or two, cold not do much better in the Jan transfer window without paying silly money, very very good piece of business by BR and FSG!! "
"archie0809 We normally welcome player when they sign for us and not put them down. I would like to see your comments after Daniel starts scoring the goals we having been missing. Until he does something wrong we must give every player a chance and welcome and support him. He hasn't had the chance at Chelski to show what he can do.I would like to see his selfishness in front of goal."
"Welcome to the 5 star reds son, hit the ground running and blast us to the top 4 finish that we all need and form a lethal partnership with the wizzard of kop - surez
YNWA now lets get walcott alonso and a centre back "
"Now we need a song for him I've been scratching my head for something that can go with Sturridge and the only song that comes to mind is Phil Collins classic and change sussudio to st-st-sturridge!"
"What a way to start the window.
Sturridge will do nicely for us, has skill and pace to burn and direct and shoots at goal which our other players do not do.
He is young and will get better with good guidance.
A positive signing indeed ."
"One more top quality striker and goal scoring midfielder will hopefully put us in a very good position going into second half of the season. Not sure about Sturridge. Big gamble for £12 M meaning Carroll will not be back. Use his money to get a top striker in."
"Great news! Welcome to LFC Daniel Sturridge! We will support you and hope you will repay our faith! hope besides from the first day you will be full of good purposes for your new compelling career! do us proud lad! YNWA Daniel Sturridge!"
"Welcome Daniel to the most sucessful UK club to compete in Europe. We are still the benchmark. You will find out why everyone concedes that the best football supporters in the world are here. We love a team player. We will sing your praises at every opportunity. We will come down on you when we see you slackening. As long as you wear that red shirt with pride- WE WILL LOVE YOU....YNWA JFT96"
"Its says a lot that a player at a top club like Chelski leaves to join us. He is clearly believing we have the capacity to fulfil his dreams. BR has moved early suggesting the owners are keen to back him. This deal is much better than the Dempsey one and will prove to be a successful. "
"He's now probably the fastest player in the team alongside Sterling. We're probably one of the slowest teams in the League so for me this is a good signing. With regular games he can only improve. YNWA Daniel"
"He adds much needed pace and athleticism to the front, as well as an eye for goal only matched by Suarez and sometimes Gerro. I think it's a good buy for the price and he will impress us. I'd also suspect his first action in Red will be against MU next time out, and we'll only see him in the stands today. YNWA Daniel!"
"Now, all we are waiting for, is Ince to sign and its game on. We should have never sold him in the first place and it must be bemusing to our owners why he was allowed to leave in the fist place. This is the sort of nonsensical situations that has made FSG rightly wary of splashing the cash. "
"Well done to the owners and Brendan! Welcome Daniel. I wish you all the success and happiness while playing for your new club. Let the revolution begin. C'mon you Reds!!"
"LFC1958- at 15.23 well said mate we welcome players when they sign for LFC that's what the best fans in the world do. Me personally thinks its a crackin signin. He's just what we need someone who likes to shoot! YNWA "
"Welcome Daniel Sturridge. You came today to the great club, where expectations are high but understanding and knowledgoe of the game is the same high. Ideal place for such ambitious and talented guys as you are. YNWA "
"Yeah.If owners has market open every day.S#it happens,but its not the end of the world,about Ince,we dont need him back,we let him go and let it be that way.There is more quality players around the world.Ince wont make a difference today."
"nearly all positive comments, sterling
will get
a rest now and may learn a thing or two from DS i wonder are we going to get a surprise signing this month."
"he is better than our current 2 wide men and he is better backup to suarez than we currently got. If we were rich I can see people wanting to get Cavani,Falacao etc etc. but he is an improvement on downing for an example. so support your team moaners!"
"I am actually getting more excited when I think about this deal. He is certainly exciting and will get the crowd going. Its a good sign that a very good young player has opted to join us. I can just see him and Suarez causing havoc and scoring a hatful of goals. Happy days.."
"Reina,johnson,skrtl,agger,enrique,lucas,gerrard,allen,sturridge,sterling,suarez
youngsters , borini,suso,shelvey,kelly,wisdom,robinson,morgan,yesil,coates and henderson
summer : centreback to compete, defensive mid and attacking mid playmaker and another striker that can play on the wing. and 2 years we will have cl footie!"
"really? Rogers? you make one big move at the start of the winter transfer of about 12mil.pounds for a selfish striker that has only 6Months of contract dates left? are you serious? What we need is a QUALIFIED,GOOD PROFESSIONAL player on top of the game not a potentially good player that might get better! "
"I am bemused that a minority of fans are not aware that he had a very good spell at Chelksi and that Mancini is on record as saying that he was very disappointed that Man City had let him go before he arrived. My only slight reservation was about his temperament but his football skills are not in question. Happy days are back again"
"Welcome to Liverpool Football Club - home to the most loyal supporters who will back you through thick and thin. Best of Luck & a very thoughtful first interview!"
"We are Liverpool fc first and foremost and we support the team and whoever wears the shirt.
In as much as there is freedom of expression and diverse opinions, I am disgusted at the so called fans that have only bad things to say.
Your opinions now do not change a thing, Sturridge is here already and you guys should do what any good supporter does, SUPPORT THE TEAM,"
"Just done some stats on his 38 career goals so far and his preferred opponent with 3 goals are West Ham, Spurs and EVERTON :) Automatically makes him a hero in my books!"
"YNWA maybe some of u don't agree,but I hope we can get villa(less than 12m) and Honda to the team.The experiences from Villa can help the team,can help the young players and able to put the balls into the net!"
"BuddhaBuddha131313 - 2nd Jan 2013 16:03 ... well said, my thoughts precisely. Daniel has tons of talent and is a real goal poacher in the mould of Defoe but younger. This is a great signing. Go get them goals Daniel! "
"Have never been a massive fan of this guy but he was never given an extended run at Chelski (a lesser club!) and as a result never looked completely happy. He is now here and wanted! and will be given plenty of games. He and Suarez will be far more compatible than Carroll ever was - this will definitely work and his career will now take off! "
"I am sure Rodgers thought long and hard about this as it could make or break his own anfield career. The guy has talent no doubt, but has he got the heart and mentality to make it big at LFC? i really hope so "
"Let's put our fears aside and have hopes in our heart that he'll be a good signing. Let's give him the support he needs to bed in quickly, and wish him the best in his Liverpool career.
Welcome home, Daniel. YNWA"
"Thankfully we now have a decent player to help Luis up front. Prove you're worth the fee by banging in some goals and PLEASE FSG support the fans and the team and invest some decent money in the players. They're out there, they just need buying. Shame about BA going to Chelski, he would of been a great player for 7 million."
"Buddabud. I would not be too concerned in regards to his temperament as his new manager is BR who will nurture him and use the carrot or stick when needed. My major concern is with RS as since his contract award he does seem to have gone off the boil, hope its just a blip. "
"Sturridge is now at a 'Genuine' big club and will get his opportunity, unlike his spells at 'wannabe' big clubs who crave our status in the game and will continue to inject their club with obscene amounts of cash to get there, but they never will..."
"These clubs will overdose and die well before they get anywhere near our honours and then we'll back anyway - it's a lost cause! Welcome to a 'Genuine' big club Daniel!"
"Welcome Mr Sturridge! Our welcoming committee has said everything good to you and all I can say is MAKE ME HAPPY IN 2013 & BEYOND! GOOD LUCK SIR! YNWA 4EVER!"
"If Sturridge and Suarez are both greedy with ball and only pass as an absolute last resort this could prove a serious handicap to our strike force, a potential problem that Brendan should seriously take on board and needs to take extreme measures to make sure it doesn't happen. "
"If we have to be 'Realistic' and have to accept that this is the best quality that we can hope for, then we must forever give up hope of ever becoming EPL Champions or dominating English football again. If Fergie hears this is the best we can afford to get then he might collapse laughing at us."
"I think this is a fantastic coup for us, very proud we have captured such a talent! To Loz99... how can you question this lads talent, I bet you you he gets more goals that carrol did for us in his first 18 months..... and at a quarter of the price and so will Borini!"
"Not being negative just realistic. Who got the better deal? LFC or Chelski getting Ba + 4m from the Sturridge sale. But he is with us and like all players I will back him to the hilt. Welcome Daniel"
"George2295,
1/ I'm not Mark Lawrenson
2/ I love LFC and don't hate them.
3/ Wouldn't support Manu if they were the last club left in England, I detest them unbelievably.
4/ I certainly won't go away.
5/ You're the only one who has ever said to go away and I've never heard of you.
I was just being realistic, I want the very best for our club? Don't you?
6/ I am most welcome here BTW.
"
"Lonewar, I welcome Dan Sturridge here 100% but I honestly was hoping we could get Cavanni, LLorente, maybe Ola Toivenon, I don't like this British only policy, I like to see top players like Hyppia, Alonso in our team. Are we not allowed to dream of buying the very best we can get to compete with the rest? Daniel is good but is he 'good enough'?"
"to Loz99, I dont agree with the buying british policy either, that has gone wrong for us before, but I believe this lad is different to what we have bought before,I would like toivenen her though, I hope we get a surprise buy to fill the number 9 shirt! "
"Congratulations Daniel! I always thought you looked good playing for England. Now you will get a nice run in the team (fingers crossed) and show the fans what you are made of."
"What`s in a name? The DS was a car made by Citroen from the Fifties with lots of technological innovations and Dan Dare styling. Deesse (DS phonetically) means goddess. So, lots of innovation and daring please, Dan Dare, and you may yet be deified."
"Loz99- let's wait and see how he does and then judge him cos I really do think sturridge is a quality player. Also he's better than Downing, Stirling, suso, and basically all our attacking options at present. Stirling and suso can get better but sturridge is developed now and ready to go! YNWA "
"let the goals flow and get into that top four hope theres more in the door another striker and midfielder would be great welcome to the best club in the world..."
"Lonewar69
2nd Jan 2013 18:55, Hope you're right about that No.9 Shirt, I really hoped Big Andy was gonna be a dream ticket, I was so confident he was going to be the One to replace Torres successfully. 'Dan The Man' Sturridge could turn out ok though and I do wish him the very Best!! Happy New Year Lonewar, Rushjob, Gerrard Yo Beauty, Buddha Etc Etc "
"The 'Sturridge is greedy and selfish' rumour is pure nonsense. No one who knows him has ever said that as it cou;dn't be further from the truth. As for those saying we should have signed Cavanni and/or Falcao.. What? £100m for the pair, with no Champions League football??? Are you here to make people laugh or credible, intelligent fans? "
"I would like to see the return of Thomas Ince. He can become our very own Oxlade-Chamberlain (plus he scores goals). Still, we need a mature top forward for the right-wing berth - someone like Sofiane Feghouli or Navas. And, we still need another central striker in the mould of Fernando Llorente or Wilfried Bony (or Arouna Kone/Michu). Theo Walcott perhaps? "
"BR has been Fab since he took over. What scares me is his transfer policy ~ He has only bought peeps he managed before. None of his signings have not had a major impact till now. But it is awesome the way he is developing the youth and getting the best out of Downing, Hendo and Co. Hoping his philosophy of recruiting young and hungry talent who have point to prove works! In Brenden we Trust!"
