The good thing about signing Sturridge would be that he ticks a box as a home grown player for Europe, only this!!
Exactly this. I may be wrong but at the moment (not counting kids) we can only name a 22 man squad for the Chumps league. As far as I'm aware we only have Micah who's homegrown, and we are supposed to have 4? in the squad. Sturirdge would tick boxes as far as that's concerned.
Im from Manchester too, i'll play for much less and wont whinge about being on the bench - do i qualify?
Surely a player has to have more qualifications than just being local?
