Liverpool hero Didi Hamann says the club should have long sold Daniel Sturridge.

The England international is again being linked with a move away ahead of the January market.

And in a Twitter Q&A, Hamann declared: "I would have sold him a long time ago.

"Club is asking for too much money, a player who plays 20% of the games is worth 20% of his true value so I'd let him go for £8m probably.

"He's cost us more than that by not playing."

Hamann also says the Reds shouldn't panic if Emre Can walks out at the end of his contract this season.

He added: "He's ok but certainly not a player I'd beg to sign.

"Take it or leave it, see ya later".
