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".
