Today's Sturridge article -

Hmm. Not sure about having him back. Don't think he's THAT good or is what we need. If he's not happy on the bench at Chelsea then I can't see him getting many more games here.

It's one thing to say we shouldn't have let him go and another to go out and spend £20M on him now.

FTR I'm not against him because he left, as it didn't appear to be all his fault.

I do not normally watch Chelsea (cannot stand seeing Terrys face on the screen) but might put up with it tonight, it will be interesting to see how Sturridge plays assuming he is in the team and with a bit of luck they will get slaughtered by Barcelona.

An absolute disgrace we let this guy it was so obvious he was an amazing talent after the youth cup final against liverpool when he was only 16, why we didnt give him a long term contract under pearce or sven I will never know.
In terms of bringing him back I think he would be a great signing, could give us width and also play striker, very skillfull, pacy and would also count as homegrown.

A poor man's Kalou (who incedently is available on a Bosman if we really needed this type of player!)

Chelsea are a much better team without him!

Well and truely beleives his own hype, which has been created by the same British media which results in anybody young and English being labelled as worth 3-4 times their true value.

I would be extrealmy dissappointed if he was really one of our top targets

under 24 so not in scope for a Bosman, likely to be the next England media darling at the Euros and a pacy left-sided club trained striker who would be an excellent addition to our squad if Dzeko/Tevez/Balotelli move on. A bargain at £11m - which is what we'd have to pay on a buy-back.

Balo or Sturridge?

I'd take him back, and right now, if it was a choice of playing him or Balo up top, it'd have to be him....

Quite mate. We already have one, do we want another? In my opinion we have the better of the two. Admittedly after seeing Agueros scoring stats with Balo I would be very interested to see how he would do with Sturridge instead, though I'd rather drop both and have someone without the entitlement complex!

Keep Tevez. Stop being ridiculous. Thread over.

And if Tevez doesn't want to stay, or throws his toys out of the pram again a couple of months into the new season? Thread not over.
