Daniel Sturridge

[Andouble]

I don't think we'd have first option since Chelsea didn't have to negotiate with us to sign him.

 

[Anne’sCoats]

He's currently in Jamaica with Micah on holiday but I think that will be the closest he gets to being with our players again tbh.

 

[Dzeko's Right Boot]

I don't think we'd have first option since Chelsea didn't have to negotiate with us to sign him.

They did, as he was under 21 and had to negotiate compensation. £7 million, if I remember correctly.

 

[Neville Kneville]

We could sign SWP back at the same time & put a bid in for Walcott.

Then, instead of passing to each other, our forwards could just take it in turns to charge head first toward the opponents goal and shoot from whatever direction they end up facing.

It would save Mancini hours trying to make us play this 'football' shit that we attempt now.

Goal.com reckons we would like Sturridge for 10m.

Wait...was I the late one?

 

[not my fault!]

We messed him about to be fair, and when Chelsea came into the bidding he decided that would be for the best. However in hindsight it was a bad career choice despite being loaned out to Bolton. He might have the first option coming back to City but I will see him going to a higher tier club but not to a Champions League chasing club just yet.

Messed him about? We offered him £30k pw & he wanted £60k, then we offered £50k give or take after weeks of negotiations & he fucked us off to sign for Chelsea at £55k pw! He was greedy, at the time he was only breaking through & thought he was the dogs bollocks so demanded a high wage. Look how Richards has turned out, he put a shift in, kept quiet when dropped & now he's a regular in our squad rotation & is paid accordingly.
I wouldn't want him anywhere near the club tbh, he had his chance & jumped ship. If & I mean "if" he did want to come I'd only offer him the original £50k pw he turned down to leave, & not a penny more. See what his reaction to that is. Like you say Bolton would of been a good choice for him, he should of stayed another season & then assessed his future. I can see him ending up at Liverpool or Newcastle & both would be about right for humid say.

Sturridge will end up playing at some club like Norwich soon.
I said so when he left and I still do.
His career has gone backwards.

I certainly don't want him back at City.

I dont think so..

Sturridge is such a poor player, I don't know why we would want him back. Awful decision maker, and a personal glory hunter.

And how many posts have you made on here? Another Newbie with a distorted opinion. On another thread, you described Dzeko as being Serbia's best. For goodness sake, check your facts before writing. Anyway, on the subject of Danny Boy, If Roberto wants him, then we should get behind the lad. If he doesn't, then we should move on.

Whether one post or 60000, it changes absolutely little. He plays brainlessly. Always has. Did at Bolton, and continues to do so at Chelsea. He takes the ball, dribble 2 players and blasts a shot. it matters not whether he is at the corner line, the center circle, or being blocked by 3 other players. He was selfish at City, Selfish at Bolton, and continues to be selfish at Chelsea. Sure, he scores some, but he would kill many more chances than he scores.

It seems a lot of CIty fans still see football, like it was 6 years ago, when anyone with skill, who scores is a plus. We are not that team anymore. There is a basic level of intelligence that is required to play for CIty now. It is the same darned reason why AJ isn't so successful at City.

Put AJ on Bolton, and he will score 8 in 12 easy! Check AJ's stats, his production per minute played is incredible, yet he gets little playing time because he makes too many poor decisions on a precision team. AJ is twice the player Sturridge is "decision making" wise. Yet the coaching crew deem him a liability often inspite of his talents on the ball. Sturridge might be quicker, more athletic, and as good as a dribbler. But he is a shittier passer, a shittier decision maker, and has poor movements off the ball.

Why anyone will conclude he will be good for us, blows my mind. Let Chelsea add one or two more intelligent players, and watch how quickly Sturridge becomes their AJ, The guy you throw on because he can pull a rabbit out of a hat, but you don't view as a trusted fulltimer.

Academy front three in the Carling Cup would be great and answer a lot of our critics.

Sturridge ---- Guidetti ---- Suarez

Suarez has been playing left-wing for Spain U19s so could play there or regular attacking midfielder.

Why do some think Gudietti is PL champions level striker? I think he way too slow to play for us.

Van Nistlerooy wasn't fast. Also this Guidetti is slow thing is something of a myth, he really isn't that slow.

Sturridge scored 8 in 12 for Chelsea as well, your analysis is that it's easier to do that at Bolton, he did it at Chelsea. Watch Robben... it's for me a really silly theoretical assessment, rather than write a rebuttal, I'll wait until you talk about how Sturridge has improved in this way & in that way.. haha

Clichy had a fantastic season but am I right in thinking its only Sturridge who managed to get the better of him this season? I know it's a one off game, but if he can give the best full back in the league (in my opinion) a torrid time then he's a match for anyone on his day.

And according to todays media he is going to be allowed to lead the line in the Olympic team so at least someone appreciates his talents. I personally would welcome him back.

Aren't Liverpool wanting to buy Sturridge for 15 million or did I imagine reading it?

Brendan Rodgers will undoubtedly want Sturridge, he knows a player.

Even if the general opinion that A.Cole is the best fullback is correct, he's already said Studge has been his hardest opponent.

Yes he was interviewed a couple of months ago and asked to nominate the best composite team that he has played with. He rattles off some fantastic names and then includes Sturridge.

It's already been embedded a few pages ago, obviously we hardly get to be privy to seeing Sturridge face up against A.Cole, but, this training match provides an example of why
