Was gutted when we let him go absolute class player imo if Mancini thinks he can fit him in I would get him.

I don't blame Sturrudge tbh, numerous times Ched Evans was picked over him even though you easily see how talented Sturridge waspudge said:We didn't let him go, he fucked off.greasedupdeafguy said:Was gutted when we let him go absolute class player imo if Mancini thinks he can fit him in I would get him.

Not what Bobby thinks. This is what he had to say about him before Chelsea at home:
"I know Sturridge well, I have watched him many times," Mancini says. "It was strange because he started out in Manchester and someone let him out of the club for nothing. Given the chance I think I would have liked to have kept him, but now he is at Chelsea we can do nothing. I know for sure he was one of the best young players that was here. I asked him last year when he played for Bolton why he left Manchester City and he said he didn't know."
"If Sturridge was here today he would be playing in our first team," Mancini says. "This season he can arrive in the national team too. I understand the situation with young players, it is difficult for them to improve if they don't get the games they need, but it is better to send them on loan rather than lose them altogether."
That article in the Guardian goes on to say:
In fact City did make a modest amount of money on Sturridge. As he was both under 24 and out of contract in 2009 a tribunal awarded City £3.5m, rising to £5.5m depending on appearances, and Chelsea will have to forfeit 15% of any future sell-on fee.

I'll leave all our transfer dealings with Bobby he knows best.
