This was the argument that really annoyed me the most - people were happy to see Sturridge go because supposedly he'll never be world class (which is easy to say, as a lot of people wrote him and even Lukaku off based on a couple of minutes). No one knows whether he'll be world class or not. Sturridge would have been infinitely better for us upfront this season if he played the minutes Torres played for us this season, I'm very sure of that. We didn't have a world class striker at the start of the season but that doesn't justify us not playing Sturridge or making the decision to sell Sturridge okay. We would've been higher up the table and probably would've won a cup or two by now too in my opinion if we played him instead of Fernando. He's proving that at Liverpool - in his 11 games there he's scored 7 already which include goal and assists against the likes of United, us and City; he's already scored more goals against big teams than Torres has for us. Will he be world class? We don't know, it's easier to be pessimistic about it though as it's hard to predict such in football. What I do know though is that Sturridge will be a very good striker if he'll continue to play minutes in his preferred position, something we failed to do.
