Tomo 21,751 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sturridge will be one of the best strikers to ever play in the PL. and Sam Allardyce will be one of the best managers to ever grace the game when West Ham get their 4th PL title in 2017.

Kinol 337 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 By giving him a chance I think they mean letting him impress during the pre season games we have. Weve got lots of pre season games and while some players are away on confederations cup others will be given a chance. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that half a season was unsustainable.Sturridge is the much better footballer and far superior both physically and technically.He had a exceptional record at Bolton and repeated the trick at Liverpool. You're selling him short mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're selling him short mate.Ofcourse im not, i rate him highly but i highly doubt he will be one of the best ever PL forwards. I highly doubt he will reach the levels of Henry, Drogba, Bergkamp, RVN, Cantona, Zola etc.....He could get to the second level where the likes of Hasselbaink, Owen (before he got fucked up by injuries) and there's no shame in that.If there was belief he could reach the very top level, wouldn't a better side than Liverpool have snapped him up for such a low(ish) fee?

Jase 43,479 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Funny to see so many want Marin out and don't want to give him a chance but then want Kakuta to be given that privelege when their situation is almost identical at the club. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturridge is still 23 and has the potential to be world-class. Stats, Amblève., The Skipper and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sturridge is going to be a very, very good player. It'll be interesting to see how he develops, just needs a bit maturity in his game. Muzchap and didierforever 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his positives but he is lazy and egotistical, and that will prevent him from becoming world class. Give me a work-horse like Shane Long over him any day - I think there is a reason the club let him go, and that's because the manager at the time didn't think much of Sturridge.

Give me a work-horse like Shane Long over him any day - I think there is a reason the club let him go, and that's because the manager at the time didn't think much of Sturridge. So? He went from being a bit part player at Chelsea (despite being one of our best players for half a season out of position in 2011/12 but people won't remember that) to being one of Liverpool's key players. To say he's average just sounds bitter to me, and to say that he's lazy and egotistical (don't know why people keep banging on about this) will prevent him from being world class is far fetched (he certainly works hard, to say he's lazy is just blind hate) - Ibrahimovic is perceived egotistical and lazy - doesn't mean he's not world class. I'm not saying Sturridge will definitely be a world class striker but to say he doesn't have the potential to be there; you look at his attributes - he's tall, great speed, great feet, good technical ability, flair, an eye for goal - to say he's average is bewildering. Average players don't do what he's done in his so far short professional career. He's going to turn even more heads next season should he stay injury free, I firmly believe that.

5354 204 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sturridge bailed us out so many times under AVB's season. Common people, did you forget that?! Blue-in-me-Veins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sturridge bailed us out so many times under AVB's season. Common people, did you forget that?!So why didn't AVB try and sign him? Why was the only offer on the table from a mid-table side like Liverpool?

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Why was the only offer on the table from a mid-table side like Liverpool?Mid table is harsh on Liverpool. He went there because they were one of the few decent clubs aspiring to challenge for Europe that would allow him to develop as a striker, and alas, he's hit the ground running there and is already a key player.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The difference between Danny and Gael is that one has the drive to be a top player whilst it looks like the other just doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a work-horse like Shane Long over him any day - I think there is a reason the club let him go, and that's because the manager at the time didn't think much of Sturridge. Lazy? I think that's a bit harsh on him. A lot gets said about Sturridge, because he has been vocal about his position preference (down the middle) and so people are under the impression he doesn't give as much effort when he's on the flanks. But I didn't see a lazy player. I saw someone who was frustrated by tried to let his football do the talking. He was at fault for trying to go for glory most of the time, however, he was too persistent with cutting inside and going for the shot. But you see the effect he's had at Liverpool playing where he wants to be played. He's not just a poacher, he's also someone you can use as a target man and bring others into the game. He's had a fantastic work-ethic when playing with Suarez, the two just compliment each other. As for Kakuta, in relation to Sturridge, it'll be hard to judge his path till we've actually seen more of him. From what's been said about him at Vitesse, he's actually taken himself down a notch and focused on letting football do the talking. Everyone knows the ability, skill and potential he has. The think about potential is when a player knows his potential, he can either let himself fall on that and just dilly-dally along or he can try to live up to that potential too early - Which I think Kakuta attempted. I think he let himself get carried away trying to be that player, but it was simply too early.
