@Younameit

yes, from what ive seen his nothing special but a pace junky!

ill admit ill miss him in fifa, for the wing runs. thas about it though.

[Tricky 301]

danny is not world class neither will he ever be, loan move is pretty retarded although!

sell hime for 15 million and call it a day, all this loan seems pretty stupid.

What is this obsession with world class? What does it mean? How do you define it? Are there a few world class players? Or is it anyone who plays for a major international country?

All BS as far as I'm concerned. Sturridge has everything needed to be a top class CF, he needs to grow up a little but that comes with experience.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

World Class strikers : Messi , Ronaldo , Rooney , Ibrahimovic , Drogba , Van Persie , Aguero , players who scores 20-30 goals per season.

Sturridge is a good striker , he could be fantastic in his natural position and we need a ST more than a Winger.

don't tell me! most of sturridge fans think he will be some class players or something, his had chance! he hasnt proved it.

no obession with " world class" term, i like good team players and sturridge is not one of them.

Drogba has scored +20 league goals in maybe 1/2 seasons.

Had his chance? When? At Bolton when he scored 8 in 12? Or you mean when he's been played out of position at Chelsea his whole time here pretty much?

The boy has never had a crack here at this club at CF. He deserves as many games as Torres had last season and his return would have been greater. FACT.

What chance? Scored a dozen goals playing out of position as a winger.

Did you have a similiar issue with Robben?

if city land david villa as they are expected; surley abra will respond by pulling a trigger on a deal. This one or remy look possible/reasonable, although I think we will end up with remy(just a hunch)

[Hutcho 8,443]

haven't they already made it clear he is not leaving, perfectly happy for sturridge to stay and there is 0 chance of him leaving if we didn't bring in someone else first.

IMO

Sturridge is not a world class striker and will never be. He will become quite good, but doesnt have the game to be the CF of any of the top teams in europe.(CL not europa)

I like him as a winger, not as a Striker. He is a quality winger, who can develop into a WC winger if he progresses well in that position and becomes a team player, and passes.

Rooney is a WC striker, and had the characteristics and talent at 21 or 18...however old he was when he joined united.

Sturridge has trickery and pace, and the odd good finish with finesse. His characteristics are perfect for growing into a WC winger, not a striker.

He is the type of player who WANTS and NEEDS playing time, preferably as a starter. We clearly cannot give that to him, atleast as a CF.

So if he is sold, he should be sold to a club that is willing to make him the No. 1 CF.

If we will sell him to another club where he is not a starter, but makes a huge difference when he comes on as a sub, then there is no point selling him, as he is a terrific impact sub for us already.

I'd be shocked if they managed to sign Villa.

[Manuf 1,448]

May as well chuck Gerald Asamoah in there. And Cacau.

They were rubbish, Klose is the exception rather than the rule. And Podolski doesn't count, Lukas is a German name.

Make that Mirosław and Łukasz

LOOL! Rooney never has been and never will be world class! plus Messi and Ronaldo are not strikers! and you didn't even mention the player who has been the best striker on the planet by a long long way for over a year now! Radamel Falcao!

[Pacquiao 1,834]

Drogba has scored +20 league goals in maybe 1/2 seasons.

how many seasons do you Rooney has scored 20+ league goals then? at least when Drogba does it he wins the Golden Boot! how many times has Rooney won that btw?

If things are based on four standard positions being keeper, defence, midfield and strikers then Messi and Ronaldo have to be considered strikers. The offensive area they play on the field suggests they cannot be classed midfielders.
