The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 As for for Josh, it would be completely criminal to not loan him out next season especially consider how well he is doing now.It depends entirely on who the coach is. If we do get Guardiola in then I'd want Josh to be part of the squad. As for Sturridge, I don't know if he'll ever be happy simply being a role player at Chelsea. In his time here I simply haven't seen him mature and develop as a team player. Even at West Brom he was taking shots from 25 yards out when he had other options available. When he was given the chance to play up front he got in a couple of good positions but squandered them - I don't know if he can be trusted to be our main striker.So you have to look at what he offers, what he costs and what he could bring in. A £10 million+ offer from Liverpool would probably be good business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he arrived here he literally had 2 starts(one under AVB against Wigan and this season against manu in the cup) as a CF and he scored in both in addition the few minutes at the end of a couple of games this season. We know that he can finish because he was our top scorer last season and we know his movement is excellent. We need to see him much much more at CF in order to judge if he is good enough to be our main striker. Kieran. and LDN Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Maybe he should be given more chances, but I don't personally think he'll ever be the main guy.Problem with Sturridge is that since he gets so few minutes, he's over eager to impress - and that's why sometimes he'll take the wrong option and shoot.

Flavour 0 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Does anyone actually have an idea when his contract expires? Everyone seems to be guessing at the moment. It's strange because on the chelsea website it states we signed him on a 4 year contract in 2009 and there was no mention of an automatic contract extension. Which begs the question why is there no real urgency to tie him down. January is only round the corner and I am concerned that we lose him for cheap. Some articles suggest his contract expires in 2014 but surely we'd have known if an extra year was added to his original contract, no?

ja1 1,166 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 His contract, being a Bosman, has lots of different clauses for City that we're/we've paying/payed off. It's possible that that one of the clauses was for the player, adding a year to his contract - the media appear to be unanimous in that his contract isn't ending in summer. It could be a mistake, but the same also happened for Kalou I believe, who stayed a year longer than he 'should' have at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
