Daniel Sturridge

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Some criticize him for his selfishness but I on the other hand feel that he is a young ambitious striker who wants to be the best.Danny has the potential to be a great striker and all he needs is the chance to shine.I hope RDM keeps him and plays him regularly as a center forward otherwise our rivals will sign him and benefit from his services.

City made a huge mistake by selling him to us,lets hope we don't make a similar mistake. I believe in Danny and I urge you all to do the same.

Can see him wanting to join Spurs, mainly because of AVB. And he could also get a chance as starting CF there 'cos they only have Defoe atm.

Also i actually forgot he has just 1 year left on his contract, we should either renew now or sell him. Can't risk losing him for a very small fee like City.

Defintly has a lot of potential and we saw it at the start of the season and then half way seemed to become more selfish and a bit shite.Hopfully can rediscover that form again!..if he stays

From the victor mosses thread

Yes I love Torres (no homo). When Torres went through a drought at least he assists or has the vision to pick out key passes. Sturridge during the second half of the season was pure shit. Watching Sturridge is frustrating, the number of times he shot when a simple pass would guarantee a goal. I dont want to see players like that. He is young but I can never see him becoming world class, just another overrated English player in my eyes.

Don't care for your fanboism, in matter of fact i have no problem with it. But that doesn't warrant slating Sturridge in every opportunity in a mean to make Torres look more favorable. You can have your opinion and criticism of Sturridge, even though i think they are harsh. But it is quite disgusting to throw bricks at another Chelsea player in order to praise another.

Torres and Sturridge are independent of one of each other, it doesn't have to be Torres vs Sturridge one can admire one without shitting on the other.

I am baffled by all the hatred directed towards Sturridge. It's like all the ladyboy fanbase is searching for a scapegoat in order to abuse him, so their beloved blondie doesn't get the critics he deserves.

They seem to fear Sturridge will bench Torres, which is why most of them hope he is sold.

hahahah ^ yep, studge was absolutely vital to reason we even finished in 6th. we prob would have finished in 8th if he wasnt scorin as he did. scored more than DDA and torres in EPL, yet still casted away?? happy you studge hatters are nowhere near our board!

[DDA 9,924]

There are rumours Sturridge wants to leave us for a striker role and if he does wanna go to Spurs to join AVB then i wish him good luck. I like Danny and would like him to stay. I didn't like how he played after the first half of last season when he seemed to be the greediest player i have seen in a long time wasting chance after chance. Despite that for a player who was put on the wing game after game when he obviously wanted to play striker he wasn't that much of a pain in the ass. He had something to say but didn't go over the top like say Tevez so if he wants to join AVB and be put on the wing again for Spurs i wish him all the best =).

P.s. I don't think this article is 100% accurate seeing as i don't know anyone who believes Danny is 'out of favour' here at Chelsea.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

No way we sell Danny this year, considering I'm sure he's already been promised he's second choice striker rather than first choice or even second choice RW. I think he's happy with that role.

Now if this season goes like last season for him, then I can see him leaving, but I don't think it'll happen. Chelsea isn't stupid enough to let a talent like him leave especially considering we're rebuilding.

He might not be the most complete player and probably never will be, but if he develops and matures he has the attributes to be a very very dangerous player. He's so direct and with great dribbling and quick feet, he's very very dangerous player for defences.

1 on 1 he's top 5 dangerous players in the EPL imo.

5M£ wtf`? That's a big joke

[headhunter23 70]

its foolish to sell him, especially given nandos superb history of confidence, One thing I am sure of is danny boy will take his chances in the striker role, he wont be wasteful and definitely wont be hesitant to shoot in front of goal or look for a pass instead of strike it.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Chelsea better assure his club future soon otherwise many clubs will be interested in him,especially after the good performance he'll put up(if fit) in the Olympics.

Don't die, Danny!

GCA = Game changing assist. GCG = Game changing goal.

To anyone who thinks Sturridge wasn't important to us last season.

To anyone who thinks Sturridge wasn't important to us last season.

What do you think you're doing using facts and statistics when analysing a player? Madness!!!

[Sheva. 5,373]

No one can say Sturridge wasn't important to us last season. In the first half of the season he and Mata carried us and he scored big goals against Spurs and Wigan.

If he didn't have a terrible second half of the season, then he wouldn't be getting as much hate as he is getting atm.

[Superblue 6,372]

People forget that he's still young. Yes he has shown a selfish streak in a negative light but he's still maturing. The turning point was an incredibly selfish display against leicester and there were explanations for this being that it was just after muamba's heart attack and he wanted to score for him. It doesn't make it right but he's young.

In a central striker position a selfish streak will not show up as bad and hopefully even be a big positive (hasselbaink anyone?)
