Daniel Sturridge

I personally dont want to see him in a Chelsea shirt ever again. Dont think he can play the lone striker role. Without Suarez I dont think he would score as many as he has.

thats right. oh wait!!! sturrudge WAS playing without suarez at the start of the season and still was scoring for fun. remember pool had won 3 1-0s in their first 3 matches with sturridge scoring all the 3 goals which continued with or without suarez.

Sturridge without Suarez this season:

6 games, 6 goals.

Sturridge without Suarez this season:

And how many goals did he score with Suarez in the side?

Suarez's influence definitely has little to do with Daniel's goal scoring ability. Let's just drop that narrative.

However, it's one thing scoring goals for Liverpool but it's an entirely different thing doing it here. Liverpool's system is set up for the strikers. The strikers are the focal point of their attack. Just look at that ball by Sterling for Daniel's first goal - despite us having the more talented attacking midfielders how many times do you see them attempt a pass like that?

Not saying that Sturridge wouldn't be able to score goals here. He did so under AVB. It's just very unlikely that he would be able to replicate the performances he's putting in now in a Chelsea shirt.

Well, since you play your best players together the rest of his goals this season (15) were scored with Suarez playing because Suarez hasn't been injured since.

But, earlier in the season wasn't the first time Sturridge was scoring without Suarez.

Last season after Suarez's biting antics he still scored 5 goals in 4. So in fact, he's scored 11 goals in 10 appearances without Suarez playing during his time at Liverpool.

Of course Suarez playing affects his total tally; he's a quality player that makes his team better, it's inevitable, but to say that he's only scoring as many goals as he is because of Suarez is incorrect as him scoring 11 goals in 10 appearances without Suarez suggests.

Okay I have to admit he's doing pretty well and the Liverpool move has done wonders for him. Still not the right player for us though, he wasn't and he wouldn't be.

Why is he not?

Why is he not?

Well, I can't be sure how he'd fare under Jose, he might be something completely different than what we saw when he last played for us. Who knows? I'd rather save myself the embarrassment of us taking him back from Liverpool for 3 times the fee we sold him, so I don't want to find out

I'm not saying take him back but that doesn't explain why he wouldn't fit here as a striker.

considerring the size of his ego he would probably want wages at least equal to Rooney

Explain to me what he's done to convince you this bad that his ego is that huge?

True. A striker that scores goals isnt the player we need.

If we had Sturridge instead of Eto'o(similar players in my opinion) we'd be out of sight right now... Sturridge with Hazard, Willian and Oscar would be a VERY dangerous front 4... No doubt.

The fact he demanded 75k a week to stay at City when he was 19 or 20.... surely he must not have had that much a ego thinking hes worthy of that wages... no?

He's a really bad person because he wants to make money and listened to his agent.
