Who did he frustrate? Some random kids at these forums who know nothing about anything but bullshit twitter? Get real.

The ONLY reason Sturridge never flourished in Chelsea and that we sold him is due to that blonde cunt. If he wasnt with us, Danny would have played ALOT more as CF and show people how it feels to have a CF who can actually play.

"he would be frustrating the hell out of every1" - HOW??? by asking to be played and given a true chance as a striker instead of FLOPPES rather than starting 2 games in half a season.

Lol this thread will never end.

Sturridge is not a good striker for us because we need our striker to hold the ball and to create space for our midfielder.

If we kept Sturridge I don't think we would've been after Rooney right now. Fits the profile of the type of striker Jose's trying to bring in tbh. Wish we gave him a new contract instead of signing Ba.

He'll have a good season, think he'll score around 20 PL goals.

Not sure he is the striker that jose want. Sturridge will score tons of goals. No doubt about that.

but he is not the striker that we need.

It's like comparing mario gomez to mario mandzukic. Mandzukic will never score as many goals as gomez but he makes bayern much better because his link up play and tactically he is far superior.

Mou want rooney because he want a striker who can drop deep to link up with our midfielder and that is not sturridge

Our pathetic fans were booing him in his final year here. And it wasnt a one off either.

What an absolute cock up by Emenalo and his cronies, he's miles better than any other striker we have here.

His style is reminiscent of a younger Van Persie.

What a ridiculous post. Sturridge is more than capable of linking up with players.

Sturridge has always had the ability to link up, move well into channels and hold up the ball with his great feet.

He's more than just a poacher.

Blonde cunt? What a fucking twat.

Absolute thundercunt calling our own players cunts. Fucking pathetic moron.

I don't care if you don't rate him but to call our own player a cunt is bang out of order. Sums up the absolute twats on here

In term of moving into channels yes but link up play not sure about that.

I watched him probably twice with liverpool. When he picked up the ball his first instinct is to take on player and his off the ball movement is more about moving into channel. For us, we need players like RVP, Lewandowski, or Rooney who will drop deep and link up with our midfield.

But it's ok for you to constantly slagg off fellow supporters no offense but your double standards are shocking.

Not so much that the many times he had chances to pass and yet would take a chance himself when it was pointless and clear it wasnt going where he wanted.That may have been due to wanting to prove he did have the skill etc and show why he should be playing.If he had cost us 50m he'd still be here..just didnt work out and really they got the better end of the deal.Cant see him turning crap anytime soon...cant see Torres turning good anytime soon

precisely my point. also u answered urself there. he did those "selfish" acts to show us that he was the real deal. i saw today's match and the match against stoke and pool's last 5 fixtures of the last season, and i would not say sturridge is "selfish". he would take a shot if he thought he had a 10% chance of scoring but thats what strikers are supposed to do. i honestly cant remember when ba or floppes last scored from outside the box. sturridge on the other hand has the confidence of taking the shots.

also there is no point of him "turning crap"... he was always a good striker with a potential of something really special. he has the knack of getting on the score sheet which is exactly what you want in a striker.

I've closely followed Sturridge since he was around 16/17 and believe me, he definitely has the capabilities to be constantly dropping deep. Watch the game against Villa actually, even his goal you'll see he isn't the furthest forward player when he receives the ball. I actually think he's best as a second striker, behind a main striker because his link up play is and always has been good, but he has the potential to be a more complete striker as he matures.

Sturridge is in the mould of those players and that will be more evident as he develops and matures. I personally think that after Rooney Wilshere and maybe Carrick he's probably the biggest English talent out there atm.

sturridge can hold the ball better than torres and ba.

his movement off the ball is what makes the space for any midfield. i mean watch him and coutinho playing together. ultimate example of it. also NO, we dont ONLY need a striker who drops deep to recieve the ball in midfield (like rooney, rvp as you stated), we need some directness in our play which is what you get with sturridge.

also his link up play is brilliant and any1 who has watched pool's last 7-10 matches will tell u that.

Yes we get it, we sholdn't have let him go so quick, do we have to go over this again and again every time he scores?

People are actually just mainly discussing how good his goal was and how ironic it is that we're actually looking for a striker of his type.

Are we not allowed to do so?

Ofcourse but more often than not we go in full circle about why he shouldn't have never gone and all that, today has been one of the exception's.
