Daniel Sturridge

Once we get Lukaku back and have him banging in goals left and right, people won't even remember we once had this guy what was his name again, Danny something?

I don't think we'll simply forget about Sturridge. Personally I would've loved to see us going into next season with Sturridge, Lukaku and Ba, would've been a nice, versatile, young strike force.

Sturridge is making a name for himself, and with this Suarez ban he'll definitely solidify himself as one of the premier strikers in the league in my opinion. He's a good striker with a bright future ahead of him.

Nice litmus test today. Two players scored.

One was someone we let go and represents our past. The other is a guy on loan from us who represents our future (hopefully).

Some fans bitch and moan about us letting one go. Others celebrate the great job the other is doing and look to his return.

:tophat:

Yup no denying Lukaku is the future :)

As The Skipper says - would have been great having Danny and Lukaku and BA :)

Oh well Lukau, BA and xxxx - still sounds good to me :)

It really is sad, I always got shot down for saying Sturridge was good enough to be our second choice striker but yeah, gutted he's left us still. Don't blame him though, good move for his own career. If Torres wasn't here Danny could've been a very important player for us by now.

Last season our best attack was when we ran out Danny Boy - Torres - Mata. CFC scored a lot of goals w/ that formation. Ask man U. If it wasn't for Webb CFC would have beaten them @ da Bridge.

Shutup. There is an ex-blue thread for a reason. If you don't like him, that is you, don't understand why personally why but he deserves recognition when he does well, especially as he was not given a chance to prove himself here.

For me he is better than Torres, and it was mistake letting him go...but I won't cry for him after every goal he scores... It was stupid form our board but I don't care about him anymore....

Glad he left. Not that we have much better upfront at the moment but he was far too inconsistent for my liking. Fortunately we have Torres who is very consistent at being complete shit.

Inconsistent in what sense, can you please elaborate?

Decision making.

Well maybe that had to do with the fact that he only started twice for us this season and then came off the bench with only 5/10 minutes to go? He wasn't given enough minutes for you to call his decision making inconsistent.

His decision making at Liverpool isn't inconsistent at all right now and that's simply due to the fact that they've given him a run in.

That much is true. I still dont think he will ever be world class. Thats what Chelsea needs right now, a world class striker.

This was the argument that really annoyed me the most - people were happy to see Sturridge go because supposedly he'll never be world class (which is easy to say, as a lot of people wrote him and even Lukaku off based on a couple of minutes). No one knows whether he'll be world class or not. Sturridge would have been infinitely better for us upfront this season if he played the minutes Torres played for us this season, I'm very sure of that.

We didn't have a world class striker at the start of the season but that doesn't justify us not playing Sturridge or making the decision to sell Sturridge okay.

We would've been higher up the table and probably would've won a cup or two by now too in my opinion if we played him instead of Fernando. He's proving that at Liverpool - in his 11 games there he's scored 7 already which include goal and assists against the likes of United, us and City; he's already scored more goals against big teams than Torres has for us.

Will he be world class? We don't know, it's easier to be pessimistic about it though as it's hard to predict such in football. What I do know though is that Sturridge will be a very good striker if he'll continue to play minutes in his preferred position, something we failed to do.

Turned out to be 100% correct - outscored Ba and Torres combined with ease despite playing less minutes than both, brilliant transfer by our board. Other than Robben the only player we have made a profit on during Roman's reign :ph34r:

liverpool's system of play is system of play is different from chelsea's.....here our strikers dont get service....the fact that we are getting goals from defenders like cahill and attacking midfielders tells so much about our style of play
