Daniel Sturridge

[The Skipper 20,609]

I did not say that to compare whatsoever. I made that statement to illustrate that saying 'id trade him for Sturridge' is just the kind of short term knee jerk you get around here.

Also, every player is 'in his different situation/scenario'. It doesn't mean I cannot react on the original implied comparison involved.

My point was though that if Sturridge was the number 1 striker at a decent club that he'd also easily pull Lukaku numbers at the age of 20, and his Bolton loan + him playing out of position here and still grabbing 11 goals attests to that.

It isn't that short term to me personally because I have always believed in Sturridge's quality, he just needed someone that believed in him to show it, which is what is happening right now at Liverpool where he's been banging in goals for almost a season and a half now.

According to your own statement, the Liverpool situation and ours cannot be compared - especially for strikers. However, I think Sturridge is really good, but Lukaku's ceiling as a pure striker is heigher and he is proving his quality in number, not hypotheticals. Daniel might have, if he could have .. We will never know.

So yes: a shout saying we should just switch the two is short term hyperbole imo, Skip.

Based on what? It certainly isn't based on technical ability nor finishing ability. Sturridge was a superior finisher at Lukaku's age and his technical ability in miles (like 20 000 miles) superior to Lukaku's.

I mean sturridge has scored 28 goals in 35 pl apps for LFC. . . that's Zlatan/cavani like numbers.

If only. If only he was actually given a proper run in.

He would have been up for golden boot had it not been for injuries.
