Some seem to have short memories about Sturridge. Who remember the bright prospect making everything to try to convince his 4 times Champions League winning manager without eventually gaining more playing time ? Everyone did notice that he wanted to do a lot to impress and then that he forced his own play and eventually, wasn't efficient. Because it was clearly too much, he was too scattered but of course not short of desire and commitment.

Why would that change under Di Matteo ? Sturridge has an enormous ego, please where's the problem ? He wants to feel the confidence from his manager, to hear he plays well etc...

He wanted to convince Di Matteo of his ability ; it happened whereas he played in a brand a new LM role and after a 2011 year really full (pretty often players' form decline a bit after a year at high level, especially when it comes after the winter). One more time he certainly made too much whereas he wasn't at his best phisically. Really he's a selfish arrogant prick for all that. Fuck logic

People would prefer someone like Joe Cole who showed sufficiently how the 2 last years of their presence at the clubs was backgrounded by a complete absence of them calling into question their attitude and playing level by showing no signs of improvement ? How can we blame a young player who wants to prove himself week after week ?

There's nothing similar with a player with limited abilities who makes shite week after weeks.

We have an incredibly quick striker who is very direct in his play (how many were whining about players don't shooting at goal in the recent past ? Why do the same people moan when Meireles or Sturridge shots ?). He wants to succeed here or elsewhere, I don't see any wrong. He's young and has his own limits even if he can't accept it (I mean he cannot do everything)

I understand everything but his selfishness. Sure he's trying to prove himself but come on, consistently ignoring open teammates is just down right pathetic.

Hulk isnt realy taller than Moses. Yes, he might be more stocky, but in two years, Moses could

be that strong too. I just hope that Hulk is kind if player who will fight for every ball, not just try to do fancy stuff. And he will come here for better football, not just to be more famous and have more money. Like that Lavezzi, who has clearly lower standards to winning trophies.

So if we get Moses, those 10mio up or down, he is worth of try. We can always sell him for 8mio minimum in next years and we will have more options in attack. I dont see we will get two class players, and whoever comes, Moses signing wouldnt change much...

Also,I realy hope that KDB will take CM position eventualy to pair with Romeu. It would be great pair of young players. Kdb realy is versatile player, but if he can replace Lamps on less important matches this season, the. we dont need another CM.

saying moses will be as good as hulk is ludicrous and extremely hopeful. not to say, it won't happen but it's unlikely. hulk is a proven goal scorer who will improve our team instantly. moses on the other hand will take two years to even make a particular impact. he will mostly start carling cup games before that.

I guess we will buy one class player and as it seems also Moses. And that class player will be Hulk.

But I dont think Moses is that bad to play carling games. He is much better than Lukaku, Piazon, Josh,...

What I rate most about him is his experience in Pl and good performances against good teams.

After all, Cahill played for low table team and he turned fantastic.

Would rather we payed 8-10 million for Moses than nearly 40 million for Hulk, don't care how good Hulk is compared to Moses. You should look at the fact Moses is 21, homegrown and will cost 8-10 million compared to a 25/26 year old who will cost 40 million.

Moses is quite good, he's fast, direct and physical which people are saying are the major reasons why we should go for Hulk... also just because Hulk scores 40 odd goals a season in a minor league doesn't mean he will do it for us, if Moses scored even a quarter of that we would be saying it would be a class deal for us. Hulk might flop or might be successful where as Moses has played in England all/most his career and is used to the PL league so he isn't that bad an option surely, especially for 8-10 million pounds....

And then Torres scored 40 or some in the PL with Liverpool but does not do it with us.

Clearly that argument is not the best to down cast a player for the league he plays in.

Yes but you still have to consider the fact that Hulk won't score nearly as many goals in the PL sadly. PL is much higher standard of football and much more open. Hulk might not even adapt to the PL, thats another problem

Suarez came from a lower lvl league, and has done better then what Torres done at Chelsea.

So what's your point?

you will need to be tougher than your tennis players and cricketers

You're old enough to remember Australia whooping England time after time, after time after time....Enjoy it for now, it won't last long, Old timer.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Cant believe people are sticking up for Sturridge. That guy has some serious ego issues.

Probably because his goals, which he mostly scored whilst in an unnatural position, almost carried us for half a season.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Please Elaborate in how Lukaku is better than Moses

can you remember when the aussies could play tennis???????? was a long time ago

Potential wise Lukaku is better. Lukaku's got so much to his game that with a bit of fine tuning he could be one of the best strikers to have played at this club. He's also got the right attitude to succeed, which stands him in good stead. With Moses i could see him becoming a very good PL player, whereas with Lukaku im thinking one of the most feared strikers in europe

Do you remember when ENGLAND was any good at Tennis? Murray doesn't count as he is Scottish and doesn't even like the English. Australia is better than England at Tennis.

lukaku has the potential to be come a drogba esque player.

i don't see moses having this kind of potential. he is still young but i believe at best he will be a really good premier league winger. nothing more.

[Leif 6,006]

Lukaku.Is.Nothing.Like.Drogba.When.It.Comes.To.Football.

All they share is similar hair, body and the same ethnicity.

If he was white, people would be saying he could be Carroll-esque.

As things stand though, if we want to compare him to another player of similar build and ethnicity, he's more like Kenwyne Jones.

P.S. - Before I read this next comment again from anyone, no, Lucas Piazon is not 'the next Kaka'.
