capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I dont want him...Why settle for second best - keep Torres + Sturridge and then get either:FalcaoCavanniLlorenteIn the Jan window or next summer...Keep filling up our squad with 'could be's / wannabee's ' - we'll end up in 6th place... We need good youngsters and some proven talent....Sturridge is hardly proven.He had a good 12 month spell, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Bender. Now there are a couple of great German names. They'll never miss a penalty and will be the best player(s) on the pitch every big game they play.

Spike 12,049 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sturridge is hardly proven.He had a good 12 month spell, that's all.He is proven. He has proven that he can score goals from the right wing at Chelsea. He has proven that he can play as a stiker at Bolton.21 goals in 55 appearances since January 2011. It's not great but it's good for his first lengthy stint in the first team.8 as Centre foward and 13 as right winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Miroslav Klose. Polish name. May as well chuck Gerald Asamoah in there. And Cacau.They were rubbish, Klose is the exception rather than the rule. And Podolski doesn't count, Lukas is a German name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German defenders are just as big and just as nasty and just as happy to injure players as anyone in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I just simply don't understand why some fans and club officials feel that Andre is better option than Danny.If they are willing to give Andre a cf role then why not do the same for Danny instead.Not only will itl save us 20m but also give him the opportunity to really prove himself.If it doesn't work out then we could always sell him in January.

Everyone will just wait it out until summer and then sign him up for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will just wait it out until summer and then sign him up for free.Actually - Jan transfer window is 99% MORE EXPENSIVE than the summer window - as clubs are 'panic buying' - I'm sure I read a report on that from SSN last year - that players went for 30-50% more in Jan transfer than they were 'allegedly' available for in the summer window...EDIT: Also - thought he had a further year, e.g. contract expires in 2014?

I'd rather see him get sold for very less or nothing at all after getting chances than for 20m without any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
