Sturridge Fee Statement

[Blueboy 14]

"A Chelsea Football Club statement on today's (Thursday) Premier League tribunal decision reads:

'We are content with the outcome of today's tribunal regarding Daniel Sturridge's transfer from Manchester City. The initial fee is very close to what we first offered. Any subsequent payments are directly linked to the success of the player and that is satisfactory to us.' ".

Glad they didn't get their 10 million

Fair outcome as it was always bound to be. A fair price for current ability and future fees depending on his progress. Even the end will be well worth it in the end i am sure....

[We Hate Scouse 10,260]

Didn't we offer £3 million?!? Fantastic outcome for us!

[NoFear 23]

The tribunal has fixed the fee to 3.5m initially with it rising upto 6.5m based on 1st team appearances and international appearances.. Sounds fair to me..

Good outcome for a promising young English striker if he turns out as good as defoe or bent i will be very happy.

Yeah i really hope he can be as good as Darren Bent lol

Sturridge has a lot of ability to be a top striker. Time will tell and he will need to take his chances.

Lol esk bent is one of the best of the ball movers and finishers in the premiership.

Well if you wanna set some standards for the kid set them high. I hope he is as good as Anelka sounds better.

Bent is a really good centre forward, i think it will be hard for him to be as good as anelka.

sturridge needs to be as good as pato & bojan to make it here.

if other young strikers are performing better elsewhere then we have failed once again to sign a future star.

Lol sturridge does not have that natural ability, pato is on a different level to what sturidge ever can be. Pato is a ready made player at a very young age he has never really been a prospect he is a fat ronaldo owen rooney level youngster.
