Daniel Sturridge

[Badboy 1,526]

I think he will be the long term replacement to anelka. His agility and finishing ability is of a very high standard for someone his age, he is a better player than kalou and should start more games as a result. I think its been a brilliant bit of business in bringing him in to our squad !

see him more in the drogma mould ..agree seems to be very promising ..but Kalou does bring something to the table as well.

its good to have options

the only role kalou plays at this club, is denying a future world star by the name of Gael Kakuta of game time.

seriously mate, your overtakeing it with your kakutamania...

kakuta is ther to play another role... he should play at the top of the diamond and not as right winger... i know its his learned position... but hes more a #10, than a winger... so calm down...

If Kalou was keeping Kaka, rather than Kakuta, off the bench, then I'd be worried.

However, back to the topic, Sturridge has delighted me. For a young man coming to the club it is always going to be hard to break into the first team, especially with the likes of Drogba, Anelka and Kalou already established in that role. He's done exceptionally well when called upon, and made some important contributions - four goals and a number of assists, including the set up for the winner against Fulham and Lampard's penalty against West Ham. He's done well considering he's had limited opportunities, so I'm delighted with his progress.

As BlueLion says, done brilliantly with the limited chances he has been given and has certainly shown he deserves more chances and i am sure he has a good future with us.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Great signing by the club and shows the clubs commitment to building a team for the future. In 3-4 years Sturridge could prove to be the main man at Chelsea and England. I think he is more in the Anelka mould , he will drift , he is lightening fast , he is an excellent finisher and his link up play is quite good. He is more speed than muscle which is why I think he is better compared to Anelka than Drogba.

Sturridge seems to have got his head down and got down to his work, he'll keep on poaching at this rate and I think can be a great asset to the club as long as he keeps this mindset

[boshman 1,073]

Really impressed with Sturridge this season. When he has started he has scored goals, ok against championship opposition but he can still put the ball in the back of the net. He brings more to the table though. His strength and his speed are a fantastic combination to have. I think he should be given a long run in the first team to prove his worth. Don't think that will happen this year as we are getting into the "nitty gritty" but definately next year. Great signing and looking forward to seeing him become a top striker here at Chelsea.

It think it has been good management by Carlo by playing Sturridge in the less-pressurised games, which allows him to settle in and gain confidence. It would have been silly to throw him into a huge title match.

However given he has scored a few goals already this year I would like to see him play a bit more from now until the end of the season.

[NattyBlue 44]

Borini - Sturridge could be a thing of the future...with Kakuta putting the balls in for them

[zolayes 14,489]

with Matic but we must be patient

[kakuta44 16]

great future ..... cant wait to see the other youngsters like kakuta borini and matic having their chances regularly ...

[Fulham Broadway 16,977]

Sstill needs some fine tuning in my book. Attacks have broken down when hes given the ball away. At the moment if Anelka and Drogba were struck by lightning, the board wouldnt use him as regular striker. Theyd get someone else in.

That said the fellas only young, so give him time.

[zolayes 14,489]

as I said be patient ,,,remember we waited 50 years for our first title win ..then 50 years for our second..

rome wasn't built in a day ,,and even Roman took a few years .. off topic ,,his wealth increases by 3billion last

daniel sturridge is one of my favourite players already. hes good to watch. he injects more pace and skills into the team and ups the tempo.

i agree he is more like anelka. he does need to improve his passing in my opinion
