lionsden 4,689 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've given up trying to tell people that Sturridge isn't a winger and shouldn't be played there.Only if we hadn't bought fernandon't scorres in the first place. the spaniard's arrival may have dented Sturridge's chances of playing in his favourite position. And with lukaku also coming in, He would have to make do with playing as a wing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with lukaku also coming in, He would have to make do with playing as a wing forward.Exactly. We might not like it, but that is the only position where he could get substantial playing time imo.

And he has no divine right to walk into the team straightaway, he'll have to earn his stripes, the way Studge did at Bolton and when given his chances in blue.Plus if rumours are to be believed Drogba's going out so there's a window there.We're going off topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he has no divine right to walk into the team straightaway, he'll have to earn his stripes, the way Studge did at Bolton and when given his chances in blue.I spoke with Lukaku on the phone last night and he told me it's a done deal Lukaku may have to prove his mettle first but I doubt any manager would play Sturridge ahead of him. It's the infamous Belgian wonderkid we are talking about here Plus if rumours are to be believed Drogba's going out so there's a window there.RA wants to kim him around to mentor Lukaku, apparently.We're going off topic We are merely basking in the spirit of transfer season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 A ) Yeah, I know he is more a second striker than an winger. But it happens that each games I saw of him (and each match highlight as well) he was playing on the wing. I know he isn't the kind of player to stay next to the touchline, he plays more ala Robben/Messi (he starts his run on the wing then he cuts inside). But, at the opposite of Anelka and Malouda, he is able to beat his man, to cross, to make quick passes, to speed the game.B ) It was in 2008/2009. The next season is the 2011/2012. Two years will be passed, and as the saying goes in french « a lot of water will have flowed under the bridge ». Back then he was 29 years-old, next year he will be 31 years-old. That's a big difference, especially for a winger (for who the speed and pace are important).C ) It was last year. Did you see how he played poorly this year ? To my honest opinion, next season he will be more likely to play like he did this year than the last year, ie bad. And yes Neymar isn't world class neither. But at the opposite of Malouda who next year would be useless as he will be very old, Neymar is an upcoming star. Furthermore, about what I did see, Neymar's qualities are more interesting for us than Malouda's.D ) LOLGreat post. You had some good points about Neymar being a winger in our side, but i still cant belive he will play like a proper winger in Englend.I dont think he is able to runing on the wing and make crosses. Its not is style of play. And i will say it again, i DO think he could help us, but i guss you understoodmy point already.About Malouda- Like i said, our intire team played shit, Malouda isnt a player who can carry the all team on his back. When the midfield is good, the strikers are good,Malouda playes great. And lets be honest, if the midfield and strikers wont improve next season nobody can help us do better. Not even Neymar. One year ago, Malouda played like a world class player, one year doesnt effect THAT much."Neymar's qualities are more interesting for us than Malouda's". Of course they are! But what im trying to say is that Neymar or any other young winger wont change everything, Neymar and Malouda have that the other players will be better(Essien, Lamps, Torres, DD ,a new MF like Wesley) to be effective them selves. Both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was improving for his own good.On topic. I don't see this happening, because Inter need to improe their midfield. By selling Sneijder they would do the opposite. And Moratti wants to have a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankLampard_8 7 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm curious to know what will happened if Lukaku will sign...who will play? (Torres?Drogba?)and who will substitute?(Sturidge?Lukaku?)I really want Lukaku in our team but i think that it will affect Sturidge's playing time...And it's BAD!!!He is a great talent that we mustn't lose!!

How many of our players have been on a CL winning side? (Yes, Anelka has, but aren't we about to sell him?) Wouldn't it be a good idea to have someone who's been there before? And 27 is not 35, ffs. Sneijder has 4-6 productive years in him. Seeing as he was the main spearhead for the treble in question, I don't think he's as bad an option as you seem to believe.

I agree with your point, though. I think the kids are alright and should be given equal opportunity with the veterans for playing time. Seeing McEachran, Kakuta, etc. on the bench or not at all is disappointing. Why go in for them, then let them rot on the sidelines? I wouldn't say it's just the board - Carlo didn't do his part, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The problem with our transfer policy is that the board seem to be obsessed with the 'finished product', rather than young talents like Sanchez, Pastore etc.So it seems. To me, the best type of players to buy are the players around age of 21-24 who are ready for big stage and want to prove themself. Players like Ramires and Luiz, not players like Neymar and Lukaku who are under 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballancee 5 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The problem with our transfer policy is that the board seem to be obsessed with the 'finished product', rather than young talents like Sanchez, Pastore etc.Agreed. Club is always drawn to players jumped the zenith of their abilities. Torres is a good example. I'm not convinced that his strong years are behind him, but his performance in May will now be proven correct. Now why we Sneijder? To a great player, but if you deal in England and Chelsea is a contentious issue. A Pastore would be a far better move. Player who has yet it is about to shine.
