CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 FlashinessSeems to be what most fans judge players by even though it accounts for absolutely nothing on the pitch. So you'd rather see him leave for free? Not sure what the alternative was since the managers were never playing as striker. I'm not arguing Sturridge's credentials as a striker but the actual situation he and we were in and that you'd be an idiot to actually think he would have stayed if we didnt sell him.The resentment from Chelsea fans about the sturridge situation was not the actual deal which was good business consider the circumstances but rather the fact that we did not give him a chance to be a player for us even though at the time our only other option was to play with 10 vs 12 a.k.a playing with Torres as our striker.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Did i said that?That was a poor management to let him rot on bench like thatIf he was given a real chance, he would still be there and signed a contract extensionYeah of course he would have stayed if he was getting his chance at striker, that's all he wanted. But you can't criticize the BOARD, they did the best they could have done in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about why we sold him is stupid. You should instead complain RDM was the reason he left because he never gave him a chance.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That's exactly our point, managers see Torres as a striker but he can't score and stick the only striker we had who could consistently score goals for us last season as not good enough to start as striker for us. That's some serious logic, watch Torres play he doesn't even play as a striker manages 2 shots per match at most and is awful inside the box yet managers saw him as a striker? No they saw him as the most expensive Roman signing a top payed player and their job was to try and make him score and 4 different managers failed to do that. I don't understand how you turn this into Torres vs. Sturridge, clearly not understanding my point AT ALL. We're talking about why he was sold, not how good he was.
