A good acquisition for Liverpool. But they've still got a long way to go before they can break into the top four.
 
It's a humongous club - for me, one of the biggest in the world - and to have the fans and world-class players we have here is amazing."

Already been signed up to RAWK then?

He could say more or less the same thing about the Chavs except Liverpool has more support of course. Maybe he was worried about being snapped up by a mid-table club rather than a big club, oh wait...
 
could become a very good striker with regular football

he's 'good' at most things without being excellent at anything
 
aren't there lots of add on payments with a potential deal for Ba

Chelsea love lining the agents pockets
 
I think it's pretty clear that Liverpool would've tried to get Ba before Sturridge but he set his heights on something higher or was asking for silly money to compensate for the lack of CL football so I can't understand the criticism. Do people really think they can recognise a player's talent/quality and recognise 'value' better than a top-level manager? Come on.
 
I don't know, mate - the fact that DS is 'young n' English' might be enough for Rodgers. I find that Rodgers is sycophantic to the senior LFC players, and overbearing towards the younger ones. He is, in my view, far more talk than walk.
 
Man City. Chelsea. Liverpool.

Is it possible to place a bet somewhere that he'll play for Leeds at some point before he retires?
 
Never rated him personally, he's alright I suppose. possiblities of a good partnership with ratboy. If he is that good, then why couldn't he even move Torres when he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo?
 
Chelsea have done unbelievably well here. £12m for someone who never plays? Christ almighty. Liverpool have signed another bang average player. That's £36m under Rodgers on dross.
 
A lot of silly comments on this thread. Sturridge is talented but just a bit greedy and needs to learn how to be a team player. That's something that comes with some experience, as with most players in a similar position. I love how so many are calling him average when he's about as good as, if not slightly better than Welbeck who's been hyped up so much on the forum.:lol:
 
Chelsea are laughing, they get 12m for Sturridge then get Ba for almost half the price. I also don't see how Suarez and Sturridge will play together both are incredibly selfish. Shit signing for the money in my opinion.

Pah, he's Sterling with more tricks and less children. :D
 
Very interested in seeing how he does here. Big move for him, could work out very well.

Surprised Chelsea were able to get so much for him.

With Welbeck you get a very hardworking footballer, has some great linkup play, has shown a lot more than Sturridge at both international level and club level. With Sturridge you get basically the complete opposite, more suited to a team lower in the table due to his greediness and doesn't make up for his immaturity in play through hardwork in the way that Welbeck does. There's a big difference for me.
 
:eek: Welbeck is better than Sturridge Cheesy!

It's not even close IMO, he offers way more to the team.
 
I think this is a good signing though given his age and undeniable potential. Though him and Suarez should be funny.

On what basis is he as good as Welbeck or better? Moronic statement. The guy can't get a game ahead of fecking Torres.
 
He could go either way. Has clear potential but he's always been on the periphery at Chelsea. I hope he can replicate his Bolton form.

They'll be laughing alright... But then if Ba gets injured they'll have 1 striker for the rest of the season and everyone else will be laughing

He isn't as good as Welbeck however Welbeck is fairly overrated on this forum, we would probably sell Welbeck for 6mill to Everton knowing us but he is good for his age and has tons of potential. Some people act as if Sturridge literally is a donkey though which is annoying, he isn't as bad as people make out.
 
Why is it ridiculous for me to suggest that Welbeck isn't better than Sturridge? How has he shown a lot more than Sturridge so far? They have fairly similar records. Welbeck has had one decent season so far for us but he hasn't scored 10+ goals in a league season yet. Sturridge has with Chelsea.

People are referring to Welbeck being a hard working player; conveniently drawing away from the fact that ability wise, Sturridge is better and has more technical ability. You can't just say Welbeck is better because he runs around and works hard. Yes, he's a hard working player, but ultimately Sturridge has more ability. Welbeck's workrate helps to draw him closer, but I can't believe people are using it as the be all and end all. You'll all talk about how people don't rate Carrick because he's not the sort to run around and work hard, but then you'll adjust your arguments to suit you as you want when it comes to as player like Welbeck. I like him, but the fact that he's been hyped to the level where someone says he may be better than Henry shows how overrated he is. A decent player with some potential, but there's not much to suggest he's better than Sturridge right now.

People also talk of the greediness in Sturridge's game as if it's going to be there forever. He's a young player who will work on it as he develops more.

The Torres comment is stupid too. He's not getting a game ahead of Torres at Chelsea, yes, but Welbeck wouldn't either.
 
Sturridge is quite a way off Welbeck IMO, there's no chance Sturridge could've led the line for England at the Euros.
 
He will be stuck on the wing at liverpool. Much better through the middle IMO.

And? That was a 4-game spell in which England's frontline was fairly average. People seem to be using irrelevant and pointless arguments instead of looking at the two players and comparing to see who is better.
