Glad we got someone who can take the burden off Suarez.

Let's hope he succeeds. We really do need something to go our way already. I'm so excited, even though I wasn't even for this signing. cheers

I understand it's help because Liverool has got no striking power, but cant you just buy a real CF? because you are gonna be looking for one again in the summer...

Brendan Rodgers said he sees me here for a long time - and I also see myself here for a long time. I've not signed here to play for a couple of years and then move on.

"I've signed to be here for as long as possible.

That settles that then.

by Mr Nick09 Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 17:28

well Mole, things can only go downhill from here. Might as well hang on to the top for as long as he can

Is he really what Liverpool are looking for? I don't really rate him that highly.

He has talent if his bad attitude and extreme selfishness can be resolved.

I say this constantly and people think i'm hating but maybe just maybe Liverpool are buying Sturridge because he fits the sort of inside forward they want to compliment Suarez and until they are consistently challenging for CL they can't attract any better?

by Mr Nick09 Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 17:38

they cant attract Llorente?

Bilbao are not going to sell him whatever may be the case..

by Guest Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 17:40

Don't know if he'll be a success, but he has the qualities that liverpool require of someone playing in the forward line, someone who makes those runs behind the defense from the wider positions, which allows Suarez to dictate play.

CL teams with more money will be of more interest to Llorente.....

Besides i don't think thats the type of forward they are looking to get.

Liverpool can do much better imo. He's average. Maybe he'll surprise me.

12 mill for Sturridge, then 7 mill for Ba. Chelsea have done great business.

Tell me a betetr IF that is available for that price? Ba? as an IF? RED come on brah!

If he keeps his head down, shuts his mouth up and works hard this could be a shrewd business deal tbh.

Maybe. Like I said, he may perform better at LFc and surprise me. I'm just judging him by what I've seen of him at Chelsea.

If you guys read through the Pool transfer thread in our section, it's very plain to see that most of us were also feeling a little jaded by the signing of Stug. Our system requires three forwards as we do not play with out and out wingers. It's two inside forwards and one false nine. Basically this signing pins down Suarez as our center forward, so there is not point in signing an out-and-out center forward like Llorente or Ba or whoever else.

We obviously still need cover for the three spots or better yet more quality than Borini/Sturridge but it's not bad methinks.

Borini-Suarez-Sturridge

What's an inside forward? hmm

Liverpool fans are unbelievable. They've been calling this lad a scrub for ages. He joins them and their opinions suddenly change overnight.

Anyway this is one sale this club will live to regret. Was never given a proper go at CF at Chelsea. He has terrific talent and athletic ability. Just needs proper mentoring and some heart as well.

When he's banging in 20 goals a season,Torres will undoubtedly get the blame despite 80% of the fans wanting him out. :facepalm:

Gil, there is nothing unbelievable about what we did. Sturridge was a cocky player playing for one of our rivals. We hated his guts.

there is one huge difference that sets apart a pool fanboy a chelsea fanboy, When a player wears our jersey we support him no matter what. Can't say the same about you lot.

So to answer the most important question of this thread, YES I f*cking love Daniel Sturridge :bow:

He won't, unless Suarez is suspended or injured. Even then I see Borini moving to the center ahead of Stug.

Anyways, this transfer will not help. Daniel Sturridge is not an influential player, and an influential player is what is needed at Liverpool Football Club. He's in the same class as Fabio Borini skill-wise, yet Daniel Sturridge is an egotistical footballer that attempts to play way above his footballing limits.

You've obviously never seen him play. "Footballing limits", please....

Doubt he would move to Liverpool if there wasn't chance he'd play his natural position. Like I said we'll see.

Besides despite his goalscoring record this year I'm still convinced wide right/left is still Suarez's best position.
