Use our rumours form to send us chelsea transfer rumours.
14 Apr 2012 23:04:21
If you read on of my posts down the page I was talking about our forwards. My question to you fans who slag Sturridge, is why do you criticize Sturridge for everything he does wrong, but when it's Torres you give him your full support? They're both Chelsea players so they deserve equal backing. Don't get me wrong, I think Torres is a great player and I have backed him since the start. I can assume its because 'Torres works for the team' but I truly think that if Torres had sturridges pace then Torres would do the exact same thing.
When the transfer window comes
- drogba out
- kalou out
- lukaku start or loan
- Torres out or bench player
- starting striker
The only possible solution if that Sturridge swaps positions with Torres. Sorry for the long post

Its about the attitude rather than form, Torres has been terrible at times this season but you cant knock his effort, where as Sturridge has had more success but doesnt try half as hard as he should do and doesnt play for the team. As for Sturridge playing main striker, i wouldnt give him what he wants for nothing, id make him earn it through his workrate, tracking back and unselfishness

I agree with all of what you said shed. I think he is already on the road to acheiving that. Ever since his stint on the bench hes looked a lot better. But do you agree tgat we should keep him or not. I think selling him is a step in the wrong direction for us.

I can't stand sturridge, my opinion, I dont like his attitude, I dont like the way he recieves theball and slows our play down his passing Is shocking. And he's far to greedy. At the end of the day top European clubs have top international strikers to succeed and he ain't one. As for the Torres comment Torres feeds off of the midfield and wingers creativity which we only have mata. If we had to proper wingers and some one lik snider or moura in midfield he would score every other game. BLUEBOY1

Jono - yes mate i would definitely keep him hes a useful player to have, i reckon he just needs a dominant manager to get him in line

Sturridge can be frustrating and greedy but hes an out n out striker who loves to score goals, he needs to be given the chance as the lone striker with dd n nando both struggling between them to get a hand full of goals give the bloke a break n play him in his position!

I agree BLUEBOY1 the blues need more creative midfielders like modric or snijder and another good winger like eden hazard or ajen robben

Your spot on man. Torres doesn't deserve to all the love he gets from the fans. Tevez has more league goals than torres this season, that says it all, in fact he has more league goals in 3 days than torres has this season. Give sturridge his chance up front if thats what he wants.

Sturridge reminds me of a striker called victor Thurgill who plays for my Sunday league team.Even if we get beat 5-1,as long as he gets the one,then he's happy.If we can get £35m for Torres then I say sell.Cant knock the effort he puts in but I want my strikers to score goals,and be judged on that.

Adam Johnson up for sale in the summer. Don't get your hopes up on us buying him though. Roman would rather waste 30/35 mil on unproven talent instead. Joke.

Just an opinion i have on our fowards
I think we should promote lukaku in to the first team instead of buying a new striker. The only reason i see to buy a new "proven" striker is if we were selling both torres and drogba.
Even if we did sell both, we have a striker in sturridge. Im not going to go on a rant about him in this post because it is un-related.
I think we need to buy one back up striker.

With drogba going in the summer, we need to concentrate on making Fernando our main man. Think sturidge isn't a out and out striker, so we do need a back up man, we should try getting Ba from Newcastle on the cheap. Torres, lukaku and Ba would be good up front as lone strikers with the right wing men to supply them
Agree2
Disagree1
Get rid of sturridge asweell, he's only scored tap ins and he comes inside with his stronger foot and still can't create a goal for himself he's over rated because of his pace and big headedness. Drogba go asweell, Torres lukaku and a new striker
Agree2
Disagree0
We spent 15m on Lukaku yes he is a raw talent but hes got immense ability and potential, he NEEDS to be in the 1st team plans next year and play a role as the back up striker, he should be playing in all the cup comps next year as a starter in my opinion.

Sell drogba, buy higuain and let lukaku go out on loan to gain experience.

First off either Drogba or Torres MUST go. after that either Lukaku must be your #2 and the manager needs to rotate or he needs to go on loan to a place where he will get a ton of time. Id prefer it to be a good footballing side too and not a Stoke which doesn't really promote developement. If he goes on loan we obviously have to bring in someone as a squad player but if he doesn't I think a 3 of Torres, Lukaku, and Sturridge is sufficient.

Am going wembley Sunday l. Can't wait , have a feeling it could be fairly comfortable , seeing as their cb pairing looks like gallas and nelson. Sturridge should play to exploit their lack of pace. Would prefer l'pool in the final i guess .
