• Excellent stuff, Trizia

  • Thankyou very much 🙂

• Good article Trizia , i agree about Sturridge too, he did deserve his chance to play out and out centre-forward, especially in the light of Torres being so hopelessly out of form for much of the season so far .

  • Hope we don’t live to regret it….

• I enjoy your articles Trizia and followed your posts on CC going back to 2001. For once though I think you are wrong. Sturridge was not a winger, nor a striker, was one footed, always cut inside and invariably dragged his shot wide, was predictable and rarely got his head up to see the bigger picture.I think he has gone to a club that matches his talent. However, I do feel that we need another striker as I think Torres has finally lost it.

  • But do you think his greed was down to the fact that he didn’t get many chances – so when he did get the oppertunity to play he tried to hard to make an impression instead of thinking of the “team”

    • I can understand that viewpoint and many highly regarded and high scoring strikers will say that it is all about scoring goals.But he was never going to get many chances whilst Didi was the main man and Nando was ahead of him. Maybe Studge did try too hard, but he clearly didn’t have the talent to be able to achieve what he was attempting. However, his other problem was that given how many “number 10’s” and attacking midfielders there are in the game as a whole, the role of the centre forward as we knew it has diminished amd I don’t think he could see that. Just a personal opinion. Regards, Warren

• I agree with pretty much everything you have said and have been saying the same for a while now… On the subject of Señor Torres, he does move, not into the same spaces admittedly. It is my belief that despite being a £50 million player (yes that seems to be everybody else’s obsession), he actually needs coaching to improve and gain confidence… The hesitant first touch is really his undoing.
  Turnbull is a nice lad, but watching him fail to bark orders in the same way that petr does, is testament to a lack of confidence and to the fact that he should be our third choice keeper….

• Excellent article trizia. Torres is finished , he doesnt give a toss about our team or club. Ba showed more desire and willingness in one game than nando has done in two years, only problem , who will buy him now. Sturridge didnt seem to fit in from day one and when he did play he just looked greedy and impetuous. Good business getting 12mil for him.

  • I do seem to be in the minority with Sturridge – suppose we’ll never know

• I reckon Chelsea could’ve got more for Sturridge as he is a hot English prospect, and all the past hot English prospects have been sold for big money like Downing, £20M, Carroll £35M, Oxlade-Chamberlain £12M.
