Yes they do have only Torres as the other recognized striker after Lukaku went on loan but seeing the way they are set up, they only play with one striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The 3 players behind Torres last night were Hazard, Mata and Ramires. They will also have Marin back in time to come as well as Oscar who operates just behind the striker. Not too sure about the status of Benayoun, Malouda and Kakuta but they do have another young striker Lucas Piazon who can play as a striker as well. I don't think RDM rates Sturridge at all to be honest, seeing how little time he's been playing after the Italian took over AVB. Besides, Chelsea lodged a 35m bid for Cavani apparently.
i used to rate sturridge when he was at bolton but i dont think he has kicked on from there, i`m not a huge fan of him these days.
i dont think he`s ever going to be a prolific goalscorer, maybe chelsea have the same opinion.
i liked the look of that fella who played for sami`s leverkusen up front, not sure of his name but he was all action and had a bit of skill too, he looked like he`d suit rodgers playing philosophy perfectly.
Apparently Arsenal wants to make it a permanent signing but Real and Sahin are unwilling to do so hence why Liverpool is a better option. But Arsenal can provide ECL and it's probably more tempting to play at Arsenal seeing the quality players they have. I also heard they are offering 15m for Jesus Navas if I'm not wrong.
