He's quick, he's got good feet (both left and right), he's versatile and he's an England international. The only shame is that we didn't take him as a makeweight in the Torres deal when he was first offered up.

Not exactly running about the house with excitement over this one but I take Scottbot/woof's comments, we can't attract the top names nor can we afford to pay top dollar for players (with no CL money for some time now) so picking up young players with potential is the way we have to go.
We might be paying over the odds I think, Sturridge has proved nothing and has already been judged to be surplus to requirements at two other 'big clubs'. The good thing is that if he doesn't work out and completely flops his market value will still be reasonable given that he's relatively young and is homegrown.
I hope he proves me wrong, gets a good run of games and starts banging them in. Rodgers strikes me as probably being a good man manager and Sturridge strikes me as a complex enough character who needs someone like that managing him (which he didn't have at Chelsea) so fingers crossed this is the right club for him.

I didn't think he was surplus to requirements at city, I thought he was out of contract and chose to leave
