Get rid ! I mean ,for a striker with seemingly all the talent in the world ,I've slowly but surely become heartily sick of his posturing.
See Collymore
Baffled by this post, hes arrogant because he wants to play? isn't that the goal of every football player to be in the first team. I haven't heard any comments from Sturridge about being on the bench yet his attitude is constantly questioned by fans, what is this based on exactly? I think its pretty obvious he isn't the player he was and if you don't rate him then fair enough but why people constantly make comments against his character with zero evidence to back this up is beyond me.
As for him getting opportunities again this baffles me, the guy has had 2 starts and few sub appearances so its not like he's out there playing poorly after being given a fair crack of the whip, hes clearly a bit part player and his form reflects that of a bit part player.

So that kind of bounces your debate out of the basket and just for 'extra elucidation' as a striker I do rate him,but I've watched him fling chance after chance back in the managers and fans faces by his distinct lack of fight ( both this season and last) whilst wearing the red shirt. I even stated 'curiously enough' in the post you quoted that a striker with seemingly all the talent in the world has shown little of the attitude needed to impress the manager. I mean you're entitled to your opinion ,but speaking from a more personal perspective the Palace game (incidentally' a game early in the season) in which he started ,set in stone my opinion he needed to go.
