Why Spurs Must Go All Out And Sign Chelsea’s Sturridge
22 year old Daniel Sturridge has shown his striking skills during his time in the Team GB Olympic squad. However, as soon as the Englishman re-joins his club Chelsea, he is set for crunch talks with the London club as he wants to know where he stands regarding Di Matteo’s future plans as they look to defend their FA Cup and Champions League trophy.
The Metro have reported that Sturridge would be willing to leave Stamford Bridge if the Chelsea manager fails to promise the hot prospect game time, and with Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham all interested in signing the striker, it looks like finding Sturridge a new club would be an easy task.
But, I think there is only one club which Sturridge should sign for if he is to leave Chelsea, and consequently, here are three reasons why the Chelsea man should sign for Spurs.
- He’s Affordable
With Spurs only having one striker who has experience in the Premier League, Jermain Defoe, it is essential that Spurs purchase a striker who has shown their adaptability to the Premier League. Sturridge has easily shown his potential to be a leading Premier League striker, scoring 8 goals in 12 appearances whilst on loan with Bolton last year.
Additionally, with rumoured Tottenham targets Leandro Damiao, Adebayor and Lewandowski all being much more expensive than the Chelsea forward, it would make more sense financially to buy the home-grown talent.
- AVB Likes Him
Up until his sacking in March, AVB played Sturridge constantly and helped to develop him as a footballer. By playing him in the striker or right wing position, he replaced the likes of Drogba in the first team and helped to see him kick-start his career in European football, as he appeared in the Champions League a numerous amount of times.
However, since March, Sturridge rarely appeared for Di Matteo, it has led to questions about his future at the bridge. But, if he is to reunite with Villas-Boas, he would know that by taking a step to move to their London rivals, he would be featured in Tottenham’s long term plans.
- He’s Flexible
A great attribute which saw him be favoured by AVB is his ability to play on the wings or upfront as a striker. As demonstrated by his Team GB performances, he has the ability to play the poacher role whilst also being able to show his incredible finishing ability, as shown by his lob of the keeper against the UAE.
By being able to play in 2 different positions, Sturridge would be more likely to get game time and could see him become a key member of the Spurs squad.

Daniel Sturridge is one of the most overrated players i have ever seen & he`s not a team player .Football at the Olympics is not even close to world class so lose that attitude .He`s another Defoe & what Spurs fan would want that ? hope he doesn`t come & as soon as he was dropped ,Chelsea played better.

i dont know I got a good feeling about Remy i think he’d be burst into flames in this league. He’d be perfect for AVBS system hes quick can dribble but is also powerful and good in the air. Hes better then sturrage and def better the Walcot.

Dream on spurs remember the modric saga last year 40 mil and still wouldn’t sell even though the player wanted to leave, well I don’t think Chelsea would sell him to you even for 40 mil and as spurs have no money I wouldnt even waste your time.

I think ‘Roodsbee’ needs structured therapy re Spurs’s lack of cash! I was going to you’re ‘two bob’ ground in 1976 when Spurs were playing away, prob before you were born, when you were in the second div. I was 11 and could tell then Chelski’ were a racist club with idiotic fans – not much has changed. We have to buy someone quick, even if it from a scum team!!

While I understand what you are trying to say Duncan, it’s absolute bollocks. You claim Chelsea have “racist and idiotic” fans. Every club does some people are just scum. Just because one person says/does something racist or you had a bad experiance 40 years ago it doesn’t make your, holier than thou, opinion correct. While I don’t fully agree with Roodsbee, there is no evidence to prove he is racist in any way. I find it sad that a man of your age has to resort to petty name calling. Grow up.

Dumcan don’t throw your toys out of your pram, your sweeping statement that everyone involved with Chelsea is racist is nothing short of pathetic, our club has a number of black players and I for one do not class myself as a racist, and what that has to do with what I said previously is completely irrelevant. My point is you wouldn’t sell us modric at an over inflated price, we certainly wouldn’t entertain spurs putting in a Tight fisted offer for Sturridge if modric is 40 mil then Sturridge is 25 mil to you lot.

Dude, you’ve got some serious problems man. If all Chelsea fans are racist, why would Ashely Cole and Drogba be so beloved by Chelsea fans? Come on man, you better consult a mental doctor or just destroy your own brain.

One name, Terry’ a total embarresment to
Ledley who had no luck, fate is hard to articulate. He epitomises Chrelski! Look at you’re fan base, that will give you the answers. Scum bags. Buy modric – he deserves you!

The above proves that you know sweet F A .so get back in your box and roll in your own shite as you seem to have plenty of it.

Sadly, I think Roodsbee is right–although that shows me only that Chelsea are silly. We knew that already, tho.

At least we’ll be silly in Champions League next year..

As defending champions.

*TEXT SPEAK DELETED* What is wrong with Chelsea fans, you all leave school aged 7? This is embarrassing…

HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH – Period!
August 3rd, 2012
Totally agree. At last a realistic target for a team not in cl. Sturridge is young and has pace and scores goals. If he is selfish then so are most top strikers. Importantly he is premier league savvy. Get him now Daniel…

if chelsea want to sell sturagde they should not sell him to spur.because last season,they knw that we need modric personal but they no sell him 4 u

Saying Sturridge is “flexible” is idiotic. He’s a center forward and that’s it. AVB played him on the right wing because he was desperate to play a 4-3-3 formation and we hadn’t had a true RW since Duff. While he possesses the physical attributes to play wide he completely lacks the mentality. Countless were the times Drogs, Mata, Nando and Frank (not to mention every Chelsea fan) screamed because HE WON’T LOOK UP TO PASS. Personally I want to keep him to back up Torres instead of blowing more coin on a big name striker that either screws with Nando’s confidence or languishes on the bench if Nando comes good. As a signing for Spurs, what with your inability to pay Adebayor and only Defoe in the fold, yes he makes sense. But you’re crazy if you think you’re getting anything other than an above-average center striker with questionable work ethic.

Well Said: Sturridge has the physical attributes but has not developed mentally has a team player.Chelsea played way better without him. We should loan him out for this season. But we need a goal hungry Striker this season. HULK or FALCAO will b ideal to defend both trophies
