Sturridge Signs

[Worthy4England]

Terrific.

[TKIZ!]

Anyone know what number he'll get?

Plus when did Worthy become Harry Redknapp?

[ohjimmyjimmy]

I guess it must be true - cos here's the PSG - and it's not danny welbeck...



(for any journos who are not DSB tuning in, Sturridge is the one on the right as we are looking at it...)

Excellent..looks pleased to be here.

I think you might find that OC seems to fit the word terrific in quite a lot on his interviews...

15 vacated by Riga, methinks (as does Wikipedia)

let's hope he's only stepping into his shirt and not his boots...

[Lofthouse Lower]

Well they're probably different sizes, so I doubt that'll be happening.

[Wandering Willy]

And hopefully Sturridge has studs in his.

This man does not speak for all of us.
Please, if you're a train driver, or an air traffic controller, do not stop now please wait until the end of your shift !

Does anyone know if Chelsea is paying his wages fully/partially? And was there a loan fee?

[aussie_wanderer]

is he quick?

[seanworth]

Happy with this signing and I think a much safer bet than Velo. Adds another dimension to the side and hopefully we will be able to exploit it.

We're paying £9,000 per week towards his wage which is approx 15%

I'm not doubting you - but when a talented but still bit-part and unproven player earns £60,000 A WEEK - then you know that the football economy has gone mad...

Agreed. Didn't TBH go from 8000 per week to 50,000 per week when he left us to sit on a bench at Chelsea? Crazy world football is.

Conor Clifford is a Chelsea reserve player who has never played for their first team = £12,000 per week

[thebish]

well - Sturridge had better be good...

he earns - in one week - over three times what I earn in a year...

Started on the right note, for me

“Owen Coyle convinced me right away,” he said. “I didn’t need to hear anything else after about 20 seconds.

“It was easy for me to make a decision to come here, a club that the manager actually wanted me to come to.

“It was said that Chelsea were offering me to go to Liverpool but that wasn’t the case. Chelsea told me from day one that they weren’t letting me go to any top four clubs, or Liverpool for that matter.
