Was reading Sturridges goals per games stats on the BBC yesterday and they are actually very good.
What is the problem with him? Why did he never get a chance at Chelsea, is he really that shite?

oh FFS - don't get me wrong I hope he does well and both Man City and Chelsea get proven wrong but somehow there have been 6 managers who've had a look at him and didn't think he was worthy of a chance in the starting line up.

Goals per minute or game ratio are useless if the player in question doesn't play 30+ games per season. See the Anichebe stat somewhere above.

Sturridge, based on his current level, is just another Nicklas Bendtner. I'm glad we've found some mugs to pay £12m for him as he's had plenty of chances but didn't convince.

In return we get a 26 year old proven goal scorer with crocked knees that hasn't missed a game in 18 months (apparently).
