    You need to be on the pitch to score goals.....Rom has been on the pitch while Sturridge gets his airmiles boosted with surgery trips. So Rom has followed his lead in going backwards<ok>

    Indeed there is a huge difference, that being, that one of them has Weetabix legs and has managed to be availabe for less than 60% of league games during his entire time at his club.

    Unfortuately for Lukaku there's nowhere you can fly to for treatment for being a donkey.

    You can only make a fair comparison when they have played the same amount of time....

  11. Or you could just judge a player on their own ability rather than trying to compare <laugh>

    If I had to choose between Lukaku and Sturridge to be my main striker then I'd go with Lukaku.

    If you opt for Sturridge you're effectively opting for Balotelli. Or Lambert. Or playing without a striker. A False Striker or an Invisible Forward as Brendan might say. Which would be brulliant.

    If I had to go back to the start of the season and choose Sturridge or Lukaku I'd still choose Sturridge.

    No striker is better than 10 men and no striker.

    What use is Lukaku when at no point could we have been drawn against Young Boys?

    He's scored 9 league goals. Are Young Boys in the PL?

    Lambert, Balotelli, Sturridge and Borini have scored 8 between them.
