    He chose United over Chelsea, it happens. No biggie as far as I'm concerned, that's the players choice. I'm glad we didn't get him personally. Other players have chosen us over United. As I say, it happens.

    Mate, I wouldn't bother with them. I think we came out of it well personally, gives us a chance to look at better options.

    Exactly, he scored so many because the team was 100% set up just to service him. And he still #bottled all the important chances.

    He's scored 1 goal in his last 9 hours of football, a penalty in a 3-1 loss.

    Personally I think he'll do well at United. Time will tell.

    I see this has hit you hard Astro. How's the VVD signing going?

    Time will tell if he can emulate his goal scoring feats at Utd. But as I Say, he's a proven PL scorer.

    Imports are always a risk as to whether they'll adapt. Which is why those who've done it in the EPL are so well bid.

    If he falls on his face, Maureen will have a lot of expensive egg on his!

    Stats say he's proven to knock in several goals against teams who are already beaten but score almost none against the top 6

    Then again, Mourinho plays for draws against the top 6 anyway

    Has Sturridge even got 9 hours of football in him?
