Denis_B Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Think there'll be better clubs than us in for Sturridge. He's a top player on his day and would be a good signing for any Premier League side outside of the top 3. According to BBC Gossip column/Footy Latest, Spurs are considering making a £5m move for Sturridge. £5m? Some sites don't even try and make shit up convincingly. He cost Chelsea £8m didn't he? They signed him on a Bosman from Cittee - may have been some compo due to his age but not £8m surely? To clarify As Sturridge is under the age of 24,[17] and the two sides were unable to agree a deal, the fee for Sturridge was decided by a tribunal. The Professional Football Compensation Committee decided on 14 January 2010, that Chelsea would pay an initial fee of £3.5 million with additional payments of £500,000 after each of 10, 20, 30 and 40 first-team competitive appearances. There will also be a further payment of £1 million if the player makes a full international appearance, and Manchester City will receive 15 percent of any sell-on fee if Sturridge is transferred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 i thought brahimi couldnt get in at rennes ? if thats the case is he that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 To be fair to ITKs (not sure why I am being fair) the link originated from Rennes saying that we were going to loan him with an option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 There are very few people who are truly ITK at Villa and for whatever reason (abuse mostly) they are choosing to keep their info to themselves which is a shame for the rest of us. I very much doubt it's abuse, it's more than likely that they don't want to risk exposing their contacts so they can keep retrieving info from them. If Richard for example was to post everything he's heard, then his contact was to read he's been posting all the info on an internet site, his contact would probably then stop giving him info. Yep sounds fair enough. Or maybe everything is being managed much more carefully now. I remember with MON every signing would take several months to happen and every man and his dog knew about it beforehand. Each transfer this time comes right out the blue so maybe even MM and Gazton haven't been clued in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more than the £5m being quoted so far in terms of other clubs buying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Man City would laugh at a £5m bid for Sturridge. Probably wouldn't even reply. Double that at least. I'd love to think we'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What did Curtis Davies do to be considered a 10million player? In actual fact what the hell did Young and Milner do for us to pay near that amount, if anyone thinks Chelsea will sell Sturridge for 5Million are living in cuckoo land.

Ulver Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If we now end up signing Snodgrass instead of this French chappy i'm going to cry a little bit inside I thought for a brief moment we'd get some flair/excitement back in the side. Nothing wrong with Snodgrass especially, but he's very workmanlike and predicatable Hopefully it's not a crime to want a sprinkling of the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not sure if this is true or not but its from the Daily Mail so take it with a pinch of Salt, apparently Chelsea rejected a Bid for Ryan Bertrand from villa. http://tinyurl.com/bnc52dv Sounds like BS IMO.

NIVillan Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Im wondering if all this slagging of the ITK is because secretly inside they want to be an ITK and feel all left out. When and if it happens it happens. The ITK might all be correct but something happens last minute that is a deal changer. People need t chill out instead of going on an ITK hunt.

CI Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Personally I think Snodgrass would improve our midfield He has a creative edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has he done to be considered a 10m player ? Nowt Well, for starters he's been one of the hottest prospects in the country for a long time (which annoys me that we let him go), proved he can score goals regularly in this league when he was on loan at Bolton (8 goals in 12 appearances) and 12 in 50 odd games for Chelsea despite being played wide (a waste in my opinion, though he's capable). He's big, strong, fairly quick and very skillful and has an eye for goal. Also represented England at every level and the premium that goes with that (right or wrong). If you think he's not at least in the £10m bracket you're having a titter mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
