Roy Hodgson wants Daniel on loan in January

Roy Hodgson is making a ­surprise bid to sign Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge in a bid to save Liverpool’s season – and his own job.

Kop boss Hodgson wants to take the England Under-21 international on loan with a view to a £5million transfer and will open talks with the Double ­winners to push the move through for the start of the window.

Sturridge has yet to stake a place in the Chelsea starting line-up and could be interested in the chance of a game at the Kop – where Hodgson wants a new ­attacker to give Fernando Torres help and the occasional rest.

The talented youngster, 21, joined Chelsea 18 months ago from Manchester City when his ­contract expired but he has been left on the fringes at Stamford Bridge.

But Hodgson knows him well and thinks his kind of versatility – he can play through the middle or supporting the main striker – is just what he wants.

The fact Liverpool would like him on loan first – with a chance to buy if he does well – also adds fuel to the suggestion under-fire Hodgson needs to turn things round for his own sake.

Chelsea are aware of Liverpool’s interest in Sturridge but are yet to decide whether to let him go.

Boss Carlo Ancelotti will want another striker signed next month or he will leave himself short.

Ancelotti’s spies have been watching Cardiff City’s England new boy Jay Bothroyd, whose contract is up in the ­summer, and there are other potential targets.

Sturridge cost Chelsea a fee of up to £5m at a tribunal.

Liverpool would pay that kind of money if he pays off for them. His big wages do not scare them either.

The loan arrangement would also suit the young striker who wants to be sure his next move – if he makes a permanent one – is right to make sure his career finally takes off.

Sturridge was in the City side at 19 but left after a contract dispute.

Back in the mid-90s we were briefly linked with his uncle Dean. I'd say the same about both of them - decent players but not really Liverpool standard. Besides, what Daniel said when he left Citeh suggested that he reckons he's God's gift to football. No thanks.
 
He'd certainly get on with Roy and his "highly revered manager around Europe" persona then. Neither have anything much to back up their high opinion of themselves.

Carlo Ancelotti is under even greater pressure to add to his Chelsea squad this month after striker Daniel Sturridge requested to go out on loan this month, with Liverpool among those clubs looking at taking the 21-year-old until the end of the season.

The player, signed on a free transfer in July 2009 from Manchester City, has told the club he is frustrated at his lack of first-team chances and wants a move until the end of the season.There is currently very little chance of Chelsea agreeing to a loan but his disquiet shows the depth of problems Ancelotti has among his strikers.

Once tipped as the best young player of his generation, Sturridge, who sat out his contract at Manchester City for a lucrative Bosman move to Chelsea, has not made the progress that the club hoped. He was signed by Frank Arnesen, the club's director of football, before Ancelotti arrived and since then the Italian has given the player just two Premier League starts in 18 months.

Liverpool would be expected to cover the majority of his wages of £60,000 a week, although whether he would represent a solution to their problems is debatable. In 11 Premier League substitute appearances this season so far, Sturridge has failed to score. His two goals have come in the two games against Slovakian team MSK Zilina in the Champions League.

So we are talking about a guy who after achieving the sum total of fuck all in football, used his 'potential' to get a 60k a week contract, after holding out for a bosman, then played twice in two seasons.

And they talk about these lads getting too much too soon!

Surely a players character counts for something? He doesnt sound like much use to me just another ego on a twat.
 
Sturridge has done exceptionally well for himself by selling his potential and achieving the sum total of fuck all.

Earning more than Yossi?
 
So how is he different to Ngog? At least Ngog has some game time under his belt which may improve him as a player.

Sturridge played 3 times from the start and 13 tmes as sub in his first EPL season (with Citeh) and last season he started twice with 11 sub appearances with Chelsea.

He scored 4 EPL goals with 3 assists for Citeh and one EPL goal for Chelsea.

Woop-De-Doop
 
I think he's got the potential to be quite a decent player. Obviously moving to Chelsea for the money was a bad decision

Decent being the key word though, he's nowhere near deserving the salary nor the self-opinion he has, not that confidence is a bad thing. I wouldn't mind taking him on loan because we have no one else and it's a cheaper, low risk deal, but anyway.. I'm yet to see what the fuss is all about.

0 commentsChelsea will not allow Daniel Sturridge to join Liverpool or any other club on loan.
Carlo Ancelotti believes the former Manchester City striker still has an important role to play in his side’s title defence.
Ancelotti said: “Daniel Sturridge has not asked me to go on loan and if he does ask me I will tell him: ‘no way.’
“He is a good player and will soon have more opportunities to from the beginning of games for us.â€
