Daniel Sturridge has warned parent club Chelsea that he will be forced to look elsewhere if he is not a first-team regular next season. The 21-year-old striker has proven his Premier League pedigree during a loan spell at Bolton, notching eight goals in 11 appearances since his arrival in January. www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6938798,00.html |

Now this one seems entirely feasible. How much?

This lad will be one of the great prem strikers in next few years, should go all out for him in my opinion.
Chelsea would be stupid to offload him, and even if they did, i could see sunderland, spurs, everton all ahead of us.
Maybe Simon Sturridge can put a word in ? Uncle isnt it?

I’m pretty sure he’s already said he’ll return to Chelsea and fight for his place so I don’t think anything will happen with him in The Summer (for any club).
Unless Ancelotti (or whoever is in charge) tells him outright he has zero chance of figuring in the First Team* he will start the season there.
* And I can’t see that happening given their other front men have struggled for goals and he has been scoring for fun.

why is Sunderland a better prospect than us?
loads of you put them to be bigger than ourselves but they seem to be a shadow of their former selves and we have bettered them for 3 seasons straight. Yes they have been in the prem longer but but so have west ham and look where they are.

Yes they have been in the prem longer but but so have west ham and look where they are. It’s a tough one. We have a lot going for us. As you say, 3 Seasons we have bettered Sunderland, we can offer European football next season and we have the cash for wages. Having said that, Sunderland have plenty of dosh too I’m sure (the Bent money for a start) and have massive crowds week in, week out and I’m sure a lot of players view them as a big club too. |

I actually think Abramovich might play a part in whether Sturridge is there come the start of next season, he's spent £50M on Fernando Torres who's been nothing short of wank when judging him on the goals that he's scored. Anelka and Drogba probably won't go anywhere and will want to fight for their place, why would they leave Chelsea? Then you've got Kalou who can play up front as well. That's a hell of a lot of strikers and if one isn't playing in my opinion they'll start to get splinters in their arse, I cannot see three starting which leaves two out in the cold. |

Sunderland are 35mil in debt secured on the sol but the creditors have been in recently to value the team up that sounds like sunderland are looking at another loan and securing it on their players.

Can't see it, would suit us perfectly playing up top in a sort of Fuller role but IMO is way out of our league.

I can't see him having a future at Stamford Bridge, he isn't a big enough name for Ambramovich.He'd command a bigger transfer fee but I'd prefer him to Defoe. I guess, pretty much the same teams would be in the mix for his signature too. Big wages though. |

Arsenal could do a lot worse. Top class player imo, destroyed us at the City of Manchester Stadium when they beat us 3-0 with Roninho's hat-trick.

He'd be an ideal signing and would be an ideal replacement for Ric.
However, I'm pretty certain that some people on here who have connections to him (via his Congleton roots) have said that he'd never sign for Stoke City. Unsure of how true this is and whether he'd 'change his mind' if he was to recieve a bloody high wage each week and a decent signing-on fee.....

I'd swap Bego +cash for Sturridge.
I can see Chelsea listening to that. I'd love to see Sturridge here, I can't see there being a problem with him playing for us as he's sent all his life in the Midlands / north west.
I really think pulis dropped one not trying to get him on loan in January.

I think we are no worser proposition than any side outside the current top 7. We are probably on par with the likes of Sunderland, Villa and Fulham as the 8th best proposition in the league. I know he's only really proven himself capable at this level over the last 5 months, but I still think he'd be worth paying 8-10 million for if that's how much was required.

I think they need a striker as much as a defence and 'keeper too. They RVP but he's an injury prone twat, so need another one that isn't Chamakh or Bendtner! If we sign him I'll be overjoyed but he should be able to do better than us sadly. Hell I think he'd suit Barcelona, that's how I highly I rate him. |

These scouts that Abramovich is ruled by seem to have identified him as THE young keeper to get. So that could put us in a strong negotiating position for Sturridge. The fact he spent quite a bit of his teenage years in Congleton and Sandbach could be another pull? This version of Stoke City is a different animal to the one he probably casually dismissed |

I'd love him here but I have no doubt that he would chose Sunderland over us as most players would. There seems little logic in that given that we have out-performed them for three seasons running and have just appeared in the FA Cup Final but it's a question of both money and players' perception. Like it or not, Sunderland are seen as a bigger club and a more attractive proposition for the better players than Stoke. Quite apart from which I'm sure they would be offering a better financial package than us to the player. We've achieved what we have on the back of a reputation that won't always endere us to some of the better players. It's a paradox because the very thing that has made us so successful is what might well put some players off joining us. First and foremost though players are interested in money and Sunderland would pay the man far more than we would.

As I say, he's only proven himself at this level over the last 5 months, and he still only has 14 Premier League goals to his name in 58 appearances at 3 different clubs. He's got bags of potential and I think he will be one of the leagues best strikers one day, but at the moment I'd be a bit concerned if we spent more than 10 million on him. |

Some players don't like being isolated in the north-east, regardless of the fact that there are some lovely places to live up there. Taken as read they get 10,000 more through the gate than us and have a superb stadium and training ground. But, at this stage of our Premier League journey, I doubt any financial package we'd offer someone like him would be dwarved by anything Sunderland put on the table |

If we swap Bego plus cash for Sturridge, I hope we have Kasper Schmeichel lined up as a replacement for Bego.
