sh74 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/863990-daniel-sturridge-to-opt-for-newcastle-transfer-despite-spurs-interest Daniel Sturridge 'to opt for Newcastle transfer despite Spurs interest' Daniel Sturridge looks likely to leave Chelsea at the end of the season - and he will opt for a move to Newcastle over his other main suitors Spurs because he feels the Magpies give him a better chance of regular first-team football. Sturridge, who turned heads with a starring role on loan at Bolton this season, has spoken of his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge - but only if he is given an opportunity to start games. But the arrival of Fernando Torres in January - and the increasing liklihood of Didier Drogba remaining at the club if and when Carlo Ancelotti leaves - could mean Sturridge is forced to request to move to get playing time. And although Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is thought to have made contact with the Blues already about the possibility of taking Sturridge in a permanent deal, the 21-year-old is thought to favour a club where he is likely to be a regular. ‘I want to play first-team football regularly for Chelsea but if the chances don’t come then I will have to try and look elsewhere,' he said this week. ‘I do want to play regularly here but for me, next season, it’s very important to play first-team football. 'I don’t want to say I’m going to leave the club and whatever Chelsea decide it’s not for me to make that decision - the only decision I can make is I want to play first-team football.’ Newcastle will have plenty of money to spend if signing Sturridge comes to a bidding war with Spurs, having sold former star hitman Andy Carroll to Liverpool in January for £35million. Manager Alan Pardew has also made no secret of his desire to sign a young, hungry striker with Premier League pedigree, meaning Sturridge fits the bill perfectly. However, Bolton manager Owen Coyle may still have some part to play in the battle for the England Under-21 star - especially as it already looks like he will be forced to begin next season without another of his top forwards Johan Elmander. On Friday Turkish side Galatasaray claimed they had reached a deal with the Swede, who is a free agent this summer, over a contract for 2011/12.

OoOGazOoO Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Sturridge would be a very good signing, young, a goalscorer, has pace, and will only improve. He would be excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I thought Larsson was older than he is, he is only 26. Would be a good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 My mistake lads he is at a bottom four club and Pardew said the signing wasn't from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Larsson is not a central midfielder from the continent. My money is on Leroy Fer of Feyenoord. If we sign anothercentral midfielder, it must mean someone will be leaving as we have an over abundnace of them at present. We have the likes of Nolan, Barton, Tiote, Guthrie, Gosling, Smith, Vukic, to name just some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Will probably be massively overwhelmed by this 'international signing' but I suppose whoever it is, is better than no one. p.s Please God, do not let Matthew Upson set foot within a 15 mile radius of St James' Park.

SUPERTOON Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Would think he is currently playing in England, Pardew would probably have ruled out him playing in England rather then just the bottom four. Stephen Ireland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
