Well, see, this is part of the problem running through the supporters group in the last few years, they care more about "liking" players than about winning. If you look at it objectively, Sturridge is a cracking player, but Lukaku is world class. If Suarez and Sturridge is one of the best duos in England, Suarez and Lukaku would be one of the best in Europe. Hands down.
But, you "like" Sturridge more, and couldn't give two shits about the CLUB succeeding, so, yea....
In any event, it's by no means suggesting Sturridge isn't a top player, I'd take him above almost every other striker in the league except maybe van Persie, Dzeko, Aguero etc. But Lukaku has the ability to be one of the top players in the WORLD. He really is that good. And in the end I "like" our club more than I "like" any one player.
You apparently support Sturridge Football Club. That's fine, there is another group, Lucas Football Club, there's also Borini Football Club, there was a Carroll Football Club etc.
I prefer to support the success of the team over the success of any individual player.
But, to each his own...
Anyway we're never going to get Lukaku but it's fun to think about.
Surely the bits in bold are a contradiction of terms are they not?
You either are world class or you have the ability to be. Suarez doesn't have the ability "to be" world class because he already is. As are Mignolet, Jones, Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan, Toure, Agger, Sakho, Skrtel, Coates, Enrique, Cissokho, Ilori, Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Henderson, Alberto, Coutinho, Sterling, Ibe, Moses, Sturridge and Aspas.
So which one is Lukaku. Is he already world class or does he simply have the ability/potential "to be" world class?
Either way, I wouldn't take any of those bitter cu*ts into our team.
