I'm pretty sure Chelsea offered us Sturridge as a part exchange but for whatever reason it was rejected (I don't know if Sturridge rejected us or if we rejected the chance to sign him - IIRC, he was on quite substantial wages for a player effectively similar to what N'Gog was for us and his wages were astronomically higher, guessing we probably didn't want any part of that - £60k a week maybe?).
edit: Credit to the lad for doing what he's done at Bolton, will be an interesting year for him next year. We'll surely get a clearer picture if we missed the boat or not. The more I think about it, I not convinced we did miss the boat but time will tell.
