Citeh want £10million....

...From Chelsea for Daniel Sturridge. Reason? He's on £65,000 a week at Chelsea...

MANCHESTER CITY are demanding a staggering £10million from Chelsea for striker Daniel Sturridge.


City go head-to-head with Chelsea at a transfer tribunal later this month over Sturridge's controversial departure.

Sturridge, who was 20 on Tuesday, quit Eastlands at the end of last season after snubbing several lucrative contract offers.

Instead, he signed a four-year deal with Chelsea worth £65,000 a week.

And City base their claim on his enormous salary.

Officials at the club will bring evidence of bids and interest from other clubs, as well as increased contract offers for Sturridge while he was their player.

They have examples such as Spurs' Robbie Keane, who earns just £10,000 a week more than Sturridge but was sold to Liverpool in July last year for £17m.

Sturridge was disappointed to be left out of the squad for Chelsea's Community Shield victory over Manchester United last month.

And despite playing a big part in pre-season, he has made just one six- minute appearance as a sub in the league so far.

The Professional Football Compensation Committee - made up by members of the LMA, Premier League and PFA - is set to hear the case.


Football really has gone mad when a 18 year old who's not even getting regular football is on £60k a week. That and Citeh have the nerve to complain about big wages luring talent away...

I can: Ha-******-ha! Hope Chelsea batter them in the league. I didn't like Chelsea when they bought the title, but i much prefer them to ManC, at least Chelsea were a decent team already.

How the Hell are they trying to claim £10m for a player who was out of contract and over 18? **** it, lets claim £10m for when Graveson left for RM!!!

well incase some forgot its not really just about city having lots of money its about the way chelsea tapped sturridge up since the start of last season.

it might sound rich from a club that "hounded" lescott but i feel if everton had a case against what city did i would be the first to say to everton go after city and give them what they deserved i really would.

but chelsea the way they tapped sturridge up wasnt any different to the way they got done for tapping that other young lad up and the only difference was sturridge was over 18 years old.

the reason we are supposed to be asking for £10m is the work we put into sturridge before our money came in and i can see why were not letting this go because what a couple of you have said is probably right that £10m is like 2p to our owners but its not the point we have to stand firm on this because its not just about money coming to city its about giving coventry what they deserve which is a percentage for when they sold sturridge to us all them years ago so why should they miss out just because city have money ?

also as it says we have facts that we turned big bids down from clubs because we wanted to keep sturridge and them bids were on par with £10m so why should they get him for nothing when we offered him £50k + a week to stay with us which lets face it is stupid money for any footballer let alone a 19 year old who hadnt proved it on the big stage and was never out of the treatment room but we saw the potential there to offer him that.

sturridge is trouble anyway and saw his backside in the charity sheild when he was left out of the squad and had to be spoken to because of his attitude but dont forget the facts also that chelsea have bullied clubs for years now into selling there players and its not just about sturridge this either its about getting equal for the way they went about and also tapped SWP up and bullied us into selling him which our club hasnt forgot or forgave and thats why we are going head to head with them over sturridge.

i can honestly see the hate from everton to city and fully understand this but dont forget the fact what chelsea have done to other clubs over the years lads

They only bought him because of the new 6+5 rule, I think he'll be another Carlton Cole

i think carlton cole is looking a pretty good player these days to be fair mate.

regarding sturridgedont get me wrong he looks as though he could become a very good player but at the moment he thinks he's better than everyone else(well he did at city) and now hes at chelsea he is still down the pecking order and will find it harder to get games than he would have done if he would have stayed with city.

Thats not really true is it, at Chelsea he has Drogba and Anelka ahead of him and nobody else really. The same can not be said about City 12 Strikers.

he has kalou ahead of him and even malouda,regarding our 12 strikers? you mean RSC,adebayor,bellamy and tevez?

you cant count robinho because he playes wide left and benjani wont get a look in because hes going out on loan.

...to us?

 

[Neiler]

10 mill surely that will cover the wage bill for a week!

* Waits for implosian.

 

[Cahill's Metatarsal]

Can't blame them for trying, clubs have using the tribunal as a way of getting cheap players for years, they've never given the clubs who lose the players a fair amount, I remember Charlton being absolutely fuming at the amount they got when Jermain Defoe jibbed them for West Ham. Seems they've got a good case if that's what he's earning at Chelsea

 

[Robert Jarvis]

I think City have jumped in on the wake of the transfer ban for poaching young players.

Also though the reason Dunne was sold was because Cuty needed the money per reports. Is the oil well running low!

 

[bluemooner_mcfc]

...to us?

christ no i wouldnt wish that on anyone lol
