Sturridge isn't exactly the goal machine that Chelsea will need if Torres gets injured!!

As an Everton fan this is the first time that i enjoyed a transfer window in a long long time. Long may it continue

Sturridge scored 8 goals in 12 games at Bolton.

He's never really been given a chance at Chelsea. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that he'd have scored far more than Torres did had Torres been dropped when he wasn't performing.

I like Sturridge. I think he can be a very good, possibly a great PL striker. So I don't want him going to Liverpool. I think him going to Liverpool would help them significantly, so I'd be pretty peed off if our club management let him go there. But if he did go there, then it would have to be for a Carroll-esque stupid OTT fee. But a loan deal is simply ridiculous from my POV.

I wouldn't feel any animosity towards Sturridge for leaving us - even to Liverpool. I don't think the club have treated him properly, I think the supporters have offered him very little support while bending over backwards to support Torres. If he goes to Liverpool almost all my anger will be at the CFC management. The Benayoun loan to Arsenal was ridiculous, Sturridge to Liverpool will be many times worse. You just shouldn't loan a player to a potential rival.

Whilst he may have lost some of his pace and he isn't quite the player he was a few years ago, Maicon to City for €4M is a cracking signing.

If you believe the Italian press, Maicon is finished as a top class player.....Will probably cruise through a year at City, picking up big cash while hardly playing - Good work if you can get it.

Bloody Scousers. You've got to laugh at the Sky Sports News presenters today. Most of the fans have been really well behaved. Stoke's fans have been great, making noise when prompted to, but being respectful and quiet when the guy is reporting. But not the Scousers, as soon as the presenter goes live they are pushing him into the camera and squeeling down the camera. So lacking in class.

Time will tell, but IMO its a great signing.

Don't think he will play that much.....Though, I bet Gareth Bale is licking his lips in the hope he comes up against him again....

Even if I were a scouser, I'd be cringing at that mob of feral individuals. No such scenes on show at Everton today I note.
