So, Chelsea have to pay City £3.5 million for Sturridge, potentially rising to £7 million (£500,000 for each 10, 20, 30 and 40 appearances as well as £1m if he plays for England)

Do you think he's worth it so far Norf? He hasn't had that much game time, not sure if that's down to injury or whatever.

Good article on him here. Lot's of potential, but yet to deliver.

I think it's a great deal. £3m now for a young English support striker, and a maximum of £6.5m for a full England intl with 40 caps! There have been rumours about his attitude, but I'd say JT and Lampard will keep him right. He has it it bad with injuries so far, niggle after niggle.

Anyhow you told me he was a 'great' player a few weeks back.

Yeah, he is great, if he would only deliver on his potential! That's what frustrated me when he was at City. Showed great promise in youth teams (losing a final and winning a final) then couldn't deliver it in the senior team. Maybe there was too much pressure on him. But, the potential is there, and will be a great deal if he delivers. Thought he would have been better going to a lesser team first though. Can agree with him leaving City, as would have been hard to play for City given all the signings they made, and was suprised to see him go to Chelsea, when he put himself in a worse position. Time will tell though.

Sunderland were poor, but in all my time watching Chelsea I struggle to remember a better performance. Chelsea were just immense, all over the field. Tackling, passing, dribling, shooting everything.

Each of the goals had a certain quality about them, but Terry's pass, Ashley Cole's control, turn and shot was a masterclass.

Anelka's performance and work rate was superb. Deserved a hat trick, and Chelsea spent the last 20 minutes trying to tee him up.

Hopefully the start of a wee run...

So much for missing the African players. Should be good viewing on MOTD tonight.
