I'm basing my decision on what our squad needs though. Sturridge is a quality finisher, has great feet and would also give us another option up front if Luis was to get injured or suspended.



Also, I think Sturridge would fit our style of play better. Walcott can be erratic in possession and quite often picks the wrong pass.



Basically I look at it like this:



If you took the pace out of Walcott how good would he be? What other attributes does he have that makes him a top player?



Do the same with Sturridge and you'll find that he has much more to his game than just pace. He has flair, great technique, awareness and balance. His confidence is also another important facet of his game.



The way I see it is we already have an extremely quick winger in Raheem, and Sterling is much more intelligent on the ball than Theo, despite being a few years younger.
