Mark Hughes Tells Daniel Sturridge What's What

Rumour has it Mark Hughes has called a halt to contract negotiations between Manchester City and Sturridge's representatives.

It was widely reported that Daniel Sturridge believes he deserves more than what City are willing to offer. Negotiations have stalled, with Hughes showing that he will not tolerate such demands.

Sturridge has made 21 appearances for City but has scored five goals, many a City fan have been waiting patiently for Sturridge to show the star qualities he clearly showed he was capable of at the Manchester City academy.

Hughes has given Sturridge plenty of opportunities to shine whether it be from the bench or not, but has struggled to impress 60 percent of the time.

Undoubtedly, Daniel Sturridge has everything needed to become a Premier League star but past media attention seems to have gone to his head, not to mention seeing Robinho arrive on a massive wage.

Has Sturridge provided for City at Robinho's level?, I think not, considering Robinho is in the top 5 Premier League goal-scorers this season and not even punching above his weight.

Chelsea, Aston Villa and Blackburn are all currently in the hunt for Manchester City striker Daniel Sturridge, whether or not they can offer Sturridge the wage he demands remains to be seen.

What we have learned from this is that, Daniel Sturridge is a mercenary with pound signs for pupils and after the work our City academy has put in, this is a slap in the face for Manchester City FC and our fans.

I was once happy to say I was a huge fan of Daniel Sturridge, I waited so long for him to shine and prove to the rest of England that he was capable of being the striker England needs. I guess the joke is on us City fans, and Sturridge should be ashamed.

Ship Sturridge out City and make an example of him, please.
