[Palace] Alexander Sorloth leaves crystal palace for KAA Gent loan deal

[chaileyjem]

As amusing as it is laughing at Palace his record isn't that different to Locadia's plus he's younger and cost less.

Yes, I know Big Jurg has been doing the business the last few weeks, but still. Perhaps next season Sorloth will come good for those up the road.

What is no different is the (until a few weeks back) fan view...

"it wouldn’t be a surprise if Jürgen Locadia left in January."

FFS! When they spend big though, they’re mugged off for £32m for Benteke too! It’s not easy signing strikers you know! What would your advice to Parish be?

Hire Paul Winstanley.

 

[portslade seagull]

It was mentioned in the "local" press that Palace had been totally mugged off when they signed him. Not very good and worth about 1/10th of what they paid.

Goon squad wouldn't have it.

Plus ca change.

What did they say about Benteke. Talent spotters mugged again and big wages to boot

[MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] - Sorloth has a funny 'o' in his name! Have we got one of those? We should pick him up!

I think she did the pre season review as well, which also contained some suspect comments

I was thinking that, but then realised I have no idea how much Sorloth played for Palace. I know until recently my view on Locadia was that he hadn't really been given a chance for us (despite scoring in his first two appearances), that he needed a run of games to develop understandings, get some form, get used to the pace/physicality/nuances the premier league football, and that if he moved on and got that elsewhere he may well show us something.

Has Sorloth had that opportunity to get used to premier league football and still failed to show anything? Or is he the sort of player that given a proper chance could have actually done something?

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Shame. He was doing a cracking job.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

I’m surprised with his scoring record he got a move to a bigger club.

 

[dadams2k11]

He is still one for the future according to some of them up the road.

If you want to have a laugh today or cheer your self up then take a look at their transfer forum.

Started reading the Sorloth thread and nearly fell asleep. They really are a bunch of dullards.

I imagine that failing to show anything against Grimsby made their minds up.

 

[Yes Chef]

I don't want to interrupt the Palace baiting, but FC Midtjylland are Danish, not Norwegian, owned by TB's old nemesis Matthew Benham. Sloppy BBC journalism.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Although on brief viewing of their forum it seems that they think all the players were terrible in that game. Plus Wickham was actually worse then Sorloth when he came on. Happy days!

 

[Stat Brother]

If that were the case why are the other 10 players still at the club?

We appear to be in a pond with no fish.




Just the way we like it.

I know fans can be fickle but they are on another level on that board.

I would say Bipolar but that's unfair on people with Bipolar.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Blimey! I've just spent 20 mins browsing Palace's transfer thread.
If I was a Palace fan I'd be seriously depressed.
As a club (rather than the starting XI) they are on the edge.

They are driving downhill fast with dodgy breaks but only have very limited funds to replace them.

 

[Simster]

KAA Gent, you say?

Probably the first time since before Wilfred Zaha came back with his tail between his legs that a Palace forward has gone on to a bigger club.

Which translates to farewell Sorloth.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Sørloth came on against us, didn't he?

In the few times I've seen him play, I recall thinking he was one of the worst footballers I've ever seen in the Premier League. I imagine the notion of signing him would insult a fair few Championship sides too. He is utterly DISMAL.

I had assumed Palace picked him up on a free, or for some sort of bargain price from the Danish League, but learned last week that they shelled out £9 million for him. This is amazing and also hilarious.

Total and utter carthorse in the Billy Paynter mould. What possessed their scouts to recommend him?
