Sorloth

[Jacey]

The one that got away!!

6 years after leaving Crystal Palace, £9m flop is better than Strand Larsen

It's not often that Crystal Palace have had a major transfer regret, but selling a £9m striker six years ago has proved to be a blunder.

Old news. He was dog shite when he played for us. It happens. I bet Birmingham had similar feeling when they let Andy Johnson come to us.

 

[syd snot]

He was hopeless when with us, it happens.
We let Semenyo and Madueke go and of course a young Ian Wright from under age groups.
For every Sorloth there's an Eze eh?

Madueke was tapped up.

You can also include Ashley Cole in the coulda woulda shoulda discussion.

But 98% of young fellas we let go are not worthy of the shirt.

Footballers can be mediocre for ages before they suddenly bloom. Its not always like Messi - brilliant from age 10 and never have a bad month.


Theirry Henry was once a cast off....thrown in cheaply into a deal to make up the numbers- given cheap to arsenal. And we all know what happened next

Some fool at arsenal fired a young Eze.

He wasn't dogshit. He wasn't given a chance.

Unlike Kamada, given umpteen chances but still defended by some.

What?

Cole was an Arsenal player on loan, destined for the top.

Madueke was tapped up.

Surely you're not saying tapping up happens in our ultra professional game are you Sir?

He was given plenty of opportunities. 16 appearances spanning two years.

He was rubbish for us, I understand there were other issues though.

Re Arsenal - Not to mention a young Kane.

Wouldn't exactly call Henry a cast off, he was in the 98 world cup squad, he fell out with the director at juve after refusing to go out on loan.

Sorloth has just put Athletico Madrid two nil up against Barcelona in the Champions League.
Not too many watching him at Palace would have seen that coming.

And how many of those were starts vs 8 minutes at the end of the odd game.
I agree, he wasn't given enough of an opportunity. And we clearly got it wrong.

Not only us Athletico paid 32 million euros for him and he's playing for a top coach in Simeone.

 

[MrRobbo]

He played 360 mins in 17/18 (across 4 games Everton, Suprs, Utd Chelsea)

And 173 in 18/19 (across 12 games)

So didnt get a huge amount of game time.

Keshi Anderson scored for Pompey the other day….,.the one that got away🤣🤣

 

[Frickin Saweet]

one of Hodgson's major flaws. Can't spot or polish a rough diamond

 

[park the bus]

The Copa del Rey final went to penalties and Sorloth failed to convert, Real Sociedad going on to win.

Brandon Pierrick scores for fun for AFC Croydon. Another one that got away.
