I havent been on the site since getting home at 3am on Thursday morning, partly due to being totally pissed off at the performance.
Sorloth was absolute rubbish the other night, but he wasnt the only one. I thought Schlupp was on a par with him as being crap and Ayew not far behind.
Sorloth isnt fit to wear the shirt and shouldnt even be at the club. I am totally bewildered as to how we bought him and for how much. Who is to blame??? Its bordering on being a sackable offence.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

He also spent a fair chunk of money on Afobe and Ibe who were both flops.

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

He sold Afobe back to Wolves at a loss of £2m, not bad business getting a flop of the books. Who is going to pay £7m for Sorloth.
Ibe is a winger, so not comparable.

In these days of gargantuan transfer fees, to get a striker for £9 Mill and expect him to slot seamlessly and make an immediate impact in the PL is asking a lot.Wilson was signed when Bournemouth were in the Championship and King was hardly prolific in his first season.They have proved brilliant signings by Howe.

I accept both of these are way above Sorloth at the present time.Maybe in time we will all look back and think that at £9 Mill Sorloth has proved a great buy !

I assume you have been a long term supporter, so will have seen a fair few of our forwards over the years.
Do you really think Sorloth has anything about his game that suggests he will be a good buy, let alone great.

Me too. He is big and strong and when in possession doesn't give the ball away easily. It could be that what we are seeing is the best he has to give, but on the other hand .... it may be forgotten that Glenn Murray didn't have a great first season with us and spent quite a bit of time on the subs bench.
