Originally posted by Henry of Peckham Sorloth didn’t look fit when he was with us and certainly didn’t have the pace JPM has now. It's a shame we'll never know whether he would have achieved his impressive current form if we hadn't parted company? However, best of luck to the lad. One year ago JPM didn't have the pace he has now.

Never rated Roy, nice guy but boring rigid, yes on our day, we had some great wins, but really hated his time with us for example Sorloth and Mayer. Roy was never interested in young players, because he had no time for them, just old experienced Pro's... Plus Roy had hump with Dougie that he didn't buy "seasonal" pros with no real on going sale value. So Roy played Sorloth on the wing!! Sorloth, stood up and said I dont want to play for Roy... why because hes proved it now, he had ambitions and knew he had the ability to be a top player. so well done to him As for Roy, the stale air has left the club.. Phew. love this fresh air. Ps well done Sorloth, another under Roy that got away. O'Brien went to Lyon as he saw no future under Roy. James Mc didnt want to continue under Roy, he declined a year's extra contract.. Jame said soon after PV had replaced Roy.. "im enjoying my football again" (after 4 years under Roy!) Meyers confidence was shot, Benteke's too under Roy. Remember Mateta wanted to leave in January 24 because he had enough under Roy!!!

Originally posted by doombear I await the Roy lovers' riposte with interest. I must admit, I don’t. He had his time, some good, but a lot bad. The new manager is so much better at assessing and utilising the tools at his disposal. I would imagine Sorloth would have ended up a similar type player to the Mateta of the last few months had he had the benefit of Glasner as his manager. Time to move this thread to where it belongs as he ain’t coming back to us.

Originally posted by Badger11 I think Sorloth is the exception to my rule "Palace don't let good players go". Over the years there have been complaints when we have let youngsters or even first team players go (not to a big club for a fee) but rarely have any of them gone onto to better things. I can only really think of Collymore and now Sorloth. And in Sorloth's case it has taken him about 3/4 years to come good. Overall I think our managers and talent scouts tend to get it right.
