Looking at the RB Leipzig forum their fans seem amazed that their club paid 20m for him. Talk of him having no positional sense and looking lethargic. It all sounds very familiar. Apparently he was criticised by their youth team coach after only a week at the club too! The Norway situation is bizarre too for such an inexperienced player to come out like that. He's not had much time at Leipzig to be fair, but it is starting to suggest that possibly the Turkey adventure was misleading and that perhaps he is as bad as many of us thought, and possibly a bit of a d!ck to boot. Luckily we got our money back for him, before the Germans found out, what we all knew!

We all saw with our own eyes that he wasnt good enough for the top 4 European leagues, he even proved how bad he was when on loan in Belgium where he was also well below average. Edited by RyWa (29 Oct 2020 12.32pm) Which means we will buy him back to replace Wickham for about £18m payable over 6 months
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Early days, but 8 games in. No goals and no assists. What’s a reasonable time before we can tell if this was a Palace masterclass or a gem that was never given a chance. Are Leipzig playing to his strengths?

Hauled off at half time yesterday. Looks like the manager never wanted the stocking of piss in the first place. Edited by EddieMac (22 Nov 2020 10.16pm)

Why can’t we just all be happy that we got our money back and a bit extra and draw a line under this sorry affair. He is clearly a decent player, just not at the top level of the game. We knew that, our management knew that and so it appears does his new manager. I think we can but there were quite a few people on here having a go at the management for letting him go.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Think we paid nearer £12m and probably have received c£8m back so far

Don’t care what he did in Turkey, he could make kebabs for all I care. He was literally one of the worst bits of sh&t we have ever played up front, and that’s saying something. It wasn’t just the lack of talent, I can forgive that if the effort is there (Like Wilbraham) but there was no effort at all, no sense of awareness, he just jogged around like a one paced donkey. I don’t wish him anything bad etc, I’m just grateful we will never see him play for us again Not your cup of tea then tom Edited by cryrst (24 Nov 2020 7.31pm)

The interest in how sorloth gets on post-cpfc comes about because, when he was a Palace player, there was such a debate about whether he was as awful as he looked, or actually a casualty of inappropriate coaching and tactics. Personally I don't think any failing player is bound to be exclusively one of those two things, but following the players fortunes elsewhere is the best way to put thier time at Selhurst in context. Sitting here watching sorloth playing in the champions league for one of the top sides in Germany I have to say that the jury is no closer to returning a verdict.
