So is Alexander Sörloth ineligible to play for the rest of this season?
If not then surly with 21 goals and 9 assists in his loan spell at Trabzonspor, he would be worth a run out for the last view games of the season.

He is loaned out until the end of next season

I was wondering if the only way to get him back would be for Sorloth to terminate the loan? It sounds like we can't and they won't.
I guess Sorloth would want to come back if he was offered Premier League football. Unless he's happy enough? I have no idea really, just guessing.

I doubt he would come back, Trabzonspor can buy him for £5.5M and sell him for 5+ times that to the various clubs watching him so he'll either get a big deal where he is at or go on a big money move. There is another Sorloth thread so I expect this to be closed.

Embarrassed by the whole saga hope he never plays in the Premiership and rubs our nose in it, but good luck somewhere else lad

Knowing our lot we’ll probably offer the Turks £7m/£8m to send him back.

I still find it odd that there appears to be literally no clauses whereby he can return. For example if he was injured. Most loans are ended in the event of long term injury (happened with us a few times.)
Still think this was actually a player sale dressed up as a loan to fit the Turks financial position. Assuming it is time to move on.

God love the club that pays £27.5 million for that stocking of piss.

Another piece of top drawer business from our back office
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

That’s exactly what is was. Sorloth is no longer a Palace player so this thread should be closed.

Also Trabzonspor have been banned from European football for a year for breaking FFP so they may not be in a position to sign outright. Hopefully we can sell to someone else and get our money back at least.

I read an interview with him where he was asked if was the ‘end of a chapter ‘ for him at Palace and he replied that he thought it was.
Hodgson also stated recently there was no possibility of bringing him back as it was a 2 year loan.
I think this ship has sailed.

There were probably only one or two people left who were willing to give him a chance by the time he left. Ray Lewington could be heard in games telling him how to play football and there were few if any signs he could make it in the PL aside from his height and strength. From many of the goals I've seen on YouTube he is up against vastly inferior defences who give him acres of space to operate, but in fairness he's taken his chances. I find the notion that he is now all of a sudden a 20m+ striker somewhat ludicrous, but then that is the world we live in, and we did pay 9m for him after a good season in Denmark.
In hindsight we shouldn't have included the transfer option or made the loan deal for 2 years, but then a year ago most fans were ready to give him away for free and the idea of getting 5m would have been well received. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but I am curious to see whether he proves most of us wrong and turns out to be a top striker. If he does then maybe some people owe Roy an apology as it seemed he had a hand in the deal.

Bottom line is naive and incompetent deal

Like Meyer and Reidewald he was never given much chance with us. His one 'goal' away to Chelsea was disallowed for no good reason.
The whole situation begs these questions:
1. Why did we sign him ?
2. If we loan him out and give that club the opportunity to buy him at less than we paid - was that sensible ?
3. Why is the loan period so extended?
4. It's by no means certain but IF another club comes in for him what is our price? Do we get just our stated price and do the Turks take anything above that?
5. Is there some method in the board's madness ?

Freeman, as DOF, should answer all these questions as it falls within his area of responsibility and Parish should explain why he signed them off!

I thought he was decent but like Benteke we don't seem to create much for our out and our strikers.
We wrote off Murray. I think the club needs to show patience when signing players and managers from abroad and understand that a failure is as much our fault.
