Alexander Sørloth

Is our chief scout a gooner?

 

[nedley]

And from the inside, via the documentary - that’s confirmed. Levy and Hitchin bumbling around like the Chuckle Brothers behind the scenes

I agree. If I was Jose having Levy millin around the bloody cafeteria thst would do my bloody head in.

Really? I mean he couldn't make it at Palace, Crystal fucking Palace ...

Fuck off Spurs.

 

[Tucker]

Well, this is a sobering end to a shitty day.

 

[dellybelly]

He is shite

You could say that about most of our starting 11 today.

 

[Mphw]

Salah wasn’t good enough for Chelsea

See your point but Chelsea had a few options better than him at the time. They are better than palace.

I doubt it, but he's the cheap option. We've been here before, many a time.

 

[paulcumpstone]

who?

 

[King of Otters]

Looked shite at Palace, but hey, he’s 6ft+ and that’s most the important thing.

Keep signing mid-table players and eventually you become a mid-table team.

 

[Gareth88]

who?

The Norwegian Nicholas Bendtner

I think Daniel is Diversifying into 'Data Analytics' to generate extra income by swotting up all info on strikers then selling that analysed info on

 

[felmani26]

I look forward to credible links to Akinfenwa shortly...

There is literally one link to him and probably he isn't even in top5 our options

 

[Wsussexspur]

Oh Jesus, I can’t wait for this window to end ? that must be the 100th striker we’ve been linked with this window ?

Just shows we have no coherent strategy when it comes to signing players!

Finally a striker we´re linked to that I know.

To judge Alex Sørloth as a player after his spell at a deeply dysfunctional Palace where Benteke(!) was the expensive "superstar" and where a young kid that came for peanuts from the Danish league to challenge was never given a proper chance ... well, it´s simply ignorant and bordering on outright arrogant.

This is why I mostly read and not comment in the threads for players like Daka, Vinicius, Diallo, etc.: I don´t know much about them, have hardly seen them play. And I don´t know the leagues intimately (anymore - I used to follow most leagues across Europe rigorously). So this thread is an extreme eye opener to me on how little the average SC user actually knows about football outside Spurs and the PL. Because these comments in here are obviously made by people who knows bugger all. And that makes me think that this would then also be the case in the other threads as well.

Compared to the quality of leagues, the stats over time, I would say that Sørloth is on the same level as Daka, Diallo and Vinicius. Maybe over, maybe under - but comparable and to some extent similar, or in that area. The thing that really is "strange", is that all these strikers and forwards are so totally different in what they bring! Some rely only on speed, some are more link up players, others again a fox in the box. As several have commented: is there really a plan? Other than bring in a body?

I didn't say we'd signed him, I (implicitly) said if we did it would be another signing not at the quality retired for a serious top 4/6 team, which I think a lot of posters would probably agree with.

Same energy on & off the pitch, depressing ain't it.

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

LOL !!!!!!!!!! That’s all bye ??

Well said.

Davies, Dier, PEH, Winks, Sissoko, Lucas, Alli all bang avarage and regular starters so guess we're almost there now..

If we hadn't lucked out with Kane I wonder where we'd be now. ?
