Tottenham have been linked with Crystal Palace’s Alexander Sorloth, currently on loan with Turkish side Trabzonspor. The Evening Standard reports that the Norwegian is valued at approximately £7million.
From these clips and a cursory glance at the boy’s stats, I’m struggling to see why Palace couldn’t use the 24-year-old? However, Alexander did get 16 Premier League games under Roy Hodgeson, in which he failed to get a goal from any of them. One possible conclusion is that Turkish football is of an abysmally low standard.
In the worst case scenario, Sørloth could be a cheap deadbeat, in the best case scenario, we could be interested in a sleeping beauty player, who woke up not when kissed by a prince, but when landing on Turkish soil.
Again, I put it to you that a club with a billion pound stadium ought not be scrabbling about looking at bargain bucket strikers of this calibre – let alone after the season has already started.
Now lets talk about his crossing or lack of it !!
Why cant you get the ball past the first man or if you do find one of our players.
I used to play left back and he has nothing ,he doesnt even cover the centre backs that well ,honestly he is not good enough to be our second.
Bale and Levy had agreed for him to stay another year.. But Madrid said no chance, it’s now or never… To be fair to Baldy he did his best to keep Bale. And Modric too…. When Madrid or Barca come calling then players usually go…. If Levy had blocked Bale then he wouldn’t have won all he has… Also future signings would be reluctant because noone wants to be a prisoner or held to ransom…. After 20 years in charge, and handling some situations well (like Bale), its strange that the Tintin saga happened. Should have shipped him out earlier for good money.. No good for all parties, the club finance, the player himself, and most importantly upset the dressing room.
Is it true that Spurs spent more( £140m nett ) than any other clubs last season.Was that the start of the stadium revenue paying for transfers.Six of our seven subs not including Hart ( free) cost a combined total off £202m.
I had also said that in an earlier post today,Ronaldo,Bale,Modric and Hazard all went to Madrid for more titles,more money and the pull of playing for one of the biggest teams in the world.
We have had two very good teams in the last ten years. One under Redknapp and the other under Poch. On the two occasions when we had a chance to really push on and win honours, Levy failed to provide the manager with the tools to finish the job. As is well documented, Redknapp got Saha and Nelsen. Poch got two windows without any reinforcements at all. Fergie went three years without winning anything and nearly got sacked but the board backed him, and the rest is history. We now have a manager with a top class record, although the jury is out as to whether he is a busted flush or not, but Covid 19 is Levy’s new excuse for acting like the cheapskate that he is. There is always some excuse for him not to buy the players we need. A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
No not the next five maybe ten.United have had considerable bigger revenue,from sponsorship and attendances,even before they started winning.Leicester is an example of how it can be done against the top sides and against the odds.When Bale left Fergie had already 13 Titles.
Ben Davies bleating in the press that he and the team gave it their all. That is the problem Ben. Your all and many of the others all is no where need the standard this club requires. You were the one also bleating that players need time to develop in the All or Nothing videos. Why when I watch you do you receive the ball, run a few yards forward, then stop and either pass backwards or sideways? Answer, you have no pace or ability to go past players. No amount of time will ever change that. You and a whole bunch of others are just mid table and even Championship bang average.
I agree Tony we can despise this regime but we can’t get rid of them.
True enough Lesley but United hadn’t won a title since the sixties and weren’t financial giants. They just made better decisions than us and were better run after Fergusons first three years which were trophy less. Do you think we are going to win the Premier League title in the next five years?
And they still lost ronaldo when Real knocked!!
This is the future, people!! Get used to it!!!
😅😘🤣
Just the name to energise the side
You are right. Why would we even bother.
Man Utd were the English version of Madrid under Fergie and nobody Knocked them of their perch for quite some time,offering more money and titles galore.They had to pay heavily to secure Berbatov & Carrick.They had the best manager,bought a top player every year and lured the best kids to the academy.If it took Liverpool 30 years to get the title back do you really think Levy could have done it before Bale left.
He may have stayed longer if we showed more ambition and were challenging for titles. Same with Modric, Berbatov, Carrick..
Instead of buying this guy, why don’t we re-locate the team to Turkey? Could win the league every year, qualify for CL. Sounds appealing.
I decided to apply to be head of recruitment at Spurs. I am currently sitting around waiting for them to find me as making the effort to reach out to them would instantly make me over qualified.
Bale didn’t leave because of Levy he left because all the top players in the world want to play for a Real Madrid or a Barcelona. Ronaldo,Bale,Modric,Hazard to name a few and the £600,000per week also helps.
There is just no logic to any of these transfer rumours. Levy is in for Bale on £600k per week and Sorloth, probably on £600k per year. Bale left because Levy is a joke, why would he even contemplate coming back. Signing Sorloth sould tell Bale all he needs to know about what he’d coming back to.
Alexander Sloth…………….lol
No more bargain basement cheap alternatives
