Didnt find a thread for this fella so I did it. He is 6`5", 220lbs, roughly 30 years old, scores tons of goals if given service and his heading has shades of Luca Toni. For a big guy he is quite fast, has a decent technique and as a Nordic person, has a great attitude and a work-ethic. The problem? He plays for Cholo. If he was playing for a attack-minded coach&team, his numbers would be sky-high. The solution? We should buy him! All this talk about your Kanes and Haalands, Sorloth is just as capable. Next summer we should ship the Polish dinosaur and get this Aryan viking instead. Who`s with me?

Well pardon me, for a huge guy he has a GREAT technique.
He has the potential to give you one big season. But I don't think you should sign him outright and expect 2-3 season consistent outcome.
One of those you try and loan for sure, if he is out of favour and Atleti need to wage dump next summer.
Don't see that happening though.

Scored goals at a better rate than Lewa from open play in La Liga since both been in league.
For far poorer teams and much less of a cost.
Then again Auba and LDJ had better rate from open play than Lewa in league and Ferran has the past season and bit since played CF regularly.
Paid 150m odd for Lewa over his contract and get nothing at end of it.
Must be close to 200m+ spent on players in mid 30s who get nothing for and then lack depth.
Top stuff.

Think they needed to sign a big name and we couldn't cover the big transfer and noone else was available. Or interested in that gloomy time.
While Lewa's goal return has been ok, it's the glaring poor team play (no assists) and lack of press that's problematic.
And now counting in the amortization with the wages factored in and no chance of re-sale, the transfer does seem a poor one.
In hindsight, we could have signed someone else on a cheap with similar return.

Dogshit footballer who has these games (mostly v shit opponents) where he scores a shitload of lucky goals and earns a living off those games
Weak technique, low iq, not exceptionally fast and a pure poacher who's incapable of creating for his teammates or doing something more than shoot the ball or pass it to guy 2 meters in front
Alvarez at least 10 times the footballer. Neither should be our striker signing but god if Sorloth is signed for long term it's almost equal to giving up on next few seasons

Not that Barca will sign him but he has 6 goals v Barca and 6 goals v Real.
So to make out he only scores v the shite is wrong.
Two of the top three teams he has goals against are the best two teams in the league.
He has 9 goals/assists in 11 games v Barca.

I don't like Sorloth but he isn't a low iq player, and for a big guy like him his technique and agility are both great.
Alvarez is better indeed, Alex could be decent option from the bench if he was cheap, which isn't going to be the case
