You really have to know how the system works over here to judge. Football clubs, player's wages and details of deals are public record which can be accessed online. We have an open information environment in Scandinavia, which is how Sorloth's deal plus add-ons has become public knowledge. He cost £300,000 7 months ago and could cost us £16.5m if add-ons are triggered. Add-ons such as playing 50 games and us staying up for 2 seasons. Rakip, for example, was registered on 19th January by Benfica when they submitted his registration to the Swedish FA and then loaned to us 3 days later with a £10m option to buy in the summer. Fact.

i cant see how he'll be good enough the PL frankly. Indeed - you've never seen him play. If Palace are so crap, being run by crap and playing crap as you keep posting then just give up. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him play a few times. Even then he'll either work out - or not. If not then he goes back to Benfica with no great loss to us. If he works out - great! It's a win/win for us either way - especially with our current injury list.

You do know you are not supposed to come on here with facts don't you? It stifles all the wild speculation and ill-informed opinion that is the manna of football forums.

so expat...we let rakip go to Benfica on a free (ie we didn't offer him sufficient wages to entice him HERE on a free) and then we loaned him in with an option for 10m? Can somebody explain the logic of this to me please? Edited by Ginger Pubic Wig (08 Feb 2018 9.17pm)

His hobby isn't football. His hobby is trolling Internet fora with whiny negative s***e. Lol, are you using 'fora' as some pretensious faux latin plural for forums? Kudos if so. I may be a miserable c*nt right now, swings and round abouts and all that. However i do find the militant 'everything must be spun as positive or you're a terrible fan' brigade deeply tedious. Remind me of Boxer in George Orwellian's Animal Farm, "steve parish is always right, and i will work harder!"

If he was all that then Benfica wouldn't have loaned him out. Not good enough for the Portugese league, i cant see how he'll be good enough the PL frankly. Wasn’t Bolasie once deemed not good enough by Bristol City? I suppose instances like that don’t fit your agenda though do they?
