Loads of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to rumours that the south London club want striker Alexander Sorloth back.
The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Trabzonspor, who have the option to buy him outright. But according to Aksam (via Read Crystal Palace), the Eagles have tried to get the Turkish outfit to return the player.
They have failed in their attempts thus far, though, and it is not hard to see why. Scoring 16 goals in 20 league appearances this term, Sorloth has quite clearly become an important asset to Huseyin Cimsir.

The above is a drastic improvement compared to his form at Selhurst Park, with the Norway international failing to score a single league goal under Roy Hodgson. He is, of course, now playing in a division that is not as strong as English football’s top tier, but the whole ordeal has still caused quite a stir.
Take a look at what Palace fans have had to say on the matter below…
If true just highlights how bad our decisions are. Desperate for a striker, loan one out, and when he starts scoring we realise we can't get him back. And worse, we're going to lose money on him. Absolutely clueless

Can’t we just buy out his contract?

We were so desperate for someone to take him that Dougie/Parish included a clause giving them the option to buy. We didn’t protect ourselves in any way, shape, or form. Bad business from our DOF/chairman

He would rather play in Turkey than play under Hodgson. Least he knows he will get a chance
