Yeah, why would anyone come to a club in one of the best leagues in the world, who have spent long periods in the Premier League and who pay players decent money?

Nobody hates him - we get this every time. It's a forum and people are entitled to express their opinions - doesn't mean there's hate involved.

Up to him to ram the words down our throats then. Let's see what he's made of.

Presumably this guy is his agent. Interestingly he never once mentions Ross Stewart the player Larin will be competing with for the centre forward spot. He more or less says Larin will only perform if he is the big dog, the first choice in his position. Well, he's likely in for a shock on that score because Stewart has the shirt and, if he stays fit, plays well and bags a few goals then Larin will mainly be used as a substitute - sounds like he's gonna sulk and chuck his toys out the pram if not first choice according to this guy. Still feel this is going to prove a poor bit of business but we'll see.

That is quite staggering and our latest forward is unlikely to improve the stats.

Good luck and I'll be delighted if you prove me wrong.

Disappointed but not surprised.

I'm judging him on what fans at clubs he's played for think of him. Say what you like and call fans fickle but generally I find most are usually on the money when judging players. Maybe this guy proves the exception to the rule but I'd be very surprised. He's a cheap option and we could and should be doing better.

My opinion of this guy as a centre forward has nothing to do with him being Canadian.

Of fuck. Another donkey for the sanctuary. SR never learn.

Sums up this charlatan then. Weak man who can only say what he thinks people listening to him want to hear because he wants them to like him.

He's more of an idiot than I thought.

When you put it like that I can't see what the majority of us are worried about. Do you work for SR by any chance?

Yeah because we've got money to burn 🙂

How do you know this? Probably what his agent would have you believe.

They don't but are incompetent.

Are you sure? Ankersen must be the one loading in the data now - oops, forgot the old mantra, shit in...shit out.

Not a ringing endorsement but hardly surprising.

So let's bring in a decent big man rather than Larin whose only real attraction seems to be that he's available. It's really lazy work by those at the football club.

Let's hope he fails his medical although it's a low bar at our club so he'd probably have to have a quadruple ACL plus a ruptured achilles heel.

Us armchair experts are joined by many more armchair experts from his previous clubs who've seen him play regularly and there seems to be a common opinion of this guy. Unless you can point us to a pile of glowing references for him. I'll not hold my breath. Anyway, with Downs out on loan, AA likely to leave and possibly Archer too plus the fact that Stewart could trip over a stray blade of grass at any second it seems to me we should be bringing in at least another two alongside this chump. As long as he's about 5th choice it'll be ok 🙂

It's what's, commonly known as a race to a park bench which is something SR seem particularly good at.

If this doesn't ring alarm bells for those thinking this bloke will do a job for us nothing will.

Here's another one thinks there's absolutely not a single centre forward available within our budget who we could get excited about. Pay me what Spors is getting and I'll give you a bucket load of alternatives - it's his job not mine.

Oh, the old 'there's nobody else available' argument.
