saw a vid the other day of larin doing training in Canada to try and retain some sharpness while he is off.

I think it won't take him long compared to last time to start games 

Fairly standard these days that players maintain fitness throughout summer. Back in the day it was properly on the beach, players turning up for pre season overweight and unfit. Year round fitness is monitored much more now.

Yep back in the 80s they’d often come back a stone overweight and preseason would be getting the weight off. Now they have summer training plans which are tapered to keep fitness levels but also support recovery. That, however, is very different to the intensity of preseason which is designed to build levels and sharpness back up again and why it’s so important players get a decent preseason or else they’re playing catch up. Makes MLGs laughable comment about being at the World Cup effectively being a preseason show his lack of understanding of real life away from computer games

He’s having a medical at Blackburn. 
hope they are more diligent than our med staff. 
Or not,depending on your view. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He is not. Blackburn fans pretending to be journalists on X

Interesting if true. Would be one of their best players (for the third of the season he plays). Sounds like his agent has potentially dropped one here though as doubt he'll get anywhere near his salary with them than here.

The overall contract might be better at Blackburn, though

I could think of no reason why any player would join Blackburn at the moment over Southampton. Would be a genuinely astonishing move which is why I think it is bollocks.

There is no Blackburn link. It was a Blackburn fan on X changing his username to a journalist and pretending there was a link.

Because he prefers the North?

Then you'd go to any number of other northern clubs with better prospects.

You're probably right, but seems a bit random for a Blackburn fan to be touting Stewart. No smoke without fire and all that.

They'd have to want to sign you.

I have absolutely no idea if the Blackburn rumour is true, but I doubt he has too many options (due to his injuries and salary expectations) so maybe they are the best 'northern' option avaialble to him, if thats what he's looking for.

I never went that level, but I did used to post the odd thing on a football rumours website (purely because it was funny) and for a while within a day or two those “rumours” would surface on either 606 or this forum. 

😂

I was going to say he's never heard about the legend of Jan Koller!

Probably? No, a Blackburn fan changed his X name to the name of a national journalist and posted it. It is nonsense. No probably about it. 

[revolution saint]

Good signing for Blackburn, shame we missed out on him.

[Sparkkyy]

Wish we were Blackburn

[tttdcs]

Well done Blackburn, smart signing

Do you ever think, 'but why.would someone do such a random thing'?  Probably not. 🙄

[hypochondriac]

Mods can you put signed for Blackburn in the title?

Because they think it is funny to change their X identity to pose as a journalist and trick people.

Seems to quite like changing his identity...

Blackburn have signed an ex Saint.
