Maybe a deal sheet. We have until 9pm. Keeps up the drama for 2 hours longer than the window even closing.

How has he managed to spell Kyle wrong? That doesn't auger well.

a) it's his parents who would have decided on the spelling

b) it's pronounced "seal"

Did you know, that when he scores his eyes become large?

A truly astonishing transfer window 👏 👏 hats off to all!

Replacing our top scorer with a player who hasn't got a league goal this year is a smart move, some clever outside of the box thinking from SR there. At this point I think we're some form of social experiment/trolling exercise.

Not holding anything against him, hope he does well and scores some goals. But we needed more than him, certainly as we've lost Fraser, Downs and Armstrong from our attack in the window.

It’s Anderson’s law. If he’s broken break him more 

[SNSUN]

AA has apparently passed his medical at Wolves so I'm assuming we're just waiting on the Media teams to sort their shit out. Are we going to have a video game announcement for CL or are we done with that now?

 We won't notice Fraser and Downs are gone. Armstrong is a different matter. 

As we had a suitor for Archer, which it sounds like we did, I'd of let him go and kept AA.

I feel like our season is going to be very reliant on Stewart staying fit. Nice one SR

Well let's hope he has a Killer instinct in the box.

Seems like (by Twitter comments) that the Canuck is joining us because he’s been told he’ll get plenty of game time. Which is probably true once the LND again does himself a mischief.

10/10 window again for Sport Republic. Spors proving that you don’t need to be new to still be shit.

At 30 years old he’s no pup. I’m sure the deal was seal-ed with a kiss (from a rose). Hopefully he’s at the right Club

He should fit right in. Stroppy and not a great goal scorer. Fits our play book perfectly. I’m just happy, if you look at him you can see those hungry eyes

But eyes lie...

[SNSUN]

20 minutes left of the deal sheet window and no confirmed sale of AA or incoming of Larin. Not to say both deals aren't done, but I'd like us to announce them one way or another so I can actually do some work instead of Googling other fans' Forums to see if their windows have been worse than ours. 

[The Kraken]

The best we can hope for (by far) at this stage is that the Armstrong deal falls through and so does Downs Mk II.

[CB Fry]

I will be calling him Canuck Saganowski until further notice.

[Micky]

We are ready to return to the Premiere League apparently..!

Meh. We're just keeping his bank account warm before his big money move to Leicester.

[hypochondriac]

Now official. Insane signing.

In his interview he was asked if he had any siblings. Apparently he has a solitary brother.

Crazy.

Thoroughly enjoying the fact that only about 2 people can pluck up any positivity about this one. 
 

Normally it does take a few weeks before all our hope is extinguished. Here it’s just taken a few YouTube clips.

That's just silly! I'll be giving him at least 25 minutes on the pitch before my 👎!

[IronCitySaint]

This certainly is a stroke of genius from those clever spods at Sport Republic. We have needed a new striker since Ings left and have watched the masterful selling of strikers each year without bringing in anyone who can kick a football as replacements. Therefore, it is quite obvious that the plan this window should have been to sell our top scorer and replace him with a traffic cone. At least he should be better than Downs. We had all better hope that RS can play the rest of the season. Great plan by Sport Republic to rely completely on a player that has hardly played for years and another that has hardly scored for years. They really are far more clever than anyone else.

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.

[LuckyNumber7]

Welcome and good luck Cyle. Hopefully he rams some of the nonsense back down people's throats and secures his place in the world cup. If not it's only a loan.

Wouldn’t worry about that, Stewart will be injured soon anyway

Nah, he'll be alright. Stewart will brake down soon enough, and he will be the only dog...

[obelisk]

I'll go out on a limb and welcome the chap to Saints. It would be nice if he could be allowed at least a few minutes on the pitch before getting the hate treatment.

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.

[Gloucester Saint]

Hopefully he’ll become my third favourite Canadian after Terrence and Philip

Legend if he scores and farts in celebration like T&P at the opposition fans.

This topic of this second song is better suited to Pompey though

Decent window - 9/10 from me 

We usually buy loads of shit players in January and this time we have loaned just one so feels like progress

Welcome onboard Cyle 😊 looking forward to seeing him play.

He's not played many games either this season so expect a hamstring pull up during Watford if he starts. 

[Andy Hill]

You never know - he could be the signing of the season…….but then again……….

[MarkSFC]

Lets all pray that this IS his level. Can't be worse than DD or BBD or CA.....can he?🤷‍♂️😁

[Baz Fl]

He played his best football for Arian Heath at Orlando City in a 4-2-3-1 set up and that version of Larin was good. MLS is not as bad as some make it out to be but time has passed and his recent history isn’t great. Arma wanted to leave and to be honest most of the players that have let us down for several seasons can’t go soon enough for me. Time for a total rebuild and culture change! 

[HKsaint]

He is another Down from North America. 

[Vancouver Saint]

Let's give him a chance for goodness sake. He had a good spell in the Canadian national team a while back...he has a physical presence and fits that 'big striker target' description which is clearly the new strategy (that being going forward and putting crosses into the box to someone tall enough to head it.

[Hopper]

Go on then I'll throw a sliver of positivity in here. From his clips his hold up play looks pretty decent. Jury is out on everything else, as long as he works hard he's already ahead of Downs.

But we are clearing low bars.

[IOWSaintDaz]

[sledger]

why are we worried about armstrong leaving hes hasnt shown up for an age,strange he wasnt involved at stoke and we looked ok.Maybe he was disruptive behind the scenes,anyway thank you and goodbye

[Saint Fan CaM]

Welcome to Saints with a heavy dose of scepticism thrown in - not your fault - it’s SR’s seeming wish to completely destroy this club in a slow and painful downward spiral. You’re just trying to do a job and find a home for a short period. As Saints fans well give you the benefit of the doubt all the while you bust a gut on matchday. Stroll around and expect abuse. A goal or two early doors will be most welcome and somewhat unexpected.
