Kind of amused to see the some of the same names who thought we should've kept Onuachu because he has a good goal record in Turkey turning their nose up at Larin, who has a good goal record in Turkey and played for a bigger club than Onuachu did over there

This is going to be hilarious. What a club.

I actually think we took a bit of a gamble spending £50 million odd on going up this season . Now that it’s obvious we’re not we need to get some money in . Come feb 2 nd at 7pm our squad is going to be a lot weaker . Yet some fans thought staying down here for another season was going to be good . next season will be even tougher with Wolves, Burnley and 1 off West Ham , Forest or possibly Leeds. Then you’ve got the likes of Birmingham and Wrexham who both will be strong. With Dragan and the clowns I can see us looking down rather than up next season .

From this and later posts, can I be the first to christen him the ‘Canadian Carillo’ ?

isn't a physical presence all he has really? I dont see a guy that makes runs and strikes the ball well.

Our pants are permanently down anyway

Fucking hell this club 😂😂

Azaz has been massively underwhelming given his stats in the league the last two seasons. Peretz hasn't been here long enough and let's be honest a fag packet would of been better than Baz. Jander has potential but is no where the finished article Scienza has been a revelation, no qualms there. So on that basis, about a 15% success rate from Spors signings. Replacing one of the most potent strikers in the league, for an out of form 30 year old that cannot get a game in the dutch league is a cause for concern in my eyes

He makes Downs look competent. I’m hoping this is a massive wind-up.

To counter balance that... here's a video showing him be absolutely lethal from 3 yards

This striker might just about make sense if we are trying to balance the books for a serious shot at promotion next season, and he is being brought in as a back up for Stewart , if they are very confident in his fitness holding up. Or if the are really confident that he is an undiscovered genius. None of those apply though.

Give it a rest FFS !

To be fair he has scored 30 international goals and 30 in 70 as Besiktas. Not been good this season however he does fit in the bill in terms of that physical presence we really need.

Most players get a YouTube highlights video that makes them look like Messi. This one looks like somebody managed to create a cross between Joe Aribo and BBD.

Will be very astounded if we sell Adam Armstrong this January, however, by the sounds of it, it looks all but done. It says a lot about: - a player that’s moving to a team that is almost certain to be relegated. - a football club that hasn’t a clue what its policy is in the transfer market. (It’s suggested we haven’t got anyone lined up). - a football club that is clearly not going for promotion.

Any chance you could send that to dopey Dragan 😂.

blimey. I am guessing the scouts that haven't been asked to watch him have spent the time discovering this kind of stuff.

I have heard different. He was the one forward in the Isak/Wissa/Strand-Larsen debacle who did not go on a strike, and as a result, he did not get a move to Newcastle in the summer, and when struggeling for form, the Wolves fans turned on him. Loyalty in football is dead, from all sides...

The best bit is at the end

Gateau

3-0 Brazil with a hat trick

Has he got a decent enough record? 10 in 67 appearances for Mallorca is hardly great. He’s most prolific spell was in the MLS with Orlando and that’s hardly a comparable standard. SR are incapable of buying a decent striker.

bloody hell. When Edozie was linked to them and Ueda was mentioned tongue in cheek the other day, I thought I'd take a look at what else they had and watched Larin's youtube tape. I wasn't massively impressed with what I saw, so didn't suggest him on here as an option. Larin is certainly a broad shouldered striker that has the physicals tool to lead the line. Maybe he can hold the ball up, and bring others into the game. a lot of the highlights are of him with his back to goal retaining the ball, which we do need. He's scored some goals, a 1 in 3 record is alright, mostly in the MLS years ago, but 10 goals in 60 odd La Liga appearances for Majorca is a little concerning.

I think real world evidence backs up the concerns displayed

Relatable: Where does this leave Watford? Where it always does - looking to find a good head coach who can work with the club and the trading model it follows. It means fielding a lot of young, inexperienced players and hoping they will be good enough to deal with a demanding Championship.
