BARCELONASAINT

A little bit upset by little Southampton wasn't he. Hope there weren't any bridges on his way home!

Without doubt you cannot ask for a better debut and i think when that bullet header went in we all thought "wow I wasn't expecting that", i certainly wasn't. It is far too early to say if Larin will be hit or miss BUT he is already an upgrade on DOWNS because he scored and he uses his physicality to hold up the ball and cause defenders a bit of a nightmare. My one concern is he appears woefully unfit. He reminds me of Tall Paul in that respect "blowing out of his arse within 10 minutes" At the moment he has not got 45 minutes in him and this is one of the things that fans from his previous clubs cited. We need to manage his game time carefully as we have with Stewart and hope to god Stewart stays fit. I see him being used as an impact sub at best for the last 20/25 minutes of games.

Unfortunately I did pick up on him looking in some discomfort soon after scoring and rubbing the back of his leg. He obviously carried on to the final whistle so hopefully was only a tweak.

something has gone on behind the scenes, there's no way you freeze out an asset to the point no one really made a concrete offer to sign him. I would love to know what he did because i can't believe he didn't do anything....it just does not make any sense.

For me today is where this set of players need to show they are still very much in the hunt for a playoff place. I want to see a statement of intent from us and to go at Watford from the start. We need to be winning all our home games now without fail as we have left ourselves a mountain to climb. Lose today and unfortunately i will not see us as a playoff contender.

I think the fans will give him a fair crack of the whip, lets face it Damion Downs only started to get negative crap from the terraces after quite a run of games where he contributed nothing whatsoever. All Larin has to do is put himself about, run around a bit and he's automatically better than DD.

like any signing Saints make i really want them to be successful and want to be excited about watching them wearing our colours. Even though most of the more recent stats and reports don't look great i will get behind Cyle when he steps on the pitch and wish him all the best. I listened to his interview last night and he came across well and he has all the motivation in the world for performing well for us!!!! Do this business for us and his World Cup place is a certainty.

Even the media team are totally disinterested ffs!

they don't watch anyone anymore, that much is evident by the last useless striker they signed!

your club are touting out Marks Inchaud to an American team, this is the 4th player Valenciennes have tried to entice the American team to take this month! It sounds to me the club are desperate to claw some money back in.

I'm guessing the same

So seems talk off Archer going to Rangers on loan maybe premature. Saints were in talks for another striker coming in on top of donkey Larins but talks have stalled meaning Archer goes nowhere!

woke up this morning thinking "fuck me that was one horrible nightmare" and then i realised it had not been a horrible dream!

This Cyle Larin makes Alia Dia look like a world beater...ffs!

AA is not young, hungry or likely to improve......time to move on, there are definite signs his appetite has gone and he's had his fill of Saints.
