saladroit 511 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 everton would make a ton of sense, bet they would ask someone like adrian heath (played for everton) about cyle and also there were rumours about everton interest back in 2017 (probably not super accurate but it's an interesting tidbit) nolando 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Obinna 9,031 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) They are talking about a swap with Cenk Tosun. While I would like to see Larin at Everton, I would feel better about a straight up buy. Do they really want Cyle or do they just want to get Tosun off their books? Maybe it doesn't matter, but I personally want Larin at a club where he's viewed as an important signing, not where he's brought in as a makeweight. Perhaps right now that's unrealistic for a club the size of Everton, and one could argue he should take the big step up regardless, but I have no problem with him taking a smaller step up first, if that's what it takes. That said, for all I know he was already on their radar and Tosun is the makeweight in this situation. I do believe they were linked to him back when he was at Orlando, for what it's worth.

The Real Marc 476 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Is there really more to this than papers assuming Everton want to foist a Turkish player on one of the big Turkish three, and picking the guy in return with the most goals? Link to post Share on other sites

Obinna 9,031 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 If Larin continues this form and Besiktas win a trophy, and Davies and David fail to win trophies, I think he's a serious contender for Canadian player of the year. Obviously a lot has to happen, and there's a long way to go, but it's shaping up to be a 3-horse race instead of a 2-horse race, which is refreshing.

Aird25 1,538 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 That's 16 goals so far this season. I think that's the best since his rookie year (18), and there's still lots of time to surpass that. dyslexic nam, nolando and Dominic94 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He is actually born in 1996 so 25 a year younger than Larin, but before this season this guy’s only serious minutes was like 3 years ago in the French 3rd division with 15 goals . But the past two seasons was hardly getting any game minutes bouncing around the Portuguese lower divisions and French lower divisions hardly playing and barely scoring . But somehow finds himself in the Turkish top division this season and leads the league with 18 goals with Larin in second . Larin has such a better playing and scoring history compared to this guy but there he is leading the league in scoring. Soccer is indeed a strange game at times .

Norrin Radd 728 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) It should be noted that with his 13th league goal for the season Larin surpasses Josh Simpson for the highest number of goals in the Super Lig by a Canadian in a single season. He also ties Simpson's career total of 18. Edit: The 18 league goals by Simpson/Larin isn't the highest career total by a Canadian. Hutch has 21 ... and counting.

Kadenge 2,284 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Plus none of Larin's goals, I believe, are from penalties. Tough to win the scoring race if you don't take penalties . Credit to him to be in 3rd place. johnyb and Dominic94 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I was worried there would be only 2 candidates for the next decade. The award goes calendar year. So if Eustaquio moves to a top 3 Portuguese team this summer he could join this club as well.

You mean Eustaquio and yes, I think having him do well with a Porto or Lisbon, winning titles and starring in their midfield, well that would certainly put him up there.

But still, pretty good for Simpson. He had a phenomenal season in 10/11 and unlike Larin he was strictly a wide player. After Davies and Hoilett he's perhaps the best winger to wear the Canada jersey in the last 25 years. Such a shame that his career came to a sudden end when he had just reached his prime. I can't help but to wonder how the 2014 campaign might have unfolded if he was still playing. nolando, narduch, Kadenge and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
