sebdeserio Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hopefully Larin's thinking this through. If he does end up moving to Olympiacos while teams like Marseille were interested it'll be disappointing as a fan, but it could also see him on the fringe of the national team. Not for this World Cup but if Ugbo and Jebbison continue on their current trajectory, by 2023-2024 they'll both be playing for sides in top 5 leagues while Larin will be a 28 year old playing in Greece.

This is harsh. National team form counts as well, and Cyle has been amazing. You don't just take someone like Larin out of the squad because of the club they are at, especially if he is still scoring. Plus it is not like Olympiacos is garbage. Definitely a bigger club than somewhere like Pacos and probably most MLS teams, and yet...... johnyb, EDM Rover, Ruffian and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympiacos is a pretty big club but the league itself is a step down from the Turkish league, while Pacos gets to play against higher level teams week in and week out. Outside of Olympiacos and PAOK the teams in the greek league are probably worse than the average MLS team. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 This January or next season will be different for those with contract options etc. For the first time in forever, we have a real chance of making the WC. I know its a job and financial security is important but I think some will try to go to a higher league and push their levels. If we make Qatar it will be the biggest stage and a solid performance may turn into lucrative contract offers as it often does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Approve My Account Pls Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Could it just be posturing from both sides for money or maybe as a backup option should 'hopefully' bigger deals emerge johnyb, Obinna and Xavier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetting maybe Panathinaikos, AEK Athens---the top three in Greece and Turkey respectively are at a similar level, after that the fall-off is similar. Turkey has a better fan base in the middle and lower down, as it has more population, and more density in more cities. No matter: this is the typical rumour agents get going to whet the appetite of others, and the leak is this type, to Olympiacos, precisely because it is not where he is going to end up.

They have a really great brand of football, just don’t have an out and out finisher. Maupay ain’t it. The chances I’ve seen him misss, I’m certain Larins putting those away, as he pops up in similar places.

TGAA_Star Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Larin to Brighton...he would at least getting the chance to shine in the Premier League day in, day out or another Premier League team that you could put Larin on or with would be Crystal Palace...put him with Patrick Vieira as his manager. Crystal Palace has the likes of Wilfred Zaha, Jordan Ayew, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler55 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 https://www.lephoceen.fr/infos-om/mercato/mercato-om-longoria-continue-de-rever-de-cet-attaquant-canadien-193945 Not sure how reliable this source is but I found this part of the article interesting: (Translated) - "Trained in Canada at Sigma Academy, Cyle Larin really exploded in MLS at Orlando City where he slammed 43 goals in 87 matches under 20, then passed through Zulte Waregem before winning at Besiktas for a year and half. Under contract until next June, his Transfermarkt rating is currently at € 11.5m. Not wishing to extend in Turkey, Cyle Larin could therefore be sold this winter at an attractive price given its value. But if OM want it, we will have to fight with many clients in the Premier League, but also with Lille who would form a Canadian duo with his compatriot Jonathan David." Marseille is apparently still interested, I think Ligue 1 would be the best move cool to see Lille linked as well.
