It's not like these are kids on a playground trying to make friends or anything. 3 mil is just the amount it takes to buy of his contract, and it's exactly the amount I predicted nearly a year ago. They can't get him for nothing, he's under 23 so they will have to pay compensation for his development - which will probably run close to that amount anyways.

matty Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Fresh from Turkish CNN (and google translate) Canadian striker Cyle Larin allegedly understands Besiktas 'football in my life in Europe,' he said. The player's contract will end on December 31, 2017 and Larin will be released. https://www.cnnturk.com/spor/futbol/fellaini-koptu-geliyor-son-dakika-besiktas-transfer-haberleri-26-aralik-2017 Think we'll see him join Jan 1?

Bikerack Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I know he gets a lot of flack for his NT performances , but I'm so happy that he is getting so much interest from decent clubs in decent leagues. It's very exciting to see all these offers come up Hopefully there will be a lot more Canadian kids developing through MLS and working there way up BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a totally ignorant comment, the league is full of Turkish youth and all the top teams sign young up and coming players from the world over. If you look at Besiktas, there are only two players on that team at the end of their careers, Atiba and Pepe Is Bundesliga better? Of course. Will he be sure to get the playing time he needs on a team in B1? No way. Would he be likely to get more time playing for a team that often dominates weaker opposition and can sub him in? Pretty sure. But if he goes to BM, fantastic, no question. WheatsheafSK, BuzzAndSting, jpg75 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'd be happy with either Gladbach or Besiktas. Guessing Gladbach (a shrewdly run club) caught wind of how low the fee is going to be for Larin and see an opportunity for investment.

But I struggle to think of a single non-Turkish player who has launched his career in the Superlig. In Contrast..... Van Persie, Eboue, Drogba, Ba, Hutch, Pepe, N. De Jong, Isla, Anelka, Babel, Menez, Sandro, Eto'o, Nasri, Djourou.... I could go on, and that is only a list of players who are on Turkish teams atm, or were recently. I could go on. Not all of them have, or will end their careers in Turkey, but all went there in the twilight of their careers. Not the dawn of them.

Not all of them have, or will end their careers in Turkey, but all went there in the twilight of their careers. Not the dawn of them. Whilst I agree for the most part, There have been instances of players spending the prime of thier career ( or younger) and moving to a top 5 league before 30. Some instances include: -Nani to Valencia (28 at the time) -Simon Kajer to Sevilla (27 at the time) -Nordin Amrabat to Malaga (26 at the time) -Bruma to RB Lepzig (21 at the time) So if Larin can preform well in Turkey than he will most likely get offers from teams in a top 5 league.

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Cyle Larin has launched his career in MLS. I thought that was pretty clear. I was wrong about Tosun, though he would not be sold: now seems pretty clear he is going to transfer out to England. Everton were frontrunners but Besiktas has raised their price, talking about 27 million pounds now. So makes sense to sell him. Besiktas are looking at Leicester striker Slimani http://the4thofficial.net/2018/01/leicester-city-forward-eyed-turkish-outfit-replace-star-striker-good-move-parties/ I don't think this really affects a possible Larin move there. He is not proven like an EPL striker, so they would never see him as replacing Tosun. He would go in as a sub off the bench and have to win his minutes, not start, even behind Slimani. Same at Moenchengladbach, only they have striking problems, only Raffael and Hazard are scoring for them it seems, and no one off the bench.
