dyslexic nam Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 That is how I interpret it as well. Great news insofar as it shows faith in Larin and that he will get a ton more minutes. maccaliam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news insofar as it shows faith in Larin and that he will get a ton more minutes. He is getting his chance, and he needs to start producing (not implying he hasnt been, but he's yet to score against a top rival). The last game he had 2 good chances to put it away and missed. He needs to start putting away the chances he gets or the coaching staff and fans will lose faith in him. As he starts to face stronger teams the chances will starts to become fewer, amd thats what separates a world class striker from the rest, they put away the few chances they get. Besiktas' supporters are very demanding and they expect a lot from their forwards. Edited August 16, 2018 by LeoH037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Besiktas down 1-0 to LASK at the half, couldve been 2. Larin not seeing much of the ball. Stream: https://www.sporcast2.net/lask-linz-besiktas-j-k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Larin got subbed out around the 60th when they were down 2-0 (2-1 agg). They need a goal with about 10 minutes left to advance. Anyone know how he played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who replaced him scored and it ended 2-1 which I think gave Besitkas the overall win on away goals with a 2-2 aggregate. However, that player was also given a red card as part of his goal celebration so he won't be starting ahead of Larin in the next Europe league match deschamp86 and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a chance at a diving header in the second half but the cross was just beyond him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only benefit Larin to remain in the starting XI of Besiktas unless if the Turkish Giants decide to bring someone else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 70 league goals in about 130 appearances. Man city bought him up after that and once he struggled there they loaned him to Valencia, who ultimately bought him. His strike rate was never that impressive at Valencia, which is likely why Besiktas saw an opportunity to swoop in for a big name at a cheap price, which they often do. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 If they sell both Love and Negredo, that leaves Larin with a lot of responsibility. I'd be surprised, frankly, if they left it at that. But hey, ask Cyle to step up, sounds fine by me. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 With the state of the Turkish financial market and in particular the lira, these guys are more a selling league than for along time. I can't see them having much cash to buy anyone right now even if they sell players. If they are paying players in USD, clubs are going to have a very hard time making payroll; if they are paying in lira, players are going to want to leave as their wages have just fallen by about 40% this year in real terms. So I think few players will want to come there even if they have the money to buy them. Therefore, its likely Larin will be left with a lot of responsibility which maybe a good thing for his playing time but the league overall will be diminished significantly in the short term.

Honestly, I had completelyforgotten about the lira meltdown. That could be kind of a big deal for Larin and Hutch. Do we know if they are paid in USD? I remember discussion about some of pur other players getting screwed on the financial side of things (in Romania?) and it would be a shame to see two of our higher produce players get caught up in anything like that sort of thing.
