Exactly what I said before because if Cyle does have a great tournament and he replicates his qualifying form and scores goals for Canada in Qatar, then the more clubs will come his way. Every player more or less uses the World Cup as their launching pad towards getting deals at club level for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiecanuck Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Cyle has hardly started lately. It's hard to score goals when you're sitting on the bench or getting run out for 15 or 20 minutes at the end of the game. His playing time is most likely a reflection of his contract situation rather than his abilities or form.

Obinna Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Probably best for everybody. Larin stays in a familiar environment ahead of the World Cup, and should he impress and get transfer offers, Besiktas can cash in and Larin can get the move up he wanted. Is this an improvement on his last contract? I recall him being on 1.5, but I am not sure that's accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 For the CMNT, the fact that Larin will get regular playing time leading up to the WC is a plus, it's got to be a disappointment for his soccer progression and a move to a higher level/league.

They have a playoff with Copenhagen to directly get in to Champions League. Considering that he has no other offers and Besiktas is not playing in Europe this might not be a bad move.

I don't mind if it's a short term contract and Larin can then sign on a free elsewhere post world cup, or perhaps move on for a modest fee that's not too restrictive and gives Larin a lot of options. Would be a win for Larin and Red Star as they'd be signing him on a free and pocketing a tidy profit, after having an elite striker in their ranks for a season, or half a season.

Norrin Radd Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I think the key for him is to go to a team that will use him as a striker not a winger. Playing as a winger has given him an opportunity to round out his game but it's not the ideal position for him. Last year he had a good partnership with Aboubakar where he would drift into the middle and play as a second striker. It seems that this year he's been more of a true wide player and he hasn't been nearly as productive. In his appearances with Canada he has shown what he can do if he plays up top with support from the wings. I'd like to see him move somewhere where he can play a similar role and I doubt that will happen if he stays at Besiktas. narduch, ag futbol, Obinna and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him move somewhere where he can play a similar role and I doubt that will happen if he stays at Besiktas. I think his best position is as a FW in a front 3. One where he’ll frequently drift underneath the target man or make runs to the far post. That seemed to be where he had his best seasons at Besiktas. Make no mistake, he’s not a speedy play-making type from that position, but he roams into all sorts of spots and poaches a ton of goals. Not a huge fan of him as an out-and-out #9. Holdup play is only so-so and he doesn’t always do the greatest job clearing out space for himself in the box. Put him with a target man in the middle and he’s dynamite. The partnership with Aboubakar was key in Larin’s success. Edited May 29, 2022 by ag futbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Lateral at best in my opinion. Unless there is a conflict at Besiktas, or a significant bump in salary, I don't see why he wouldn't just stay at Besiktas if that's all that's on the table. It's still early in the summer, so they'll be plenty more links and suitors, I am sure. johnyb and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Would be a weird one. Backwards step in term of prestige but likely more playing time? I would hope for a better move but main thing is to get him playing and scoring ahead of Qatar. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) It is a bad move for a number of reasons, going on memory here. The team is an invention of the political wing of Erdogan's party from when he was mayor of Istanbul. They realised they had no control of the big three in Istanbul, most of whose fan bases are more liberal--and especially so with Besiktas, strongly associated with European political democratic views and liberal social mores. So they'd be politically associated with the conservative (not radical) Islamist positions that Erdogan espouses. It's the regime's team. Players go there often for what could be described as mercenary motives. They have a rather tiny fan base in a big stadium and don't get good crowds, mostly for the reasons indicated. Basically, they have not caught on because they have no foundation, are based in a neighbourhood that is disassociated with a potential fanbase, and are ideologically tainted. He also squanders his good reputation in Turkey as most fans will just hate him outright for going there. It is not a lateral move, it is backwards and odd they'd even consider it. Then there is this: are they going to pay him more money there than at Besiktas? Even the source of their funding is dubious as they don't generate revenue anywhere near their Istanbul rivals.
