Metro Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 FWIW, Oly builds their team with the goal of moving beyond the Champs League Group Stage. Whether that actually happens or not is another story( 😒), but if Oly signs Larin, it is because they believe he can help them do that.

baulderdash77 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I like this move for Larin. He’s going to be featured by Olympiacos most likely and he’ll be playing CL qualification or group stage every year. It feels like a good level for him HochelagaFC and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I wonder where they’ll play him if they sign him? It looks like Olympiacos is resigning El Arabi as their #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Olympiacos is perfect now that I've had to really really think about it and playing in the Greek league isn't so bad. He would be featured regularly and he can have the spotlight put on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the level is about right, ignoring his weak season at Besiktas. Anyone with proven goal-scoring on a free transfer and wanting 2 million euros salary has be given a look at. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cyle should have left Turkey already to be honest. Plus if he were to go to the Premier League and play for a team like West Ham, would it really be the worst thing? jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Would be disappointing. I would rather he play for Galatasaray or even Olympiacos. The level in MLS is fine, but depending on how the season goes he could be inactive for a while heading into Qatar. We don't need another player in that situation, especially one of our top scorers. The other thing is that playing in Europe I think keeps the top 5 league move within grasp, even with those aforementioned clubs. By contrast, I don't see him moving to a top 5 league from LAFC or NYCFC. Not saying it would be impossible, but it just becomes less likely in my mind. johnyb, Cheeta, Corazon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If Larin comes back to the MLS, he's definitely never going back to europe. It seems like he has plenty of offers elsewhere, and if he wanted money, I believe he had some Saudi offer back in January? I still hope when this is all over he finds himself in the EFL, but the longer this goes on, the more I'm warming up to the Olympiakos rumors too. toontownman, costarg and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably MLS is not his priority but him and/or his agent remain open to hearing from those willing to offer the compensation he's seeking.

I agree and it's why I don't think he'll go back for an extra 1M a year. That's a lot of extra money but hard to imagine it's enough for him to give up on playing at the highest level, which is what's going to happen in MLS. The league is a great stepping stone for young players, or a good place to wrap up your career, but Cyle is kind of in the middle. It's too early to come back and the league already served him well as a stepping stone, so what's the point? An extra 1M? I find it unlikely.

Not to mention, say a team like, I dunno, Huddersfield town or Sheffield offer him 1M less than LAFC or New York City- how much of that raise are you spending on living in NYC or LA vs. whatever the cost of living is living in a D list market in the UK? Especially if he stays in Turkey, he's going to be keeping so much more of his money than if he moved to a heavily taxed jurisdiction.

He could wind up at a London club, but no other city strikes me as being LA/NYC level expensive. I wonder if that even factors in for a guy like Cyle though. Something all of us non-millionaires factor in may not even land on his radar. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that because if he does go MLS, I think he’d be a great on CF Montreal as a replacement for when Mihailovic eventually goes to Europe as has been speculated, but he’d be paying like 50% taxes in Quebec vs what I assume is a lot higher than in Turkey. I think this only becomes more of an issue the richer you get. If Larin comes to (most teams case) the MLS, after agency fees, income tax and all, he’s probably losing at least 50%, and then there’s the cost of living. No clue where MLS players live, but I can only imagine he lives like a king in Istanbul whereas in NYC or LA, he’d only be a modestly well off guy. johnyb, Obinna and costarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
