I'm a Mallorca season ticket holder. He's one of the worst strikers I've ever suffered. Puts himself about a bit and tries very hard, but misses everything. Like having a center back up front. Serious nightmare signing. Really really ****.
Scored a few in Turkey...hopefully if he is another Tall Paul, we will at least try to pass to him
Surely not. SR are so good at signing strikers though.
Brilliant. People slagged off Che, Shane, and Adarma constantly, and I loved all three of them.
But if he's Damion Downs level crap, then I give up.

Imagine a situation where you moved to another country and lived there for twenty years and became a season ticket holder for the local team though always remaining saints through and though and they sign Downes. Or Carrillo . I'd be pushing it to say he's as good as Onuacho, Larin isn't as prolific. My mates think it's hysterical. Larin was a running joke. This is like your worse nightmare becoming true.
I'm not doubting you for a second, mate; fully expecting him to be gash. But there must be something about him. He has a good record in Turkey, and for Valladolid. Is it Mallorca's playing style etc? Tall Paul looked sh*t for Saints, but no doubt he would look decent enough for most Championship teams.
What's the rest of his game like; holding the ball up, passing etc? There must be a reason quite a few teams are after him? Or maybe he just uses the same agent as THB?
Damion Downs scored 10 goals last season.

Nah, we’ve been doing the worst nightmare bit for ages. Anyways, he cannot be worse than DDowns; impossible.
I'll still hold some faint hope that he might do the business. Needs to hit the ground running though which isn't ideal.
The irony is that you’d think that Tall Paul might actually do well with the current three behind him and in the championship
But maybe I’m being naive
Hopefully he's not like Tall Paul and he can actually jump when challenging for long balls pumped upto him.
The Championship is the sort of league where crap strikers can suddenly look amazing if the team around them plays to their style. The likes of Akpom, Szmodics, Brereton Diaz have all had 20+ goal seasons, but in most other seasons been a bit rubbish.
So let's just hope we somehow get Larin to click.
