| Cyle Larin 09:23 - Feb 9 with 1709 views | SaintNick | I suspect his standing has increased greatly after Saturday, given that so many were pointing at his 9 game spell at Feyenoord as evidence he was rubbish. Never judge a book by it's cover is probably the motto of the day. Of course one swallow doesn't make a summer, but I would say that perhaps he is the first big strong experienced centre forward that we have had in a long while, so a good addition to the armoury |  |

| Cyle Larin on 09:28 - Feb 9 with 1691 views | felly1 | Yep , a lot of bedwetting when we signed him . Probably be the only goal he'll score for us! Onuachu got another brace at the weekend. That's 16 goals in 20 games. For me he would have been perfect for this league...and we let him go for peanuts. |  | |  |

Its something we will never know so no point in keeping on about it as he refused to play in the Championship and preferred to go out on loan than play for us in it |  |

| Cyle Larin on 10:00 - Feb 9 with 1620 views | Butty101 | As you say 1 swallow etc. It was a cracking header. Before anyone gets carried away, cast you mind back to Seko time when he came on against Leeds and looked a world beater. |  |

| Cyle Larin on 10:05 - Feb 9 with 1597 views | Ifonly | Absolutely, a big strong centre forward is exactly what we have needed (so obvious for so long) and first impressions are that he can do the job. As I said at the time, one of the best things about this window is that the club have finally shown that they understand the problem and tried to sign 2 six foot plus CFs while offloading the utility forwards that they mistakenly thought could lead the line. It should be said though that we are still dependent on Ross Stewart staying fit. He is our first choice no. 9 and if he is unavailable that puts the pressure straight on to Larin. Being the only centre forward option (Archer isn't a CF) would be a different thing than coming on for the last half hour. |  | |  |
| Cyle Larin on 11:47 - Feb 9 with 1480 views | PJK1972 | I'd say we need to give Larin some games time. He didn't get that an Feyenoord. No point in using him as a bit part player because all you'll get is bitty performances. Give him 6 starts and we'll soon know if he can be a consistent threat. I like Ross Stewart, but sadly his body is not up to being a 1st choice No.9. |  |

The problem is that Larin hasn't played much in the past 9 months so I think it is a question of initially balancing Stewart & Larin, so Its hard to call who starts on Tuesday night. I think Stewart probably will, then Larin will start in the FA Cup on Saturday |  |

50% spot on....didn't Archer start on Tuesday?..If I recall it was a move not greeted with universal acclaim. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

| Cyle Larin on 14:48 - Feb 15 with 912 views | sledger | think the academy lads that came on ensured that hopefully archer will never again wear our red and white shirt. |  | |  |

Larin has never missed a penalty (or so I thought). He's even scored one against Barcelona. It's good to have someone like Lambert, Le Tissier or Peach again with such a good penalty record. [Post edited 16 Feb 17:03]

AI let me down again. I think I preferred thinking he'd never missed one. |  |

Think of it this way - he's never missed one as a Saints player and that's what matters. Long may that continue. |  | |  |

Fair point but people are only remembering Archer for missing sitters at the moment! |  |
