Larrieu: wants to stay at Gillingham
Larrieu has impressed fans with his assured displays between the sticks for the Gills - and it seems that the French keeper is keen to stay at Priestfield, at least in the short term.

"I'm getting match practice, which is what I was looking for, and I'm enjoying myself. It's just a good feeling to be playing regularly again.

"This season has been pretty messed up for me, with what happened in the summer, and I felt I couldn't afford to be wasting any more time.

"I wanted to get something out of this season and for me to do that I needed to go somewhere else, and Gillingham were the team.

"It's a new experience for me and I have enjoyed it. I played my first game for Gillingham and I didn't even know them. I just showed up for it.

"It's very different, and it's a bit of fresh air for me as well because I have been here (at Argyle) for more than six years now I want to play and they (Gillingham) have given me the opportunity.

"My loan finishes on Saturday and I don't know what the situation is. I know their goalie is coming back to fitness but he's not ready yet. I wouldn't mind staying with them a bit longer, if everybody is happy with that. We will see what happens.

"I think Ollie (Ian Holloway) would let me go even though we have got some very important games coming up."
