Hm, I do think Zandi is much better than Maniei or Madanchi (although they are different player types). Not playing regulary for Kaiserslautern doesn't make Zandi's qualities he developed thanks to great German youth work nor his talent vanish.

Zandi is an intelligent player, tactically well educated, one-touch footballer and very good shooter.

Madanchi is the typical headless Iranian player, who has speed and dribbling technique, but can not utilize it due to bad and slow decision making, sometimes horrible decision making and lacking technique in certain departments (shooting, crossing while sprinting, tackling, etc.).

So even if it's very popular these days to demand Iranian based players to play instead of benched big names, I am supporting Zandi's presence in TM.

Us Iranians CANNOT be pushovers , just because Zandi is Half German does not make him a better footballer then any of our IPL boys training on the streets of Tehran.

Zandi has not proved himself to me yet , and i think on the left we desperately need Mobali , also Nikbahkt is turning into a very good player and is also an option on the left.

I Don't see why TM plays someone without hardly watching them play based on the fact they are playing in Europe.

We need to have faith in TM , Iran and Iranians rather than praising half iranians playing in Europe.

Please Note :I am not bashing Zandi , in all fairness i think he has bags of potential but it just seems Mobali , Madanchi , Manei have much ,much more

How do you get to the conclusion TM staff is hardly watching Zandi? I bet they observe the players and analyze them 100 times as precise as you and I do. So how on earth do you come to the conclusion they are hardly watching the likes of Zandi? Please explain.

i was questioning whether i should have written that Martin-Reza , but i say that because i remember straight after he signed for the IFF he played the next game for TM , we can't be pushovers we have to let Zandi sweat it out before we even give him 10mins against Qatar. Do you understand what i'm trying to say?

Cheers

Yes, it differes from hardly watching a player though, but that is a point. On the other hand he had proven himself over a long time in Bundesliga 1 and 2 (probably well observed by TM staff) at this time and if the coach is sure he's the best option for one position, I think he must play him, regardless of the impression that gives to other players. But you have a point of course.

I just meant we must be careful with conclusions like the hardly watching thing. Many people are accusing IFF and TM staff of things, just because they don't see it. They don't see TM staff scouting players, they don't see the databases of the Staff, they don't see the staff working their butts off to get friendlies etc. and immediately assume it is a fact they don't scout, they don't know anything about IPL players and they don't want to have friendlies.
