Iranian- Winter Transfer window Thread 2025

[Pluto2000]

Uzbekistan seems to have invested a lot more in sports over the past 15 years. Their Olympic results have improved significantly, and their youth football teams (U17, U19, U23) have outperformed ours in the last decade. Will be interesting to see how they perform at the World Cup.

Absolutely, Uzbekistan has been beating our youth teams at every level since 2019, their investment in those programs is starting to show up at the senior level too as time goes on.

Their new CEO is notorious for bumping up prices and making expensive transfers. The fans love it, but then it becomes clear they didn't have the money and the club is in trouble. No one remembers and the guy after gets in trouble for it.

What u said is exactly how it's been with pp and ss last 45 years. Now there is no money issue anymore as both clubs are owned by rich companies, only issue now is following the cap

We have a big problem with conservatism in Iran, specially with sports.

About football, we are allergic to change and keep keeping the same old washed and sometimes overrated recipes. It is the case with young players, coaches, transfers.. Having our best players rushing to spend their prime in middle east (uae qatar even ipl) is problem we have for more than 20 years..
Sometimes we change but it is at a snail pace or small steps.

About sports and Olympics, we keep focusing on the same sports and make no place for new sports to emerge. The exception were volleyball and taekwondo and we saw the results.

Khusanov gonna be eating iranian forwards for the next decade. He already made abgusht twice with azmoun and taremi.

He’s one defender. Let’s not get carried away now.

I have previously posted a couple times my prediction that Uzbekistan will surpass Iran in football in next 5-10 years. Both in quality of legionnaire and national team. Last time I posted it, Man city and Real weren’t after their player. Let’s see what happens next, maybe at world cup yeah? I’m not carried away just looking at reality. Their youth program is already something we would dream of. Taremi and azmoun can’t even match shomurodov in big boy league. And now 40 million euro deal to Man city. We can only say our players smoke more hooka and have more rewards points at UAE mcdonalds.

Btw special message to fans who say ‘nushe junesh’ about players signing contracts in qatar or uae. i hope shametun aajor beshe to shekametun. For 25 years I am seeing comments of “nushe junesh” to players wasting their lives and ruining our football in these donkey leagues. Khak to sare hamatun.

BTW one reason for this move is also because their national team has been starting Khusanov every single game, and he was also starting every Asian Cup game. Same thing for Suzuki from Japan, started every game then got a big move from Jupiler to Serie A.

I imagine there would be a lot more eyes on players like Hosseinejad, etc if they played more often for us at the national team level instead of being locked away behind PGPL cameras from 1980s. Same thing for World Cup, youth players who are talented who start there often get a big move after. 90 percent of teams don't even know some of our players exist

[Pluto2000]

Mehdi Zare ( 21 year old 6'5 Gol Gohar CB who has best defensive stats in PGPL so far this season) is close to signing with Russian side Akhmat Grozny.

BTW if true, Gol Gohar will have made quite the profit on him. From 100k at Esteghlal Academy to 900k transfer to Russia

Their youth program is indeed impressive, but for some reason it doesn't translate at the senior level.

In general, I don't believe having one or even two superstars can take you far in international football in Asia.
The main reason being is the team's general performance regresses to the mean.
It's why even an Iran that had guys like Azizi, Daei, Bagheri, Mahdavikia, and Karimi would struggle versus Bahrain.
It's why South Korea still isn't consistently great.
It's why Egypt can barely qualify for a World Cup.

To me as long as Asian club football continues to be at a low level (I don't mean the occasional superstar who gets signed)... then Asian football will stay at a poor level.
The only league that has been constantly focusing on youth for 30+ years in Asia is Japan, and they are consistently getting fruit from it.
Uzbekistan is trying, but they need to elevate their league as well to have guys like Khusanov be surrounded by other classy players.

Youth programs usually take 15-30 years to start paying off at senior level. Uzbekistan only recently started investing into their football program in 2012 with investments into stadiums, grassroots programs, etc. In fact something interesting they've done is their league has paid European clubs to come help modernize development and tactics rapidly. You might be surprised but Juventus and some French clubs actually have academies in Tashkent after the big $$$ came in.

They've been dominating us at U17-U23 since 2019 with their resources they're giving their youth.

Not to say Iran won't stay competitive because no matter how good these countries get we still have the physicality, natural talent, and technique to beat them any day with some heart and motivation (as seen vs Japan earlier last year). Though it won't really transfer to winning any actual tournaments or progressing in the WC because to do that you need depth, proper coaching, proper staff (all of which come from - investments). So our football will just stay stagnant or decline slowly again until we get another golden generation/CQ who is willing to literally travel through the country to find players like ARJ for our U17 from a random club like Damash Gilan
