I think Jlloyd Samuel was "technically" English

Yea but he was a T&T international so he was counted as Trinidad. Thanks for the pics, the quality of our foreign players is rising these season, hopefully we see even more good players in the winter window.

In general this Sulaka guy looks quite average and not that special compared to other foreigners we have been bringing the last 2-3 years, he isn't that great and would fit Siah Jamegan, he most likely won't even be the best foreigner of his team next to Jovanovic and Renan Silva

But overall there's clearly a big improvement in the quality of foreigners it's really clear, I feel like the league is on the right track with more and more young players being given considerable play time even becoming key players for their teams (Ali Karimi, Motahari, Mohammadis, Torabi, Cheshmi, Pahlevan etc...) and foreign players are better every year

Hopefully Siah Jamegan leases Astan Quds Razavi stadium for their matches. Samen is old.

Also, Rebin Sulaka is Assyrian. Good people. He is no Karrar.

Many Iraqi Assyrians have families in Urmia. Many of their ancestors escaped to Iraq when Ottomans army and some Kurds started massacring them in Northern Iran near the border with Turkey.

Unfortunately the stupid qajars didn't really keep the borders of our country safe and Ottomans invaded easily.

Edinho might join Perspolis

In an ideal world, Quality foreign coach and players should come to IPL while the best iranian players goes to Europe. Teams would be a mixture of good foreign players, iranian youngs + some iranian veterans such as Mahdavikia, Neku, etc... In an ideal world.

How many players is PP intending to buy?! Every season they bring in a whole new team + coaching staff and expand it even further during the winter transfer window! You have to give a group time to become tight and a real team; adding new (big) names all the time won't be helpful.

How is just getting Edinho adding a whole group to our team? We're just looking to sign the needed players in needed positions. If anything we are trying to get Nouri back or instead Edinho for the missing spot of Norouzi.

Now, a Chinese team seems to be after Alishah as well.

There have also been rumors about adding other players as well, like PAG for example!

But this isn't about Edinho. What I said was a general thing, it isn't anything new! PP has been doing this almost every season for the past years and years. Just adding new players and coaching staff every new season isn't going to solve anything, like you have seen yourself. Almost every season a new coach and staff is brought in who demands his own set of players, who is then fired (or steps down) somewhere throughout the season or at the end of it and and the cycle continues.

You need to give a coach and a group of players time to become a real team! That's what I'm saying.
