What is wrong with Ehsan Hajsafi?

Oh please, Sardar achieving nothing with Rostov/Rubin is not equivalent to the great record Son has already amassed at Bayer

I think he was trying to say that talent wise many Iranian players are just as good as these Korean/Japanese players so there is no reason they shouldn't be given the free rides to Europe like they are

[BacheLot]

Son recently signed for Tottenham, quality wise he's not really better than our Azmoun.

be tokhme chapesh ham nemireseh..! although he is more of winger than a striker, a more rare, as a result more valuable Left winger...!!
overall raw talent wise Son isnt even that much better ARJ, but you think any iranian will ever muster a 22mil. transfer Fee..?? fat chance of that..!!

thats cause when it boils down to its core, Club Football is just like any other Big Business, everything is about making a $1 outa 50cent..!!

if you think the overall Very Negative Image of Iran and Iranians worldwide, or the fact that Iranian TV never paying for top EU league's Broadcast of games or the country's blatant disregard for all Trade Marks and etc, Doesn't/Shouldn't affect the overall value bestowed upon our football talents and the intensity for pursuit of their services, then you just dont understand the essence of western world's Capitalism.!!

apparently Hajsafi thinks it may be easier for him to join a Bundesliga team after a season in Bundesliga 2

A quick look at the new club squad in transfermarkt.com gives you the impression that He will be used in LB position which is the weaker position he can play. He operates the best at LW. Frankfurt has an injured LB which comes back in 4 months, another LB who is suspended for 3 matches, and an insignificant 3rd option. Hajsafi should have selected a better team or at least a position that he plays well not his weakness.

Hes a good utility player. If he has to play left back thats fine I'm sure he well get he's chance at other positions throughout the season.

Is the most impressive player in IPL only good enough for a 2. bundesliga team?!!!!! Waaooo! How low have Iranian football sunk?

Technically he didn't sign there, so he isn't even good for the 13th of Bundesliga 2 so far

[pres80]

It is his own belief that he can make it to a top league easier if he goes to a second div team.

If he is going to join a second division league for me he is most compatible with German football style.

Hopefully the transfer goes through.

Good luck to him.

Unfortunately thats the reality of our football. Hajsafi might be one of the top 5 or even the best player in our league but i wouldnt even be surprised if he struggles to become a starter or get lots of playing time at FSV. Our league is not very strong, certainly weaker than the 2nd divisions of the top leagues, add to that our players being out of their comfort zone when they sign for european teams, new culture, new language..And they are no "stars" anymore unlike in Iran.

A player like Ansarifard was the best striker in our league during the past 4 or 5 years couldnt even
score one single goal in Liga Adelante. Gucci who is one of our best strikers in the past 20 years is struggling in Championship, before that didnt get much playing time in Belgian league. Lets not fool ourselves because of our pride. Our league is pretty weak compared to European leagues which is no shame. I mean seriously a 38 year old Enayati was one of the top strikers in our league past season...

So what im saying is an offer from a Bundesliga 2 team is great for a 25 year old Hajsafi. Years pass by fast and if he waits for a Bundesliga offer he might wait forever..So if theres any truth to it he should definately take it. If he is good enough there and impresses, Bundesliga offers will come automaticly.

Jahanbakhsh got transferred to the Eredivisie when he was playing at Damash Gilan, and he isn't as experienced as Hajsafi is.

So I think Hajsafi definitely can get better, but you got to start somewhere. Just saying that FSV Frankfurt is nothing to be proud of if you consider Hajsafi's profile.

Their NT players are from Slovenia, Albania, Kosovo, Kazakstan and Lebanon. I don't think these countries are better than us.

[Lorestani]

I love how you are unhappy with something that isn't even decided.

There is a big difference between a 19 and a 25 year old player...
Jahanbakhsh got a very low salary and the first 3 or 4 months sometimes even played for the 2nd team. European team dont take the risk of taking a 25 year old that could flop. They rather take an own U19 player up to the first team, who still has much space to improve, doesnt have language/cultural problems and doesnt take away a non EU spot.

And this is for those who think Bundesliga 2 would be a bad move for him. Just take a look at the market values. The bottom Bundesliga 2 teams like Frankfurt, Duisburg or Sandhauden are worth as much as our top teams like Sepahan or Esteghlal.
The average market value of a Bundesliga 2 player is 605000€.
The average market value of an Ipl player is 246000€.
A top team like Leipzig is worth close to 40.000.000€, almost twice as much as the worth of our national team.
I know market values are not everything but just for some
people to see.
