I don't get it. Maybe money is an issue, but for a player with almost 300 club caps and 77 NT caps at the age of 26 how can he have no interest for a decent side?!! It hurts my brain even thinking about it.....ONLY FRIGGEN 26 for the love of god stay out of Iran.

Originally posted by Ghermez Agha View PostI used to think this way, I didn't like Ehsan's game at all I thought he was the most over rated player we had ever seen in Iran he used to commit tons of silly turn overs and take stupid and unnecessary risks but in the months leading up to the WC back in 2014 he really improved his game and got rid of some of those bad qualities, his performances improved tremendously both for club and country. When used properly (as a LM) he can be very effective....he's pretty much been on an upward spiral since summer of 2014 IMO which is why it is so important for him to stay in Europe and continue that. I got no doubt that if he can manage to find a decent team in a decent league that he will give himself a chance to go somewhere bigger and better in the future. One season in a lousy 2. Bundesliga side unfortunately didn't get him the recognition he deserves, which again is another reason it's important for him to stay in Europe and show what he's got so he can get to the bundesliga in the next couple of seasons hopefully.
he used to play Very Careless and stupidly Nonchalant which used to infuriate me ..! and Ando to a point that he scolded him once during a match...! then after in the late run-up to WC and afterwards he took his duties more seriously and attempted far less bonehead risky plays and cut back a bit on his turnover ratio, but for all the immense international experience that he got, his caliber as a player hardly show much improvement to me and for most part he remained the same ol ehsan .... an "Almost decent footballer but not quiet good enough" ......!
he was at fault for Both iraq goals we conceded in AC15 QF and Retardedly skied a fking vital PK which shoulda never been trusted to him to take in first place by CQ...!! Yet everyone blamed the ref, pooladi, the sun n the moon but haj safi who reeed all over that AC Campaign single-handily..!! and thats just one instance...
many want him to play in BL1 ...!! Yet he had below average performances in BL2 nearly 70+% of his matches last season, yet everyone blamed the german news media for prejudicial ratings every damn time..! Trust me if he was good enough, at least another BL2 Side woulda grabbed him for this season, afterall his playing paperwork was in order and he wasnt all that expensive of a talent.
i tell you what, if he really wanna still play decent level, somewhat reputable European football and he is content with a semi-meager salary, then he his agent should market him to Eredivisie or at a very least Eerste Divisie...!!
his overall game is a near perfect match for Dutch leagues(A mostly attacking, somewhat defensive, Rare LWinger with abundance of Int. experience to boot) and im certain he will fit in greatly in a Mid to lower table Eredivisie team like NEC, heernveen n such..! and he should be somewhat affordable international with all the necessary paperwork outa way too..!!

the countries you mentioned are well respected asian footballing countries with governments who have respect for and adhere to international marketing and broadcast laws...!
contrary to what many would think its not really about selling and marketing the players' Jersey and other consumer products..!! (most of that income goes to their Kit sponsors anyways, who in turn pay high sponsorship fees to represent those clubs )
by far n away The BIGGEST Source of Income for EU (and other big international) Football Clubs is the HUGE sum$ they receive from the Broadcast Rights of their games in counties all over the world, say like SK or Japan..!!
furthermore the rating and viewership for their games in those countries soars through the roof when the club includes in their roster a player from that country..!! ultimately that media exposure, popularize their Club within that nation and add to the club's international notoriety and present the club other marketing opportunities in order to further monazite their new found acclaim..!
so yea, since the IR blatantly steals the signals and shamelessly broadcast the high profile international games on IRIB and makes a shitton of advertising $$ from it and yet does not pay any advertising kickbacks to the Original Broadcasters, then the broadcasters have no such boosted income from Iran to funnel a portion of it back to those respective clubs..!!
Therefore Yes, from a European Club's Perspective, the Iranian footballer have for most part Solely their Football Value ..! while the Japanese and SK player has a huge marking value to boot in addition to their strict football quality ..!
hence, rightfully they are sought after much higher than an Iranian player and much bigger sums are paid for their services as opposed to a comparable iranian player..!

well at least it wasnt for the lack of trying, so we cant really blame him, in fact i admire him for his zeal to remain in EU for so long ..!
i honestly think, he has a bit better chance of retaining his TM spot, if he can lead the line at Sepahan, start most all their games and prove a marquee star there with a some goals to boot, than going to some below avg. European league (like the Greek league which in my limited viewing seems hardly more competitive than the IPL), making less than 1/4 of money and may be even getting frequently benched and not get enough game time to remain sharp and in-form..!
like i said before, as an iranian international his marketing worth to decent EU clubs is rather nominal and his overall pure Football offerings just isnt good enough to play at such levels game in/game out, despite what his immense Int. Exp. at still somewhat of a young age may suggest..!!
