Sajjad Shahbazzadeh @ Alanyaspor 2016-2017

[Sly]

Iranians are unfortunately way into cheshmo hamcheshmi! Fortunately, in this case, it's for a good cause!

[Messy]

This guy hasn't been capped for Iran yet... if he wants to wear our jersey he needs to make this move. Mansourian needs to let him go and coach up a youngster to take Shahbazzadeh's place.

He has left Iran for Turkey

Fuck yeah, when was the last time we had such a positive transfer window? Hope it materialises....

This is a national disgrace! Turks never treat Iranians well. Look how they commit genocide on Kurds! These Iranian players will go there with high hopes and then spend half/full season benchwarming then come back to IPL with no game play for 6 months or 1 year!
Iranians should focus on Greece, Russia, Holland, Belgium and Portugal. Even Switzerland and Austria will be good too.
They should avoid Persian Gulf's Arab leagues, Azerbaijan and Turkey even if they get high offers. Mickeymouse leagues like A-League, I-League, S-League and M-League are to be avoided as well

Who said Turks don't treat Iranians well? I have lived in country for some time and i just have good words about country and their people. Such a warm and friendly.

[Karimi 8]

I hope we get more players there, it will be a great opportunity to go on to better European clubs, and the Turkish league is a lot better than the shitty arab leagues majority of our players go to.

Do you have any evidence of this claim? Last I checked they are one of the only countries who allow iranians visa free travel.
Ive been to turkey more than once and I'm sure other members have more experience than I do. I have never felt judged against or poorly treated in turkey.

Also, turkish league is strong and has players from all over the world.

[pdot]

It seems interesting to me that the same week Turkey fixes their problems with Iran, we see two players and almost three sign to Turkish teams. Maybe I'm reading to much into this, but the entire Israel and Turkey meeting can't be a coincidence.

[arash123]

Like others have mentiones, going to the Turkish league is much better than the current IPL and Persian Gulf leagues

It depends where you go in Turkey. Istanbul is full of crook Turks. Ankara is more civilized and Adana, Antalia and Ezmir are tourist centers.

So is every big cities, so is Tehran. What is your conclusion here? General perception of Iranians about Turks and Turkey is totally wrong, i don't blame you i was told same kind of stuff, that watch they steal your money, they attack you in street, they hate Iranians. I never even for once felt that.

Most Turkish people adored Saddam Hussein, nowadays they love Saudi Arabia and they hate Shia Muslims. They hate and kill Kurds who are of Iranian race. There are many news on yearly basis on how Iranian refugees/expats got attacked/robbed/cheated by Turkish criminal gangs or random people in the streets. At times even airline staff from Turkey beated Iranian passengers, one such news I remember was a Pegasus Airline male employee had beatup an Iranian female passenger at a Turkish Airport. Also in countries where are more Iranians more than Turks, such as USA/Canada/Sweden/Persian Gulf Arab countries maybe Turks treat Iranians well but in countries where there are more Turks than Iranians such as Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Australia, they snob Iranians or don't get along with Iranians unless the Iranian person is Azerbaijani speaking then that's another story Anyways their national team and club teams are supported by Pan-Turk Racists. I still feel it is national disgrace to have Iranian players in their league considering in our entire history our league only had one Turkish player where as their players do play in inferior leagues to our IPL such as Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, this clearly shows Turkish footballers hatred towards Iran and Iranian League.
Only at times their coaches come to Iran and that is purely to get a huge paycheck.

Many Turks from Turkey have this Ottoman ego, thinking themselves as conquerors of all other nations. Some of these individuals have either superiority issues, or dream about Pan Turanism. Unfortunately, the education system is the first instigator here. Ultra nationalists have been misguiding some folks in Turkey and Former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan (FSROA). The situation of Armenian Genocide/Kara Baq and constant conflict of Turks and Kurds have left a breeding ground for hatred and fascism in these countries which is more than healthy dose of an average country. If you happen to face these individuals then you may experience it first hand otherwise the rest of people are just like any average citizen around the world. (I have seen more anti-Iranian feeling among Soviet Azerbaijanis, although I have to admit I haven't been to Turkey since the Syrian civil war got worse in 2014. The plight of Syrian refugees and involvement of Turkish regime in civil war might have changed the public opinion about Iran and Iranians)

[Naap]

Stop spreding so much BS. Im 3-4 times per year in Turkey. The Turkish people have very large respect for us iranians. The most of them are very well informed about our history and influence of our culture on their culture.
