Alex Samizadeh @ Kilmarnock F.C. | 2017-2018

[maniei]

Best news for some time.
I was really worried for him being stuck at Bolton u23 forever.
I'm sure he will do well and move on to bigger clubs and leagues. His physique is fine and good enough for top football.

The question is whether he will take off right away in his first season. If he establishes himself and collects a couple of goals and Assists this season, he will definitely be interesting for the world Cup. If Iran is to play 433 permanently, we are going to need more wing strikers.
So far when Alireza and dejagah are not available we have to play with ansarifard and taremi on the wings.

I love Samizadeh, but at 18, idk if hes ready for our WC 2018 plans...

Best case scenario for him is to kill it in the SPL, make a good euro move, then maybe get capped for the U23 team?

Let's hope he doesn't end playing like Pedram Ardalany. He used to play in the Scottish Premier League. Now he plays for Esteghlal Ahvaz.

(Sorry for the terrible music. This is the best footage I can find)

* A Persian newspaper in the video mentioned that he was the "Ali Karimi of the Scottish League".

Was this a friendly? Either way, nice to see a manager playing Samizadeh for once. He's so talented.. I really feel like he can make his way to better european leagues.

It was a Scottish League Cup match.

I gather there'll be a 2nd leg coming up !? Or are they out of cup already. !? That's suck as new signings, especially youngsters get a good chance to make a case for themselves in cup games.

Was it away leg or home !?

Samizadeh came on as a sub and played 14 minutes in his teams 2:0 win against Annan Athletic in the Scottish League Cup. Seems that the coach trusts him which is great news.

put it in perspective.
Annan are Scottish league 2 [4th division] and Kilmarnock are Premiership [top league]
And the manager 'trsuted' him for 14 minutes when they were already winning...

I forgot all about him. Hope he gets playing time soon, he has made the right career choices, and I am sure they will pay off.
