Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ Brighton & Hove Albion | 2018-2019

[Fesenjan]

Hi All,
We (BHA) are all just as excited about this signing as you it appears. I would love for the above to happen and maybe, just maybe, the stars will align and make us all happy for ALI (my personal name for him).
The response on both forums from both sets of fans (forgetting the idiots, mainly on NSC) is brilliant and really inspiring. Looking forward to chatting about ALI this season. Really excited now for it to begin.
One last thing, who is your next best player we can keep an eye on?

Keep an eye on Saman Ghoddos.

Although Sardar Azmoun is our hottest prospect talent-wise, his persistent immaturity is producing lots of red flags.

Manchester united next year, mark my words!

Oh boy, right now our national team has a golden generation of footballers under the age of 30 all worth keeping an eye on. A few off the top of my head:

Saman Ghoddos - Plays his trade in sweden but is probably gonna transfer.

Milad Mohammadi - This LB will make any ones life a living hell playing in his asile. One of the fastest we have ever had. Still very young

Saied Ezzatolahi - In terms of potential this is your guy, young, and FUKin STRONG. He is our rock in DM. He will meg you for fun.

Sardar Azmoun - Our hopes on this guy are that he will be the next Ali Daie and break the 109 international goal scoring record, if you dont know him you SHOULD NOW. He is our poacher striker. His cap to goal ration for the national team is high but he has some making up to do on the club side.

Im sure others will add to this list for you

Welcome to PFDC! Iran has a lot of talented players in not-so-great clubs and leagues. Here are a few to keep your eye on:

Morteza Pouraliganji - 26 years old - Centerback - probably one of our best players in the WC, he is a rock of a CD who gave no breathing room to Costa, Isco, and Ronaldo. He is very smart, calm, and collected. He is also very good in the air and can bag a few goals through set pieces. He last played for Al-Sadd in Qatar (same club as Xavi) and he's currently without a club.

Saeed Ezatolahi - 21 years old - Center defensive midfielder - a physically imposing, rugged, tough and hard-nosed CDM, Saeed's maturity is well beyond his tender age of 21. He played for Atletico Madrid's youth team and has recently been playing his trade in Russia. He had a great performance vs Spain and even scored the fateful disallowed goal. The sky is the ceiling for this player.

Saman Ghoddos - 24 years old - Center attacking midfielder - also can play as a support-striker, Saman is different from the rest of our prospects since he grew up in Sweden and came up the ranks of Swedish football. He is very smart, tough, one-touch player with a wicked shot and an eye for goal. He has even played for Sweden's NT and scored for them in a friendly. He thoroughly impressed in Europa League against Arsenal last season so much so that Wenger singled him out and called him an excellent footballer. Currently plays his trade in Sweden but rumors say a move is imminent. I think he fits perfectly into the EPL.

One last thing, who is your next best player we can keep an eye on?

If you asked me a year ago I would’ve said Azmoun, no hesitation.

Now? A three way tie between Saman Ghoddos, Milad Mohammadi, and Alireza Beiranvand. The first two have already garnered significant interest from top sides, and Ghoddos may actually end up signing with a PL or Ligue 1 team in the coming weeks. Beiranvand you will recognize if you followed any of our World Cup games, he’s the one who made that save on Ronaldo’s penalty. He had offers from sides such as Torino, but opted instead to stay at home with Persepolis and consider a transfer in the winter window, though I doubt any big team will want to change their keeper mid season.

For me, It is as follows:

1. Milad Mohammadi

2. Saeid Ezatolahi

3. Morteza Pouraliganji

4. Majid Hosseini

5. Anyone from the following: Sardar Azmoun, Saman Ghoddos, Reza Shekari, and Mehdi Ghaedi

This. Milad is amazing, I hope people don't concentrate too much on his ridiculously funny and surreal failed somersault against Spain.

[PEJ]

Our 2 players with the highest ceiling are Ezatolahi and Sardar. If people
Put their personal feelings aside, they can see that Sardar has all the skills to be a top class number 9. Even though people may call him immature, he is the kind of player that could really blossom with the right coach.

Sardar is the most talented Iranian player of all, and the only player we have who has the potential to be truly world class (inhuman aerial ability, skill with both feet, anticipation, acceleration....)

But buying him is a gamble for any club because of his psychological traits.

Milad is our most complete package as a player - very fast, tactically astute, outstanding aerial skills despite being short, great set pieces. But critically, is mentally in-the-right-place.

If I had to buy one Iranian footballer as a bottom-half premier league club it would definitely be Milad over Sardar, Saeid or anyone else.

[GolfePersique]

Mehdi Rajabzadeh, Reza Enayati and Rasoul Khatibi. All top players with international experience.

One last thing, who is your next best player we can keep an eye on?

lmao. You opened a can of worms with this question mate.

In terms of potential, hands down our forward Sardar Azmoun. He is in a different league of talent to Jahanbakhsh. Way more natural gifts than your new man. He enjoyed a breakout season 2 years ago in Rostov, where he excelled in the Champions League scoring against Bayern Munich in a 3-2 win for rostov (what a night that was), away at Atletico Madrid (first player to score there in something like 30 games at the time, also eventual finalists of that year), Anderlecht, Ajax (rostov destroyed something like 6-2 on aggregate), and good performances vs PSV Einhoven where he notched a couple assists. He led Rostov to an unlikely third, only a couple point behind Bayern, Athletico topped the group, PSV were last. He then followed it up in the europa league with a goal vs Sparta Prague, and a solid performance vs Man Utd Away. After major bids by the likes of Lazio and Leverkusen, Azmoun mistakenly decided to stay with his father like trainer Berdyev in Russia, and a series of mental breakdowns leading to long scoring droughts, failure to live up to hype and pressure from the previous years performances, have really hindered his development. He is still very young at 23, and playing in a very physical and defensive league where his team barely gives him one good ball every other game, but his mentality is still too weak for him to be big time right now.

Saeid Ezatolahi Probably our most talented player along with sardar. A tank of midfielder, with good technique, and excellent defensive skills. Hes 6 ft 4, but quite mobile. Started out in iran, before leaving to Atletico Madrid Academy at 18, played for them in youth champions league for a couple seasons, then moved to Rostov with Azmoun. He was very solid in the champions league for them, especially against anderlecht where he was motm, and good in cameos vs PSV and Bayern. He is probably gonna get a good move this summer after he was one of our top performers in the WC, especially vs Spain where he was MOTM.

Morteza Pouraliganji - Our best defender, and probably the best player in our national team in terms of performances. Played last couple season in Al sadd qatar, made a ton of money, got good coaching from legendary portuguese coach, Jesualdo ferreira, and really improved. Now his contract expired, and he rejected his clubs extension and other offers by qatari clubs. He has the same agent as Jahanbakhsh, and says he is definitely moving to europe this summer. We will see where he ends up.

Milad Mohammadi. Our roadrunner of a left back, only 23, plays for Akhmat in Chechnya, Russia. The best left back in russia. Insane speed, very aggressive defender, very good offensively as well. Another who will be moving this summer as his contract expires in a year and his club want to make a big profit on him. Ton of potential.

Saman Ghoddos Ex Swedish international. Only 24 years old, chose us over sweden before WC. An excellent attacking mid, winger, striker. His dribbling and shooting are fantastic, would rate him actually higher than jahanbakhsh as well. Was motm vs Arsenal for his swedish team Ostersund in Europa League, also scored vs Atletic Bilbao, PAOK, Galatasaray, Hertha Berlin. Arsene wenger called him a marvellous player, the best on the pitch technically and tactically after the first match. In the second he assisted two at the Emirates and Ostersund claimed an unlikely 2-1 win. He will definitely be on the move this summer as well. Bordeaux, Leicester, Southampton, West Ham all rumored to be interested. Nearly moved to Celta Vigo in january.

Alireza Beiranvand


IF you payed attention to WC, his rags to riches story was one of the most interesting. Was homeless after leaving nomadic tribe at age of 14 to pursue football, saved Ronaldo's PK, and was all around fantastic. Got Guardian's highest average rating of 9. something over the 3 games. Supposedly turned down many offers, including Torino, Sassuolo, and Besiktas this summer, to help out his team which currently have a transfer ban, until winter when he will move. His physique is simply amazing for a GK, and his long throws can go the length of the field.

Majid Hosseini 22 year old CB, who was excellent for us in WC. Great on the ball, physical, calm. Close to transfer to Turkey, Trabzonspor (5th place team).

Besides these guys, Ali Gholizadeh who recently moved to belgium is an exciting winger, very technical, only 23. But the ones that take the cake are Younes Delfi and Allahyar Sayyad, both from our u17 team. They were amazing in u17 WC, smashing Germany 4-0 in the process. Delfi is a tall, technical, goal scoring winger who is close to a transfer to PSV. Allahyar just turned 17, and is physically the most developed player I have seen for his age. A really unique forward, tank like. Nearly signed with Galatasaray, but decided to stay in iran for a couple more years to work in a big club with German coach Shaeffer, who seems set on developing him into an even better player, before he is shipped out to europe.
