I remember at the time Khatibi was no where near TM's first squad after an awful selection of misses in the U23 line ups. Both his 1999 signing at HSV and his unexpected recall from Branko in 2006 were completely out of left field.
That time in 1999 we were getting so many players signed by Bundesliga teams. Yazdani got signed by Leverkusen but after an injury only really played for Leverkusen II. At least Pashazadeh got 14 games for Leverkusen.
Mousavi got picked up by Fortuna Koln with a view to playing for Leverkusen too - but again only turned out for Leverkusen II despite doing well to get a half-dozen of goals for Fortuna Koln
None of the forwards mentioned above really compare with the talent we have these days. Pashazadeh was pretty good though, again until he had an injury and lost h=is pace.
