Breaking news: Dejagah says yes! update: no AC

[Scooter]

next friendly is Iran vs Iran C then Iran vs Iran D followed by xyz

The Iran "y" team is finally being called into action? Sweet, FINALLY I get to play in Azadi. I just hope they allow walking canes onto the pitch.. and I must also remember to wear my Depends undergarments.

IFF sent the guy an email, and asked him to train with u21, if he was good he would be invited to TM. That time ashkan was killing the bundesliga with very nice football and quiet a few goals. good he said no. They should treat our players with more respect. At least they could call him and have a meeting in germany...

some people easily forget how recently he denied on multiple occasions to play for Iran. Im just waiting for the moment that he starts walking around on the pitch instead of giving it his all or becoming selfish instead of a team player. . .

I think that it's tough for these players who, for want of a better term have 'conflicted nationality'. Because they are given choices. And while i'm sure the heart plays a big role, they also can't help but look at the other factors such as coach, facilities etc..., now, for someone who is born in the country they identify with and live their until playing age, it's easy, they have no options. But you can't tell me that if someone said 'In Country A you'll get a lot of playing time and be adored by the fans, but the facilities are lackluster, the coaching situation isn't the best, and the government tends to interfere in football and the political situation is a bit tumultuous, and in country B, your pitch time will probably be more restricted, but you'll have a world class coach, top notch facilities and training staff and the full support of the government' that you would choose country A all the time, or that the thought of playing for country B wouldn't weigh on your mind. There are probably a number of factors that led to him choosing Germany initially, but it doesn't mean that he loves Iran any less that Germany.

i think he will play or iran because:
if he plays for germany he has got to play against israel and he will not because his family lieves in iran ... there ould be some problems!
this is a great fact to play for iran^^

How about this one does Askhan actually even play on the German national team? Last time I checked I didn't see any Iranian dudes on the German National team. I tink he is playing for their U23 team if I am not mistaken. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

#2 Forget about Israel for a second. If Askan picks Germany over Iran, he is going to be sitting on the bench and he might get a few minutes of playing time when Germany is up 5-0 against Latvia or Estonia.

He has a better chance of playing for Iran and making it on the starting line up than Germany, and he can really make an impact right away.

In 2007/2008 Mahdavikia also had highlights, maybe Daei too

I could care less about Dejagah anymore. Seriously, the past few years we've been in this spectacle about whether he will or will not play for TM. Everyone must realize that he's NO savior! He'd be a nice addition but won't solve all our problems concerning TM.

Anyone know where I can buy the new Legea Dejagha jersey ??
Please..! I'll give u all my gold..!

[Farhad-7]

^are you joking baba?
he doesn't have a number yet and hasn't been with TM yet

[CHaMiLLionaire]

cool. now what?

[Dreamer]

But right now, with the German national team being one of the best in the world, he must be crazy playing for the Iranian instead of the German team.

He isn't crazy, in fact, he is quite sane. The only reason he would do something like this is because he has realized that he can't make it into the senior German squad for the foreseeable future, and if he wants to play internationally, he has to do it with Iran. Since we have coaches who are so amazingly desperate like Ghotbi, it's his luck that he was invited. Anyone would have said yes...

Truth be told, I

i think he will play or iran because:
if he plays for germany he has got to play against israel and he will not because his family lieves in iran ... there ould be some problems!
this is a great fact to play for iran^^

Once again, I'm pretty sure he's realized he can't make it into the German squad. Plus, one of the U-20something sides once was going to play Israel (or maybe it was a club of his) and he said that he can't and won't go because if he does he thought that his family might get into trouble

[khodam]

How come this "news" is not on the PFDC headlines?

[persianfire]

Basically he is on a par with Shojaei considering his age and current situation at his club. He will be a good addition like Zandi but he isn't next Karimi, Daei, Mahdavikia or Hashemian.

I see the comparison you're marking, but Wolfsburg is a better club than Osasuna, heck they were champs of Germany. But I see the comparison in that Masoud was often times viewed as the 12th or 13th man in the Osasuna squad and that's the way Dejagah is viewed in his side. Dejagah is also 2 years younger, so it's more likely he'll develop further than it is Masoud. I don't think the comparison is unwarranted, just that there are somethings that might infer Dejagah is better. Also, Shojaei plays a position in which we have other solid options such as Madanchi, GR Rezaei, Mobali and Khalatbari whereas Dejagah brings a quality to our strikers that we haven't seen since Hashemian and Daei. Nothing against Gholami, Oladi or Ansarifard...but I think that Dejagah's body of work thus far outshines theirs.
