where did his nice actions get him lol? AZ didnt repay him for being a nice guy, they jacked up his price to something unreasonable like assholes (prevented napoli + 3! bundsliga moves, and real sociedad I think as well) and refused to sell him to another eridivisie club (he would have been Ajax record signing+wage earner, and would have been involved in insane run to semi final of CL, probably as a key player).Originally Posted by Farzadfarhangni
With that lovely repayment he was forced to accept this garbage brighton move which since then destroyed his career, made him a non factor for TM, and messed up his fitness so bad he cant complete 2 90 mins in a row and has to keep saying how thankful he is to have offers from Feyenoord and AZ (level of team sadegh's dinamo is easily beating on regular basis).
I personally am not even sure if this Zorya thing is true. I kind of doubt he would make a decision right now with still 6 months to go for him to continue performing and for some of the clear interest from bigger teams (dynamo, shakhtar, ferencvaros, russian teams, valladolid) to materialize into official offers. Also Zorya are not a financially well off team at all to give him a big salary. I think more likely he started contacts with them about joining as free agent and that pissed off Olympik who want to ideally sell this january.
Make no mistake, this being a nice guy and professional etc is important when you are working actively in any job, in your day to day interactions with the staff+players+media, etc. But when it coms to contractual business and your future, you cannot afford to pussyfoot around.
We are going in circles a bit here. I was not aware of the Ajax move, and I don't think you and I know the details of whatever that interest was. Salaries/years/etc... However, AZ could not force ARJ to accept Brighton's offer. He had a contract with AZ and he could just finish that contract. Anything outside of that contract, both ARJ and AZ have to agree to tear the old contract and enter into new deals with new teams. Can't be unilateral. In any case, I think it is well known that ARJ wanted to play in the premier league and it sort of checked this off on his career wish list...
Ok well there were multiple interviews, including one with our very own Salar on PFDC where he confirmed those interests and why none went through (and that his actual preference was ajax or bundesliga). They do exist and you can find them. These are not rumors or random speculations.
He felt it was time to move after his record season, he still had multiple years left on his contract so he couldnt realistically just wait it out, and they already limited him in clubs he could go to (blocking ajax) and asked for a fee bundesliga teams + Napoli and others simply could not afford/refused to meet.
My point is, this is the reality you are dealing with as a pro player. Being the nice guy in contractual negotiations gets you nowhere, hence why pretty much all big players and even lesser players who keep getting good chances at big clubs have asshole agents. So being professional, definitely, making sure what you are doing is legal, 100%, but kissing ass of olympik donetsk bc they brought you from iceland to ukraine is not necessary.
And with regards to ARJ, he is doing this nice guy thing in his contractual business again with brighton, and it has resulted in him being perpetually injured, lose his guaranteed xi spot in TM, waste more of his prime years of football mainly on a bench (although at least in this case he is sucking the club dry with his salary which given his actual output is a terrible financial return for brighton)
But he has every right to look for another club. as said he is just guaranteeing himself another job at a place he would rather be at. If he was publicly coming out halfway though his contract and saying that he wanted to play at another club then that’s another story but noting he is doing is wrong. Donetsk have acted unprofessionally in my opinion
Shahab ZAHEDI: "I want to help Olympic earn money"
Which team will play the Iranian forward - the cards have not yet been revealed
Iranian striker Shahab Zahedi leaves Donetsk "Olympic" and moves to another club. But in which team he will play - the cards have not yet been revealed.
The forward himself in an interview with "Football Format" journalist Oleg Yashchuk said:
"I want to help all the clubs where I have played or will play. It is in this situation that I am trying to help Olympic make money. They helped me for 1.5 years, so I also want to help them. "
According to the journalist, earlier the Iranian refused two clubs from the top 8 European championships.

Dude, lets stop this. We have no idea what is going on as we both have mentioned in our posts. We still don't know. I never called him an idiot!!!! I still think that IF you go and negotiate and sign a new contract with a team in the same league when you have six months left on your contract and you will have to play against your new team in the next six month and you completely left your existing team in the dark, without giving them a chance to counter, it is unprofessional and, at least, against your own interest. You have six more months to play for this team, how did you think it is going to be? They praise you and send you off with a big good-bye party?
Again, we don't know what has transpired. If what I described above happened, than I would call it unprofessional. But you know soccer etiquette much better than me. Have it your way.
these sorts of transfer and contract negotiations go on ALL THE TIME everywhere with every player for that matter..!! however its most often in kept in the backgrounds and out of the media and public eyes, between the player's agent and the club's front office ..!! when shitt hits the fan and fans like us become privy these happenings is when Negotiations between the parties explained above has hit a serious snag and each side go into the media trying to portray the other side as the greedy and unprofessional ..!!
