Jami Rafati @ AS Livorno Calcio | 2014-2015

[khosro]

Why are we talking about this guy?

[greenguy4life]

It's a sensitive topic, Aram Khalili has been scoring goals but I agree it might be a bit too late for him. Still think he should be given a chance but it's highly unlikely if not impossible

[irani8perspolis]

Aram Khalili is almost 25 looked promising and played for Bodo Glimt a while, in the highest division of Norway. But since 2013 he plays one division lower at Byrne and it doesn't look like he will improve unfortunately so no TM material at all

I just remembered he is a refugee and fled from Iran back when he was young since he is a Kurdish-Iranian Christian, so he will and can't never-ever play for Iran.

That wont really matter at all unless his parents tried to assasinate khomeini, or khamenei or someone. The IR has actually released its grip considerably since rouhani came into power.

[Kiarash]

I don't think his lack of knowledge of Iranian culture will mean that he won't want to play for Iran. If we look at Davari, he doesn't even look Iranian yet he plays for the country of his father. Rafati, Radjabali-Fardi, Nazari brothers, Atashkadeh, Hasegawa and Manouchehri must be looked at as our dual nationality players. Also Daniel Norouzi and Aram Khalili still have something to prove.

... i heard he feels a real italian and a native from Florence. He speak Florence dialect, he usually eats italian food, he has italian friends.

Maybe he' acting as a Fifth Column (Sotooneh Panjom)!

I am born, raised up and lived in Genoa, Italy, all my life. I was really excited to see Genoa CFC took a young iranian player also because i have always been a "genoano", a Genoa CFC fan. But unfortunately he did not have playing time. Livorno is not a bad squad too. We had to remember that another iranian was playing in Livorno, Rahman Rezaei. I wish it can be Rafati's turn. But if you are interested, i heard he feels a real italian and a native from Florence. He speak Florence dialect, he usually eats italian food, he has italian friends. I don't know about his iranian habits, but i wish he feels himsef iranian too. But i have a feeling that if he turn into a real good player and Italy gives him a chance, he would choose Italy. However, Italy has Pirlo and Verratti in his role so no way he would be a starter in Italy National Team. In that case, wishing he'll choose Iran, we badly need a real playmaker.

Seems like he isn't familiar with Iranian culture which is a little bit strange IMO, since he was born to Iranian parents. Thanks for sharing this, we will follow him and see where he ends up.

Thanks! By any chance you might be living in Italy?
If so, you should really consider going to his games once he makes the bench / gets playing time.

The guy is not talking about Rafati; Were insterted few updates below the video which that guy has not mentioned. One simply says that "should be arrived a player from Genoa, Jami Rafati, born in 1994". That's it. I wish there will be more updates on his transfer which i'll translate.

So who can understand Italian and wants to translate? Looks like this YouTube guy is talking about new arrival Jami Rafati.

[Kiarash]

U misunderstood me. I know he can play better than I can and I am sure he has some talent (that's why he is a pro and I am not). I ment that we don't know if he is really stronger that the players inside of Iran and he does need to play a longer period so he can be TM material. I really hope that he is special and can help TM!

Well apparently the very same people said this guy has no business in Team Melli when I brought him up, it's funny how people change. But you're right, lets see how he does and hopefully he gets some match praxis at his club before judging if he is TM material or not.

[AllStarMomo]

He can play football. He featured in youth teams of West Ham and Fiorentina, got signed by Genoa and now Livorno...how are you convinced that he can't play football? Professionals who are busy with football 24/7 clearly see something in this guy and therefore scouted him.

[persian-eagle-13]

only CQ has the smarts and savvy to call him up to tm

[Kiarash]

If he transferred for free then it's not going to change his value.

Ah this explains why.
