Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ N.E.C. Nijmegen | 2014-2015

No Iranian defenders other than Beita in FUT though.

The only real team you could possibly build over the last few years:

------------Haghighi-----------
Beitashour
-----------Nekounam----------
Dejagah-Shojaei-Jahanbakhsh
--Azmoun-Ghoochannejhad---

If Pouraligangi goes to a team that's in FUT, or they add the Qatar league, I will make this team.

Tafazolli, CB is also in FIFA this year (if you consider him Iranian)

And Rafati from Livorno can play as DM together with Nekounam in FUT

What a strange way of looking at things.

It would be like me claiming we're a far bigger club than them because we have more followers on Twitter.

I just checked, roughly 200k more followers, infact. But then again, the reason that massive influx of fans on twitter doesn't translate into forums activity could be what I mentioned earlier, vis a vis passion. Brighton fans have already come up with songs to sing for Jahanbakhsh, Norwich fans still don't know what's going on.

NEC CEO Bart van Ingen on twitter:
Tweet 1: There is interest in Alireza, but also in other players. We will carefully consider all options.
Tweet 2: As already said multiple times, we are willing to sell players, if it enables us to reinvest in the team.

At least, this makes the Brighton move sound less likely than 50/50. It's just an option, but it's not as if NEC has already accepted everything.

[Gijscoman]

And I don't know if this has already been posted, but Hashemi has told Omroep Gelderland that New York City FC is also interested in Alireza.

So these are the clubs that are said to be interested:
Brighton Hove & Albion
Norwich City
Celtic
Spartak Moscow (but Hashemi said that this probably wouldn't be interesting for Alireza)
New York City
AZ
PSV
Anderlecht

moving to MLS is like moving to Persian Gulf leagues. even worse than Brighton.

I wish some of our aged superstars like Karimi or Nekounam had done 1 or 2 years in MLS. I think they would have made a lot of money for their teams in very Iranian markets like LA. Karimi on LA Galaxy I would go to every game!

[Gijscoman]

And now Hashemi has told De Gelderlander that NEC wants to hurry with selling Jahanbakhsh, but that Jahanbakhsh and want to consider all the options patiently. He also says that Jahanbakhsh prefers staying in the Netherlands, but that Brighton has impressive facilities and is therefore an option.

So both sides (NEC and Jahanbakhsh) claiming that they want to consider other options and that they therefore not want to hurry.

I guess that Hashemi is just trying to warm up other clubs and make them nervous. I don't see the Brighton move happening.

Damn, I didn't know you were another one of our Iroonie LA members

But the thing is, I don't think those teams have shown interest to our players.

Yeah dude, for some reason, I thought you were in Europe lol. I remember hearing back in the day that AK8 had an offer from Galaxy. It was probably just a bs Iranian rumor, but I know for a fact that I read it on PFDC in either 2011 or 2012. That would have been amazing for me!

"I guess that Hashemi is just trying to warm up other clubs and make them nervous. I don't see the Brighton move happening. "

Agreed. Jahanbakhsh has personal ambitions; It would be unlikely for him to leave NEC now in top Dutch division to transfer to a team that struggled in Championship league last year.

If Karimi had played for Galaxy, it would have move to LA too.
