Azmoun & Ezatolahi @ FC Rostov | 2015-2016

[Taz]

Yep, an opportunity at a Europa League side is about as good as it can get for him but I'd still want to see him be a real 100% starter next season so if he has to leave Rostov to achieve that, so be it.

[Afat11]

it is so pleasant to watch him grow and mature before our eyes!! mind you to say he is only 20!!
you can tell by his body language that he is becoming a professional game by game more so then many of the jokers in IPL

From watching navad, it seems that it is not our players' lack of quality. It's just that anytime they have a chance to go to Europe at a young age and actually learn how to be a professional footballer, they get stuck in the IPL by the motherf****ers running these teams. The Mohammadi brothers SHOULD be in Europe right now. Ali Hazami had interest. Hajsafi should have been in Europe years before. The problem is that our teams are backwards in their signing. They sign established mid-20 year old players to 1 year contracts and these guys bounce around every year and the league is so unstable. Top teams fall and rise every other year. All the while, the players they should sign on short term deals, like how any decently run Euro club does, is the YOUNG players. For some reason they get our young players stuck in their clubs and don't give them proper playing time, while not signing the actual established players to longer deals. IPL is a reflection of Iran's political structure as a whole. They do everything backwards, because the majority of the people running it have no brain. Sign the Mohammadi brothers to 1 year deal every year until they either leave to Europe or are established and should be signed for 4 years. That's common sense. Why hold our young players hostage? I think it's a covert plan by clubs to try and keep our quality players in Iran. Anyone with any sign of potential gets signed to a 5 year deal. Thus, they don't get taken to Europe, and will stay supporting these poor IPL teams for the long-haul.

Azmoun & Ezatolahi @ FC Rostov | 2015-16

He's on loan to Rostov just for this season unfortunately, he has a contract with Rubin until 2017 if Im not mistaking so except if Rostov offers Sardar a contract at the end of his lean (kinda unlikely even if he performs well) he will play with Rubin next season.

[EKBATAN]

whats up with saeed? how come hes not playing?

Why is that?

Paperwork issues, he can not play until the Winter transfer season starts.

[BacheLot]

seems like Azmoun is and has been more effective brought in off the bench ..!
his 90min durability and full-fitness seems to be his only weakness..! when he comes off the bench early in 2nd halves to run @ opponent's tired legs, his quality and impact is clearly more evident..!

[Tehranto]

Is this Sardar's 2nd or 3rd goal this season?

[ShiroKhorshid]

His 2nd. This was his 10th goal in his 47th appereance in Russian Premier League, which is an average of 0,21 goals every match. Considering hes only 20 and his playing time (minutes), this is quite good.

seems to be 2nd: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sarda...spieler/180337
And God, does this kid really have contract with Rubin till 2017?!?!

Just a bit more data on this:

League Stats:
4 seasons, 22 starts, 21 sub appearances, 2236 minutes, 10 goals, 223.6 minutes per goal.

League and Cup stats combined:
4 seasons, 22 starts, 27 sub appearances, 2418 minutes, 13 goals, 186 minutes per goal.

Hulk averages about 150 mins per goal, Doumbia about 100 whilst Azmoun has a superior rate than the likes of Musa and Dzyuba. It's a very impressive scoring rate.

I think they turned in his Visa documents too late so he has to wait til 2016 to play. So frustrating, he should be grinding it out at Atletico Madrid, but instead he chose to have slumber parties with Sardar at Rostov.

He does still train with the first team of Rostov. It is debatable what is better, playing weekly on a B Team in a low league, or training with a Russian League team that is currently in excellent form. It is debatable, but good players have been the product of both systems. Some players grind away in B Teams and end up developing, and some players ride the bench of a first squad for a while and develop. I think it's rarer for a top-flight club team to have the belief in a player to put them in the first team at such a young age.

I'd take going through Atletico Madrid's youth setup over Rostov any day. Ezatolahi simply made the wrong choice. He should've stayed with Madrid and ideally go out on loan if he wanted to.

Azmoun's case is different. He's getting more playing time, but he could've joined Arsenal or another top team and then went out on loan. Fortunately, Rostov's at least doing well this season.

Wrong choices left and right from these players. I wonder who their agents are.
