Saman Ghoddos @ Brentford FC | 2021-22

[taremiscores]

Don’t think he was on bench today.

Will be competition for Saman if Thomas Frank still insists on using him as a LWB for the upcoming season.

Hickey is being brought in as a RB/RWB, per their teaser tweet for his signing earlier today.

... but yes, if Henry gets injured during the season, whenever Brentford play a 5 at the back, Saman is less likely to be slotted in at LWB as Hickey will swap flanks and Roerslev will start on the right.

5 Friendly games before brentford starts their new season. 4 friendly are very very juicy, so hopefully saman can get some decent playing time in those games.
Stuttgart and Real betis looking very juicy for saman..... if he plays.

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic here but I feel like he has to get a lot of playing time in pre season. Coaches usually want to give their guys who are borderline starters or borderline match day squad reserves the most chances to prove themselves and he fits into both categories depending on the week really. We’ll find out soon!

Saman gave an interview to swedish press. He ended his vacation a couple weeks early and is currently continuing training with Brentford teammate Pontus Jansson at Malmo (currently middle of their season) to stay in shape before preseason starts with brentford, a great choice on his part :

<<The former MFF defender Pontus Jansson appeared on the Stadium area's training plans last week, and a few days later was joined by his Brentford friend Saman Ghoddos. Like Jansson, he has a holiday for a couple of more weeks, but unlike him, Ghoddos has only belonged to smaller clubs in Malmö.

After today's training, Ghoddos gives away his football shoes to two boys before Fotbollskanalen gets a chat with the 28-year-old.

- I found out that "Ponne" would train and keep going a bit here, so I also asked if it was okay. It was a bit of a gray area, because I have never belonged to Malmö, but of course I have been a supporter since I was little. I have good contact with Daniel (Andersson, sports director) and Andreas (Georgson, sports director) and they did me a favor. So I want to keep going here a bit and try to give a service back to the players, try to help them with my experience and what I got abroad, says Saman Ghoddos.

Can you imagine playing in MFF in the future?

- Yes of course. It's been a dream since I was little. But right now it's not really relevant, because I feel like I'm in the Premier League right now. I even feel like I should play even more than I did. So I feel like I'm still a little bit in it, a few more years, then we'll see what happens.

The offensive midfielder played in 17 Premier League games last season but acted as a substitute in almost all of them. The meager playing time meant that MFF 98 and Hammarby in January contacted Brentford about a loan, but got the nob, writes Aftonbladet

- I do not even think it was relevant, there was nothing on the table. Now that I think about it, I still would not have done it. Because I want to be in the Premier League, I think I deserve to play there. So no, that was not the case in January, says Ghoddos.

He has previously played for LB07, Trelleborgs FF, Syrianska, Östersund and French Amiens.>>

Seems like Saman wont be returning to sweden any time soon, good because he has shown he can cut it at a much higher level. Still think depending on how transfers shake out he can get more mins at brentford next season, he certainly left an overall positive impression by the end. Fitness was really his main concern and the emergence of eriksen. His fitness issues are clearly solved so that at least removes one big obstacle.

The athletic analyzed contract situation of Brentford players this summer and had this to say about saman:

Saman Ghoddos (contract expires 2023)

Despite often not playing in his preferred position, Ghoddos has been a very useful option off the bench. The Iran international had a match-winning cameo against Watford in December when he came on at left wing-back and won a stoppage-time penalty Mbeumo converted. He could be sold if a decent offer comes in.

[inarsenewetrust]

Probably easiest and best way to stay in shape during off season is practicing/playing with a professional team in the middle of their season. Great to see Saman doing that.

Still think Malmo will be a backup option for him if he cant secure more playing time at brentford/move to top 5 league team.

[Keshwardoost]

Malmö FF's injury crisis reached new levels when the team was overtaken by Djurgården.

Sporting director Andreas Georgson now says that a major analysis will be done after the spring season to evaluate the training setup.

"I'm frustrated that the timing has been so unfortunate," he said.

id say its not a good option for Ghoddos, to come to this club.. and risk a injury due to club practise wrongly after coaching change.
would be better to go any where else a world cup year.


surprised thought that they havnt went for ezzatollahi, who made team of the year in a better league, the danish one, and would be a bargain buy for them since he is on free transfer as vejle got relegated..

[Keshwardoost]

In less than a week and a half, Malmö FF will play the cup final against Hammarby. But the question is which players are available, when almost an entire starting eleven is on the absence list.

"Something we've done wrong, now we have to think about what so we can do better," coach Milos Milojevic said.

if he gets even regular rotation mins in leadup to WC that is enough for him. Starting for TM and moving as a free agent after WC could potentially give him a ton of better options than what he could get now

well for time being Bold seem improbable.... !!? or a bit of a stretch..!?
so a loan out to Malmo seems a far more savvy safe move..? more than anything, he needs regular 1st team action to gain game sharpness and his confidence back ... then he is far more likely to become a undisputed WC starter for us and hopefully make a splash in Nov. to make way for his next decent transfer..!!
