Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ Feyenoord Rotterdam | 2021-2022

[Roozbeh-G2006]

first of all you have no idea if he was fasting or not. He has been playing like garbage and getting benched long before month of ramadan.

Secondly, many of the worlds best players are/have been participating in ramadan with no ill effects. Ever heard of Salah, Mane? What about Benzema? All were fasting buddy, I know it might hurt your feelings but Ancelotti and Klopp apparently didnt tell them to "go kick rocks"

in fact here is an xi of just some top players who participated. Funnily enough nobody on this list is iranian...

Well said.

Will be an interesting Summer for him. I hope he bites the bullet early with this one and looks to move on.

The main thing he has against him just like in Brighton is his high Salary. If the reports are true, he make a million euros per year. That would make him the highest earner on Feyenoord if you don't count the loan players.

That's a salary that only the top three Dutch teams can afford, and based on his track record in the past few years, they will not risk it. Much more likely to spend that money on a younger prospect who they can sale later for a big fee. That goes for basically all European teams who could afford him (top Belgian, mid-table German and French, etc...). That more or less rules him being loaned out.

His options then would be a loan move to Qatar, S.A or UAE (if he wants to continue to make money), or asking for a transfer or mutual contract termination and taking much lower salary in a mid-table dutch/belgian, or relegation contenders in France, Germany, Italy or Championship.

Future is not looking good.

They are paying Nelson $57K a week whereas JB gets $13K so yeah they are going to play Nelson. The team did not go into the season thinking this is Ali Reza's spot.

Possibly, though salaries don't always translate to minutes. ARJ was the highest paid Brighton player for a while, even when he was riding the bench every match.

[Ahmad_DC]

For new newly signed players, it does. Brighton did play him that first year. There is no doubt that he worked his way out of the line up in that team based on poor performance. Bale and Hazard get paid in the $600k to $700K range at RM. Among those who play I believe Benzema is the highest paid at around $400K.

Lol if, like in Brighton, AJ didn't work his way out of the team based on repeated poor performances, Nelson would be warming the bench right now, as he was doing earlier in the season.

Look I am among the few who are supporting him and rating his play as not terrible. If you think that this team with a total payroll of $300K a week can afford to take a player on loan and pay him 20% of their weekly payroll to sit on the bench and watch a guy play who has scored a couple of goals and given a couple of assists along the way, then you obviously took a more let us say imaginative econ class than I.

Everyone supports him - he's a nice and humble guy and he's Iran's captain. No one here wants to see him in this state...

Yes, my poor choice of wording. Everyone supports him. I meant to say that I am not as critical of his confidence level, his diet, his religion, his training habits, his politics, his critical thinking abilities and so on. I take him for what he is, a guy with poor ball handling skills but a pretty decent player. He is on a team that is doing well and the coach is choosing to play a much younger player who has a salary 4 time higher. There is no reason to be angry with him or belittle him or be disappointed. And I agree that he needs to be playing if he wants to be on the world cup team.

He was our most in-form legionnaire at one time

I definitely understand the worries we have about ARJ not getting enough playing time etc.
At the same time, he's been one of the very best players for team mellli during the qualifiers.
I say we wait and see how he does during our next couple of friendlies. Hopefully he can keep up his great form for team mellli.

[Prowess]

It’s because people have pedestalized him since his stellar 2017-2018 season with AZ, have had higher expectations, and as a result, are bashing him with frustration.

Solution? Don’t pedestalize him. He’s a hard-working, highly professional, decent individual, team captain, and if it wasn’t for his contributions, there wouldn’t even be a WC to look forward to…

Magnifiying his mistakes, and minimizing his positives whenever he steps foot on the field for Feyenoord, doesn’t help anyone…I hope he gets back in club form (whether at feyenoord, or sonewhere else), but for TM he’s been great.

This is false

Taremi has 20 goals and 13 assists.

[taremiscores]

This is false

Taremi has 20 goals and 13 assists.

Bbc, flashscore, fotmob etc all have him on 12 assists. Only transfermarkt seems to have him on 13 assists
