Saman Ghoddos @ Brentford FC | 2022-23

[DR Strangemoosh]

Is there something linking him to Leicester?

No it's just Malmo at the moment.

Ghoddos really wants to sign for them ,the fans want him, he can't imagine himself at another club - he just hasn't convinced Rydstrom.

I genuinely think if he doesnt sign for them then he won't want to play for another european club and will either make some money in qatar or possibly even be lured to Iran

[Nokhodi]

I think he should 100% go to Leicester.
The championship is a very very competitive league. Leicester has lost there best player in Maddison and Harvey Barney’s, their second best attacking midfielder is on his way out as well.

saman is good enough to play in the championship and could be a key player for Leicester who are favourites to get promoted back to the premier league…

Leicester were interested in him over 5 years ago

His stock has fallen a bit since then, unfortunately. This was when Wenger singled him out within Graham Potter's side as the star man.

I think Leicester in the championship would be a decent option, but I would not be surprised if he were initially a back-up, then it's up to him to push for a starting place.

I honestly don’t know how was on the team. His name is Adam Hemati. His grandfather is a famous actor (Saeed Raad).

He wasn’t a bad player but he was not comparable to the other Persepolis players. He was in Persepolis the season that the transfer window was completely closed.

Having said all that, I’ve met him in a social event and he’s a very polite and warm guy. Seemed like a good person.

thanks

This talk about Saman to PP reminds me of that Canadian/Iranian who went to PP and now left soccer to become a realtor. What was the story with this guy? I never knew much about him. What was his story

I really doubt he would want to live in Iran. Put yourself in his shoes. He’s grown up all his life in Europe, foreigner wife (I think), is no where close to fully fluent in Farsi. Would you all of a sudden move to Iran to play for Persepolis?? Also given his activism against the IR, I don’t think he really wants to live in such a system.

then wtf was dejagah. When he first came to TM his persian was worse than Saman... The guy could have easily played in Qatar more or other Persian gulf leagues, or just retired and went back to his restaurant businesses in Berlin. Still, he enjoyed Iran so much that even at age 37, battered and bruised the guy was lacing up for Foolad and playing quite well in last ACL. He wasnt even getting paid much at this stage.

Some people just enjoy competition, Iranian atmosphere, etc. IR is one of the crappiest systems of government to ever exist, but life in Iran still continues, contrary to what some say.

Having said that, I think Saman has a lot more to give in Europe with the right club. Way too early for him to come to Iran, Qatar, MLS, even sweden.

Our boys Zandi and Dejagah did it.

lol never, no way, people even thinking about it should occupy their spare time with other stuff.

Agreed on all fronts. Unfortunately I think his poor advisors and his own priorities will work against his football.

I say Persepolis, because in Persepolis he would at least get to play the type of football he likes, probably be a starter, get tons of exposure and force his way as a starter in to TM. He barely has any minutes in the past 3.5 years. He needs to go somewhere he can play.

Absolutely! Our team would have a great shot at winning the ACL….Ghoddos/Zahedi combo would do serious damage. Since bashar left we haven’t had that technical/creative attacking midfielder and saman would fill that role perfectly. Sadly though I don’t think he would ever play in PGPL

[Nokhodi]

At this stage in his career I rather him be in Persepolis vs Malmo (especially if those fools for whatever reason don’t want to guarantee him mins). That’s straight up disrespectful for a guy who played in the prem for a few seasons and dominated the allsvenskan earlier on.

also there has to be interest in England, there’s no way a championship team isn’t interested. He probably wanted malmo bc that’s his hometown and wants to be close to his family which I totally understand especially after now getting married. But I hope he’s smart enough to put that off for a couple more years to play at a higher level for a few more years before going into comfort mode….his career will vastly be heyf if he doesn’t make the right move IMO

I can imagine him going for a money move to Qatar and then PP, to end it all in Malmo.

Specially after Huesca financial chaos history, I wouldnt blaim him.
