[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[Seasidesage]

AJ doesn't have the physique or the consistency to play at this level for me but he's no Locadia he's a much better player and indeed professional

Or the pace or first touch. It is genuinely baffling how anyone saw him play and thought "yeah, he'll thrive in the PL". At least with Locadia we all knew he was about 15th choice and a last minute punt. We scouted Ali for years.

Ryan has been good for the club but one the wall was taken down (dunk & duffy) he became too exposed.

Ali J - I still don't get why he was dropped after scoring against Chelsea & Bournemouth - would he have kicked on from there. Stop starting has not been good for him.

Balogun - had mistakes in him but to be fair so did Webster last year and White this year. Only given 8 games - so possibly unfair to just as a failure. Did score that goal as well.

Proper is a conundrum , certainly good value overall but not scoring and risky at the back ....

Spot on Wardy, ...oh, and donation to Royal Marsden done . Best wishes.

Not really. He scores spectacular goals. He has good technical ability. He is a decent player.

He could be good enough for the Premier League in the right system, maybe not. Difficult to say. I reckon he'd be one of the best in The Championship though, without a doubt.

Either way, it is easy to understand why we took a punt on him.

I respectfully but entirely disagree. I also think he'd struggle in the Championship. I think he'd be better suited to a slower, less physical league.

Beg to differ. Did brilliantly in the Carabao Cup against Preston.

Preston reserves you mean? More like lower League 1 or League 2 level. What a brilliant player. Worth every penny.

Think it was very poor of us to spend that kind of money on him or a ‘punt’ as you say. Agree he’s good technically but we need/needed someone with an attribute that could create or score a goal e.g pace, power or trickery going past people. AJ hasn’t got any of these and could do fine in a stronger PL but what the **** were our recruitment team doing?? Look at the impact Izquierdo or Lamptey made for us. They had one of these attributes.

Lot of poor players, look technically good when they have time and space.

You don’t have that luxury in the PL, and any weaknesses or lack of pace are quickly found out....

Those weaknesses were exposed in the World Cup just before we signed him.

I watched him closely in that tournament as I heard we were signing him and I was amazed we went through with the deal. Unless we were already committed?

I think he needs a loan spell and somewhere he will play 20+ regular games. Then make a decision

If he does well out on loan then we cash in and get some money back for him- he's never gonna be Prem level

IF he went to a Champ team and got 5/10 assists and 5/10 goals then by the summer he is worth £20 million. And we make our money back.

Doesn't want to go to Champ apparently - deluded

Quite.

£20M? Equally deluded!

If we get 10m id be shocked
