[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[Icy Gull]

I will gladly be that Smartass

I’ll be here bouncing this thread too

I back my judgement over 40 odd years, not always right by any means but I can see plenty of potential in AJ. Game time, confidence and a run in a team that wants to attack. If he can’t thrive in that environment I’ll join in writing him off along with those who have only seen him in the most negative team in living memory. Yet can write him off as shitehouse. We’ll see who gets bounced.

And to stick my neck 100% on the line, the same applies to Locadia

Completely agree. It's very easy to label a player as Shitehouse while coming off a World Cup with injuries and Midseason international duty.

Playing in a team who play like their heads will explode if they cross the half way line

This.

Potter has been brought in to make these players tick. I am confident he will.

Quite.

Don’t think either Ali J or Locadia were used to playing in their own half in Holland.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Locadia as a number 9, Jahanbakhsh as the right winger, successful Brighton team. I will be happy to quote anybody who disagrees.

Surely they were brought as defenders for CH.

If we are relying on AJ and Locardia we will be going down. Unfortunately both are utter shithouse!

Nah

Big Jurg inside left.
And one up top.
Ali inside left.

Bernie Inn the wing back role
Probably another on t'other side.

And we'll be plotting our first European campaign in 12 months time.

I will quite happily...






...deny all knowledge of this post, next season, if anyone disagrees.

Feyenoord after Ali J apparently. Don't know if they can afford his wages though.

 

[Stat Brother]

I can hear the engines revving, already.

 

[Weststander]

Andone, Jahanbakhsh, Propper, Gross and Locadia (and Montoya defensively) will get their chance under a coach with a different approach to consistently perform at PL level. They’ll be measured by goals, assists and creating big chances.

Under the law of averages, some will cut it, some others will be on their way out this time next year.

Interesting times ahead.

I reckon Potter will want to see him in training before any decisions are made

He needs to because if he relies on the videos...

True. It seems like he was great in training but couldn't carry it over to the games so...

He looked very good against Huddersfield at home, one of our best performers. I suspect he’d been given the same license to attack that he’d had when playing in Holland.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Get rid while his stock in Holland is still high. Another season like the last and the price goes down by £6-£7 mill.

A season like his last one in Holland and he's a £100m footballer!

 

[TottonSeagull]

The bloke is utter toilet. Will never be a Premier League player.

We'll pay half - sort of long-term loan deal.
