Good. Great guy and produced one of our most memorable PL moments, but overall really underwhelming for what we paid, and he simply doesn't look cut out to be a PL player. Wish him a happy rest of his career if true...

Totally agree with this.
He hasn't quite got 'something' for this league, but he is clearly a top guy and has been an utter pro.
And that goal....
Best of luck Ali if this is true. We're all rooting for you.
Problem is gonna be the wages .... Feyernoord are broke ..... No incentive for handbags to move.

Supposedly he is on 40oddK. Surely top earners there earn that?

That’ll be a massive one to get off the wage bill

This. A huge plus to reduce our wage bill (to hopefully put towards another player).
Lovely guy. I think all of us wanted AJ to succeed, but it’s never quite happened. Rarely made an impact from the bench last season.
We can put Khadra or another u23 player in his place and he’d be as good if not better. All the best AJ.

Really ? This article (and i'm never sure how they know unless its based on their accounts) says their top earners are on 2m Euros a week.
Thats about £35K a week.

wow, has the exchange rate improved that much?
If true, might be a case of us underwriting the wages (by reducing the fee or making a contribution), so might not be the huge wage bill saving we'd all want.

This 100%. The guy deserves a more respectful thread title as a minimum, same as Maty Ryan did. Mods?

I suppose all of the Iranian contingent of fans, will turn their allegiances back to Dutch football again if this goes through.

Agreed.
Yet more evidence of pathetic xenophobia and borderline racism at worst, huge disrespect to a consummate professional at best. It’s the creeping undertow of unacceptable bantz which sits atop an iceberg, the very tip of a cultural cesspit.
And breathe…
Scored probably our best ever goal, at any level, and had a decent run towards the end of last season. I’ll be sad to see him go as he always looked to be about an inch of being very good at this level. However, if he can find his form in Holland once again, I wish him all the luck in the world.
Spot on Kosh. I've been willing him on to get that break but it's just never happened.
same can be said for a few others!

With 2 years left on his contract, the incentive might be to be playing first-team football every week while he still in his prime. If he hangs on for another 2 years he'll be just turning 30 and possibly not getting the same sort of opportunity.
Ali J certainly comes across as the sort of hard-working pro that enjoys his football and would rather play than sit on the bench for ££.
Well said.
Very few players have his attitude and work rate. I remember his face after than goal against Bournemouth, he was so elated and emotional.
Not quite the right fit for the Premier League but will probably start hitting 20+ goals in Holland again.
Best of luck to the lad.
Xenophobia wtf are you on about !!!
I like the guy. Just because I went with a nickname for the thread title that hardly makes me xenophobic.
Ridiculous. But I guess everything is offensive to someone these days .
