[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[vagabond]

Solly is a good player for the team, a very good utility player even.

But AJ is a match winner. That’s the difference and why I think he’s worth keeping.

Back in June.

 

[vagabond]

Surprised at some of the reactions here.

I for one would be very disappointed to see AJ leave. It feels like he turned a corner with us with his goal against Bournemouth and a world class goal vs Chelsea. His reward for an exciting bit of form was to then be dropped from the squad.

And since the break he’s also not featured, as someone above mentioned you have to think this must be due to a non football reason, ie Corona or Balloongate.

In any case AJ has delivered this season when called upon. Would be bizarre to cut losses now.

Eg, who would you rather bring on from the bench, AJ or Solly?

Another back in June. Interesting.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh relishes chance to impress new boss

https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/17769904.alireza-jahanbakhsh-relishes-chance-impress-new-boss/?ref=

Quotes from Potter:-
“The key probably with Alireza is to get him as close to goal as possible. That’s probably where they used him in Holland and therefore you get the goals and assists.

“We have got a lot of forward players. We are just trying to find out where best to play. He ended up on the right as well, so with the personnel on the pitch there was quite a bit of fluidity amongst them.

“Sometimes that’s positive, sometimes it’s not, it depends how you look at it, but it was nice for him to get a couple of assists.”

It's been annoying me so I found it.
Seems rather relevant to Mr Potter's comments.

Utter utter shite. Get rid.!

Jahanbaksh? JahanaTRASH seems a better name. Flipping useless.

Based on today (and most of the second half of last season) the sooner he goes, the better. I'll fly the useless sack of shit back to Tehran myself.

Lol

Has this really turned into an I love Alireza more than you competion?!

Very good goal tonight but apart from that I didn’t think he was brilliant. Not at the same level as last week and not as good as Sanders, Gross or Mac Allister tonight.

He clearly has a wonderful right foot, great technique and I do go back and forth in my opinion of him but I’m still not convinced he will ever become a regular in the Premier League for us. He still looks a bit lightweight at times and I don’t think premier league defenders will give him the time and space on the ball he needs.

I would love him to prove me wrong as he is a great guy and pro but I’m not convinced.

Sadly after all of this, that is still a definite possibility.

At least now it's not a nailed on FACT.

Just scouring the thread for evidence of my unswerving Ali J support and....yeah, crikey, that [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] don't half go on a bit

I think you'll find that should say:-

Poor sweet lil statles was constantly quoted and provoked by lots of the big boys all jealous of Ali and Stats glorious hair.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Lol

Very pleased for the lad. When he does that against Liverpool and Spurs you can feed every one of my quotes on this thread back to me with cream on top and I'll still be happy.

But right now he's shone against Portsmouth and Preston Reserves.

Certainly not my intention. It’s more that someone declaring themselves a gatekeeper, the sole bastion of defence of a player. “Ha. See, I told you I was right about him, I was the only one, now here come along all the Johnny come latlies”.

Whilst in the minority, there were a number of folk positive about Ali J as a player and believed there was still huge potential. I was criticised for saying as much. I quoted my own, but I could have quoted others.

... And whilst your quote is humorous you are entirely right, he hasn’t completely proved his doubters wrong yet. So now is not the time to crow anyway!

He's done it against Chelsea.

Very good point, both camps, whether 'he's the bomb' or 'he's not a footballer' should be in flux, like a flux capacitor with 1.21 gigawatts going through it...

The way this season is shaping up Solly's gonna bang in a couple on Saturday.

At least I'll be able to climb onto that bus and proudly announce to everyone:-

"I been here all along".

 

[Berty23]

He scored great goals. He might score more goals but one thing I don’t think anyone would disagree with is that he seems such a nice bloke. Everything about him seems classy. I wish more were like him. And he speaks better English than the England captain.

 

[Bozza]

He's done it against Chelsea.

He can do it against Chelsea, but can he do it on a cold autumnal Wednesday evening in Preston?

I've missed so many bandwagons in my life, I'm not going to stop now!

I want you back - Jahan 5

Oh Ali, you only need 1 chance
To show you should be in the team
Oh darlin', I was blind to leave you out
(Leave you out, Ali)
But now since I've seen you it is on
(JAHANBAKHSH )
Oh I do now
(JAHANBAKHSH)
Ooh ooh baby
(JAHANBAKHSH )
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(JAHANBAKHSH)
Na na na na

Quick, everyone running this way, follow me!!

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

I doubt if he will ever be a PL regular but he has been creating a lot of interest and providing entertainment under GP. Fantastic quality goals.

Lol

When those comments were posted he was playing atrociously. He’s obviously turned it around but the subsequent lack of game time backs up those comments. If he was great he’d have been playing and banging goals in but he wasn’t.
