[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[WATFORD zero]

Gone.

We shall never know whether he was THE MAN.

Well change the title of the thread then. Or are you still basking in the glory of seeing the Chinese off single handed yesterday

 

[Bald Gull]

Best of luck to him. Didn’t work out with us but, unlike Locadia, I think there is a decent footballer in there and can see him doing well elsewhere - really hope he does as is clearly a model professional and a really good guy.

 

[brighton_tom]

Just never worked out. Better to cut our losses and give the minutes to someone like Khadra.

Future candidate for the Flair awards, did nothing but score a worldie

 

[TottonSeagull]

Will go down as one of our biggest waste of monies! Hope he does well in the Dutch league but was never worth his transfer fee or wages! Good to see the club moving on the dead wood!

And one that those of us who were fortunate enough to be at the Amex that New Year's Day will never ever forget

 

[portslade seagull]

Weird, never really given a run in the team so was doomed to fail. Wish him the best with Feyenoord

I was hoping we’d be shipping you out before the start of season.

I think there's a really excellent player there. Just too anonymous a lot of the time. However, some of his passing was perceptive and showed class. That overhead kick was my favourite goal at the Amex along with Skalak's amazing half-volley and Andone's incredible run and goal against palace. I really hope he hits form in Holland as I think he's a top bloke.

Our squad consisted of 14/15 players that Potter wanted to keep plus a similar number of players who were welcome to move on if an offer came in. AJ was always in that second group but had plenty of substitute appearences so must be capable and show a good account of himself in training

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Great guy, occasional glimpses of his ability. Good luck to him....good move all round. Really want him to succeed.

 

[amexer]

Not a criticism as you cant pick everyone but I am one of few on here that given more games on trot out wide think he would have made it. Have no doubt he will do well in Holland.

 

[el punal]

FFS!! I had Ali J as my man to succeed this coming season, so that’s totally buggered up my prediction. Mind you, I had the same opinion for Elvis Manu.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Potter's generic comments:

"very good professional and great to work with, but this move is a good one".

In other words a good lad who didn't moan about bench warming (too much) but was ultimately never going to be good enough to be a first team regular. As I've been saying for two or three years.

A lot of us have. However, just wanted him to prove me wrong as such a decent character…. Disappointed he wasn’t quite good enough.

Very solid pro, absolutely wish him the best of luck.

So how much did we have to pay Feyenoord to take him??





*Edit*

I'm kidding! There's definitely a good player in there just not the type we needed or could use. Some of his passes and touches were superb.

Always had high hopes of AliJ - shame it didn't work out. There's a first class footballer in there. Hope it goes well for him

 

[durrington gull]

Is it down to the recruitment department, and I understand the guilty parties are long gone, that said the only positive has to be that the Albion learn from their mistakes and don't end up spunking £50million plus again in the Low Countries.

Agree - Dutch/Belgian league’s championship standard at best
