I think the players they were refering to were more the offensive players because defensive players in Iran are not as weak as you're making out. And my point was an opinion that regardless of where, Enayati holds the ball up slightly better even in matches for TM. If I had to pick one, I would pick Hashemian every single time, but as his replacement, if the system has a target man and that's what players are used to, Enayati is currently the best player we have.
So what.
As I said before, Fowler scored 100 goals in his first 133 EPL games. Its an incredible achievment but he was upstaged by almost every one in the English team.
Andy Cole!!!
Look at Van Nistelroy and Holland, I can give you many other examples.
No one is saying he cant score in IPL or Esteghlal..........
how are u so sure? is that also been reported by the chinese news agency? 
. you dont seem to have got the point of my post. i suggest you go and read it again

Damn those Chinese, if you cant trust them, then who can you trust...........
But ok, scoring against English youth teams dont mean shit. I am almsot tempted to say that about the senior team as well
i dont know man. he sounds so sure it was the U-23 team!
even if he means U-21, i dont remember any recent U-21 games against france that theo has played in! there was a game against france maybe around a year ago, but i dont think theo was around at the time. thats why im asking for more details about this game! do you mean holland by any chance?

Ali jan, you're right about the results and France. And indeed, England do not have an Under 23 team: http://www.thefa.com/England/U21s/FixturesAndResults/
It's not important though, what's important is that before it's too late, someone asks Theo Walcott to play for TM. He hasn't said no yet because no one has asked. And in terms of technicalities, he's still eligible because he's only played in friendlies.

Dude you don't get it. Do you really think someone like Enayati, if he got the chance in the Bundesliga wouldn't even do slightly well? I assure you he would. But because he hasn't had the opportunity your comparison is flawed. You assume that, okay Dejagah scored 2 Bundesliga goals therefore that outweighs everything Enayati has done and it doesn't - not by a long stretch.
But when does this comparison stop? If Dejagah gets picked and he doesn't light TM up, who are you going to blame? "Oh these IPL players don't know how to play real ball and that's making Dejagah look bad". Ok dude, we get it, you like the guy.
And it IS cut and dry. He actually ANNOUNCED OFFICIALLY that he is no longer interested in Iran and is concentrating on Germany. If he still gave TM any credence he would have just kept it to himself. So you can stop badgering everybody and trying to convince that he secretly wants to be in TM, because even if he did, this was not the way to do it. Unless Dejagah turns around and declares interest in playing for Iran again, I couldn't care less what happens to him - but I wish him luck. So don't expect me to down any of our own just because they happened to play in Iran.

You said this before and again, Owen and Shearer were ahead in the pecking order - even Cole at his prime wasn't preferred over those two - with good reason too (they're both in the top 5 scorers for England for all time).
Where are these other strikers that are ahead of Enayati? (psst, they don't exist).
