Esteghlal players evaluation was totally wrong this season. Even from players who are still with the team, Shojaeian, Shahbazadeh, Ghorbani, Beitsaeid(who choked in a big club) are all overrated tbh. Heydari is done, he wasn't a fast winger/right back and now at 34 he is pretty much finished.
Esteghlal should keep Ebrahimi, Cheshmi(as DM not CD), the keeper Hosseini, Majid Hosseini, Farshid Esmail and Mohsen Karimi(when he is injury free) and build the club around them, the rest are useless honestly. They have 3 or 4 forwards but none are good at this point for 2/3 of IPL teams.
