Name 10 young players that are TM material!
We do have few likes of khazbavi or the Sepahan kid, but our clubs, except Sepahan and folad, have failed to produce quality players.
I agree that we need new blood and is time for at least 8-10 to be set aside, but will be paying the price not paying attention to youth development and our U23
I feel like Hajsafi, Khalilzadeh, Rezaian and Ansarifard should be given a retirement match. i would include Ebrahimi but he already announced his retirement from TM.
Keeper: I don't really see a young one on the rise. Assuming we go with 3 keepers the starter should be Niazmand (28). The backups should be from amongst Beiranvand (31), Hosseini (31) and Abedzadeh (30). I think Beiranvand has been too shaky as of late to keep his spot and probably needs a jolt for him to raise his game.
Right back: For now Moharrami (27) has a lock on the position. Yousefi (21) is young and could be blooded in for a backup and future starter.
Center back: Kananizadegan (29) and Hosseini (27) have the experience and aren't too old yet. Fallah (22) and Hazbavi (20) should be given time to acclimate to the team.
Left back: For now it's Mohammadi's (30) position. I feel like Jalali (22) and Reyvandi (19) should duke it out for a backup but I'm giving a slight edge to Reyvandi.
Defensive mid: It's Ezzatollahi's (27) position to lose. Pichkah (23) is a backup that might even take over sooner than later. If all else fails there is still Cheshmi (30).
Right mid/winger: Jahanbakhsh (30) has the experience and armband. Gholizadeh (27) is just as good. Further down the line is Torabi (29).
Left mid/winger: Mohebbi (25) and Ghaedi (25) are there for now. I would like to see Sayyadmanesh (22) tested there (I'd say or the opposite side but it's aready too crowded with more established players there).
Attacking mid: Ghoddoos (30) has been doing fine. Karimi (30) is an emergency backup. Mehri (26) is also a possibility.
Forwards:Azmoun (29) will probably keep his spot till the World Cup. I'm not sure about Taremi (31) due to his age and sometimes drop in form. I feel like he needs to be given the same treatment as Beiranvand as opposed to the fixed superstar position. Eckert (27) and Zahiroleslam (21) should be invited and tested.
We should also cap tie Gharebaghi (19) while he's hot. Moghanlou (29) also should get a few more games to be compared to the rest if ony because there should be some reward for becoming the top scorer.
