If you have watched him in A-League , would you tell us about his style of play and his various attributes? thanks.
He's a pacey and skilful player. Tends to start wide and cut in, loves running at players. For his age and size he has really good strength and decent football IQ. He seems to also have a good head on his shoulders but at this age it is easy to get side-tracked when you are getting everything so fast.
It was a disgrace he wasn't getting more time for the Socceroos who really needed goals. Kruse was awful and whenever Arzani would come on he'd literally create chances immediately.
As for now, he is hot potential but he has to keep getting better and if he does he could play for the biggest clubs in England eventually. Not sure he will make Man City's grade as they generally have an uber-high bar but it's not totally farfetched at the moment. He needs to play at this level and get his fitness too - heck, he hasn't even played long at A-League level.
Damn man, couldn't you have somehow sent him some subliminal messages to play for TM...
This guy is more Iranian than I am in terms of where he has been born and his early childhood....
CQ has managed to get a good number of players from the diaspora to play for TM, more than we could have ever hoped before, but this is the only one (of significance) he missed out on
I think he and his family are smart enough to know playing for Australia is a far better route into football than Iran. My cousin knows him pretty well, I don't, and spent the WC following TM and Australia.
