There is going to be enough time to dissect our exit and to lay blame all across the board. But I thought this could be a good thread. Who do you think should be headed out of Team Melli on the player front and who do you see as the players to lead the team towards the WC in 2010. I dont think we have much time to mess about and we should go straight to the drawing board.
For my two cents, straight from the next match that Team Melli makes we should be planning for 2010. Im dividing things into five groups and you should put the players you think should go into each one.
Definitely Out
Ali Karimi (stopping the talents of Mobali who is no longer a baby, and Shojaei)
Rahman Rezaei (he retired himself didnt he)
Should be Slowly Phased Out
Mehdi Mahdavikia (Not irreplaceable anymore, Kaabi and Kazemian need to play)
Vahid Hashemian (Its a shame that even when out of form he is still our best)
Enayati (not Team Melli material, never was and wont be now that he is 31)
Key Men for the New Era
Nekounam
Ando
Kaabi
Shojaei
Mobali
Kazemian
Talebloo
Nosrati
Hosseini
Jabbari (pre-injury form)
Give Them A Chance Dammit
Maziar Zare'e
Meysam Maneie
Dejaghah
Shapourzadeh
