Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee I agree… i was one of the few here wanting him to keep his place in the team after that little run he started. Very strange to drop him after that. Probably one of the more odd decisions I’ve seen by GP in his time here (IMO of...

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee Absolutely. For one reason or another he’s a transfer flop… it happens for various reasons. And to good players sometimes even. But certainly not due to lack of attitude or professionalism. Like you I remember that day when he...

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee Long term savings on his contracted wages must be huge though. A huge financial boost for the club for him to go. I do agree with a number of comments above, really a terrific pro with a great attitude. He had some great cameos...

This. A huge plus to reduce our wage bill (to hopefully put towards another player). Lovely guy. I think all of us wanted AJ to succeed, but it’s never quite happened. Rarely made an impact from the bench last season. We can put Khadra or another u23 player in his place and he’d be as good if...

This is a forum. People will discuss which players they think aren’t good enough and as long as it’s professional and about their ability there’s nothing wrong with that. Do you have a problem with the Locadia, Maupay or Connolly threads for example? In elite football there is little room for...

I think you misunderstand me. I’m suggesting that we have talent coming through that deserves to be involved in the match day squad and make the bench if not the team. AJ is taking one of those spots. Next season I’d like to see the likes of Khadra get a chance on the bench. Some players need...

I’m more thinking ahead to next season. Presumably we’ll be looking at promoting an u23 or two to the senior squad. Either way there’ll be churn. Players going out, players going in.

And there lies the rub. We have talent coming through. And lots of it. Unfortunately we can’t be a charity at elite level. I think this is a more prolonged conversation as pretty much all of us recognise and like AJ as a great guy and pro. But Khadra, Taylor Richards, Zequiri, MacAllister...

He’s been brilliant in his last couple of cameos so fair play for fighting back into the team. Big chance for him today, go AJ [emoji119]

Nice bit of skill AJ [emoji108] 1390204936261095426

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee Definitely a bit of this. And fair play, why not.. AJ is a great pro, sportsman and character. Lots to like. He’ll have all our best wishes if he goes. I’ve seen all of AJs appearances at the Amex. You can definitely see he has...

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee I totally agree with you that it was baffling why AJ was dropped, just after it looked like he turned a corner with goals vs Bournemouth and Chelsea. I don’t understand what happened there and I said so at the time, I was...

He played pretty well when he came on last night, one of the few to bust a gut in the final third. Have to give him that.

Without Connolly on the bench what other options were there. Tau or Zequiri. I’d go for Tau personally. But it’s not a big deal.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee Fair enough! Out of interest do you not rate any of these? Maupay Mac Allister Lamptey Webster Bissouma Gross Tross

Fair.. it’s not super comprehensive and making some speculative guesses. But does show by and large we’ve recruited well.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee Recruitment have done some incredible business that shouldn’t be overlooked. Good - excellent : Maupay Mac Allister Lamptey Webster Bissouma Gross Tross And likely: Moises and the Poles All solid buys, good value, high...

Sure Hughton would have been happy to bring him in and leave him in the reserves for 6 months before playing.

You can blame Apple’s auto correct for that one [emoji1]

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee I used to think this too, but I think AJ has had chances given to him by Potter this season. But when it counted he went missing. Or largely anonymous. Started up front home to Arsenal, nothing. Home to Sheff Utd (or Saints)...
