Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome. I feel like an adopted child who just got new parents 
I’m already planning what I like to call a New York City detox and get out of here for a bit in October and will aim to visit my uncle in Brighton the week of 10/6 to make it to the game vs West Ham.
Don’t mean to get too off topic here but since we’re on the subject of Iranians....for those of you Brighton scouts here keep a close eye on 2 players: Morteza Pouraliganji and also Saeid Ezatolahi.
Not sure how highly regarded Ian Darke is in England (in USA he’s like a god for us to listen to so we don’t have to hear voices like Alexi Lalas) but he was full of praise for Pouraliganji during the World Cup calling him one of the best center backs of the group stage. During World Cup qualifiers Pouraliganji shut down Son Heung Min and also was our best player contributing to our qualification before conceding a single goal.
Ezatolahi is interesting too for you guys because similar to AJ he is young (even a few years younger), big, strong, and fearless. He’s similar to your own Biram Keyal (who I’ve watched since his days at Celtic when I had an Israeli room mate watching all of his games) but I’d say has a much more dangerous shot on him and a much more commanding presence on the part of the pitch that needs it the most in the defensive midfield position. I bet he wouldn’t cost more than a few million pounds.
