ok....if u guys recall, they tried to force him on Branko too in the 2006 WC but at the end, did not happened.
I am not sure, but I heard from my German friends that his dad used to play in Iran and that's y they r trying to get him play for TM...
I don't think he can help our team at all, reason ....
He played German style
we play...ALI ASGHARI FOOTBALL

he is going to watch his leg and not play 100% for team melli...just like other PRO PLAYER...
compare Shojaie before going to Osasona and now

or Kia, when he played for Hamburg
and to be honest, I would have done the same...my club pays my bill, TM creates HEADACHE
as for airport problems and so on....I do not believe it for second...I go Iran very often and saw worst than his style...nothing happened to people at airport...maybe on the up town tehran...but not at the airport
cannot believe it.
Iranetehhhhh
