Market

Luis Sandoval asks to leave Siah Jamegan

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Siah Jamegan sell Saeid Taremi for $650.0K

Saeid Taremi has left for Esteghlal in a $650.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Pejman Yazdani attracts admirers

The name of Pejman Yazdani has come up in conversations Siah Jamegan were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Siah Jamegan lose Ahmad Torabi

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Esteghlal Ahvaz are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Siah Jamegan will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Karim Noorafkan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Morteza Beiranvand gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Aref Gholami asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Morteza Beiranvand loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Morteza Beiranvand. Siah Jamegan will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Loan watch

Ramin Hosseini has seen enough of Naft Tehran

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Siah Jamegan, and 0 appearances in 25 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Vahid Mohammadi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Siah Jamegan and Esteghlal Ahvaz take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Sardar Ebrahimi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Loan watch

Ahmad Rezaeian keeps scoring at Naft Tehran

23 appearances away from home and 5 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Luis Bonilla has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Luis Bonilla keeps the shirt for now, at Siah Jamegan's convenience rather than his own.

Squad

Awad Aman has taken the shirt

At 22 he is in the side on merit and somebody else is watching from the bench. Places at Siah Jamegan are won quietly and lost loudly.

Market

Siah Jamegan bring in Waleed Al-Shanqeeti on loan

A season-long audition: Al-Ra'ed still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Siah Jamegan's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Market

Carlos Cruz joins Siah Jamegan on a free

No fee and no drama: Carlos Cruz has signed at Siah Jamegan, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.
