Comments: The two obstacles Milan must overcome to unblock Taremi dealMore information continues to filter regarding what is holding up the negotiations between AC Milan, Porto and Mehdi Taremi’s entourage. As of yesterday evening it seemed as though Milan had finally wrapped up a deal for the Iranian striker after days of negotiations, but then later in the night it emerged that some rather large obstacles had presented themselves. According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, there are a couple of issues that the deal hinges on, starting with the fact that Taremi has no intention of accepting the salary offer of €1.5m net per season. Then there is the commissions of the deal. The player has decided to rely on an agent who is very close to FC Porto and thus asked for higher commissions. Therefore, the current state of play is that the Taremi operation is one that has become ‘complicated’ and given the limited time left in the window, it remains to be seen if it can be unblocked.
Comments: Good morning all. Zinsky, as you'd know it's called divide and conquer. I just found out that Mohsen Zamani passed away. He was from my hometown and his parents lived two doors away from ours. He would make frequent visits to Kermanshah. One time he refereed a game in Khosro Parviz stadium and I was there in the crowd. At half time he put up a show with an amazing ball control. As a kid I was thinking how a referee can do all that!
Comments: Looks like Taremi deal is falling apart. Taremi to Milan almost off – ‘Everyone wanted to dip their spoon into the cookie jar’ As the hours pass, it becomes more and more clear what has happened to make the deal that would see Mehdi Taremi join AC Milan collapse. According to MilanNews, yesterday’s difficulties between the two clubs – with Porto having changed the economic conditions of the deal – had been overcome but it is those with the agents and intermediaries of the operation that are bringing the negotiations towards a dead end. Jorge Mendes, Alireza Nikoomanesh and Pedro Pinto of Empower Sport have made very high financial demands for their commissions. The way that the report puts it is as follows: “Basically, everyone wanted to dip their spoon into the cookie jar.” In other words, every party involved wanted a slice of the money. This sudden change in the situation – after being one step away from closing the deal – has greatly irritated Milan, who continue to work on potential other options. If no other target emerges within a few hours, Milan would find themselves forced to block Lorenzo Colombo’s move to Monza.
Comments: kAmkAr, I always had a hard time with jokes and BS regarding different Iranian ethnic groups. From Turks to Kurds to Isfahanies to Rashti to others. Even as a kid, I could find the jokes funny. These days, these groups are being used as a way to separate the nation. I’m sure there are small groups who want separation but most that I know of are proud Iranians hoping for better Iran as a whole.
Comments: Shahin, “You should have upgraded just for yourself” I was not ready to spend the rest of my life in Europe YET! 😎
Comments: The most interesting thing about Taremi playing Milan is that he would potentially pair up with American captain Pulisic upfront in Milan forward line.
Comments: Shahin, only those who are IRI sympathizers.
Comments: Considering the slow nature of negotiations with Porto, many are starting to wonder why Milan are so intent on signing Taremi. One reason is their obvious need for a striker. Stefano Pioli’s only reliable goalscorer front is the 36-year-old Olivier Giroud, who saw over 3200 minutes of action last term. Whilst Milan did spend around €15m total for Noah Okafor, the 23-year-old has never been a particularly prolific centre forward, netting just 34 goals across 110 games for RB Salzburg. Internationally, he’s scored twice in 14 caps. The same cannot be said about Taremi. The Iranian found the back of the net 31 times in 51 games last season, managing to provide 14 assists as well. Not only is the 31-year-old able to regularly make the difference in front of goal himself, he’s also able to provide strong setups for his teammates. Another attractive aspect of a deal is the transfer market landscape. In recent years, reliable strikers have become something of a hot commodity, visible with deals like Manchester United’s €85m total acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund. For Milan, the chance to sign a proven striker for less than €20m is a bargain, especially as they look to take back the Scudetto from Napoli after their disappointing fourth-place finish last season.
Comments: Kamkar: who bad mouthed Kurds?
Comments: Zinsky:
You should have upgraded just for yourself ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Comments: Farzad, I traveled with family. Paying $1,000 per person to upgrade was too much. The seats in economy were fine but I hated the wait and lines.
Comments: Zinsky. I actually travelled from JFK to Lisbon. Was like a 6-7 hours of flight. I do fly business class if I fly international. I no longer can fly economy more than 6 hours. You can always buy economy ticket and at the counter you can ask if they are offering Business class seats. Normally at the check in counter you pay a 1000 extra and you upgrade. Cheaper this way. Prem economy is good too I guess. To iran, I have to change plane in either Frankfurt or Vienna. 14-16 hours even in business class is too much. Qatar and Emirates have the best business class. The good thing about these two is that you can sleep and at anytime you can order food from the menu.
Comments: The worse part of traveling is the airport/airlines. They are not what they used to be. Everything takes longer and it’s less fun. A 6 hour flight will end up being 12. Food and service are average at best. Of course, age is another factor. Running from gates to gates is tad easy as it was. Either way, I’m back home after an amazing trip but the flight back drained me. I need a long nap…
Comments: A random comment. Anybody who claims or accuses that the Kurds are separatists must be a A-hole, A SOB and a parasite. I could have used other words to define them but I stop there.
Comments: AEK’s coach is Almeida famous Argentine player/coach. He coached San Jose Earthquakes coach last few years and he was simply horrible and was fired |
