I remember the Bagheri signing well - it was met with near euphoria from Iranians in London & beyond - he was the greatest thing since sliced bread etc etc etc
Played 45 minutes at Portman Road & that was it.
Proud to say i was there that day, i thought he actually looked quite decent................but he never played again!
A good player, skillfull and can score goals. May lack match fitness, but was a real prospect few years back. I rate him very highly still, just has a better player in front of him at Liege. He would be the ideal strike partner for Kermo...
Won't be fit for a whole match for at least a month.
Why? If he's training with the first team and playing reserves, should be match fit maybe not sharp. I don't believe he's carrying injury, just their other strikers are very effective.
He's apparently played really well for the Iranian national team, 6 goals in 6 consecuteive important matches. He's been a big part of Iran's qualification to the World Cup

So with this and Parzysek looks like goobye to Kermy. Glad to be seeing new blood and I hope the sadness at seeing Kermogant leave doesn't overshadow their welcome.
I have seen the Iranian club teams on TV playing in the Asian Champions League, they have some very fine technical players, really skilful - but that's very different to English football.
Just been talking to an anglo-iranian workmate. When I said we've signed Goochy his reaction was positive and I mean VERY positive. Goochy is a real hero in Iran, apparently, and my mate was, to be honest, surprised that he'd gone to us as he thought he would have aimed higher.
Incidentally, he reckons the name is pronounced like they are two words - i.e. Ghoochan and Nejhad and that the 'jh' is like the 'ch' in 'loch', but the 'Gh' at the beginning is a bit harder, so more like a cross between a 'ch' from 'loch' and a 'K'.
I said we'll probably just call him Goochy and my mate thought that was fair enough!
Edit - they're also talking about Seb Lewis and the worm, amazing!!
Quote from persianfootball.com
Charlton Athletic has scored the LEAST number of goals than any team in the Championship, just 22 goals in 24 games! Even Mes Kerman would be embarrassed by such a statistic. Their two leading scorers are a 32 yr old Frenchman named Yan Kermogant (5 goals in 22 games) and some Welch dude named Simon Church (4 goals in 26 appearances).
The reason I bring all that up is to demonstrate the point that Reza could be the missing piece of the puzzle. He has an outstanding opportunity ahead of him to provide a goal-scoring touch that the team is in desperate need of. If he can seize his moment and score goals consistently for Charlton in the manner he has for TM, we will undoubtedly make a name for himself in England and set himself up for a great World Cup.
And as we all know, when Reza gets playing time ... all he does is score goals.

Interesting. Iran international @gh_reza joins Charlton. He's a poacher with good finishing. Best striker since Daei. Could be a surprise
