Ando on the move

Midfielder Anderanik Teimourian who made a name for himself during Iran’s disastrous World Cup campaign in Germany is leaving his EPL club Bolton Wanderers at the end of the season.

Ando, as he is known by Team Melli fans, is one of the nicer guys who has put the TM colors on in recent years. Too bad things did not work for him there, but I think he is good enough to land somewhere in one of the European top leagues.

The fast pace of the EPL does not make it a good choice for Iranian players who are used to playing a turtle-pace game. The fact that Ando lasted there for two years is a testament to his commitment and professionalism. But he should sign with a club where he can get on the pitch more often.
