Everyone is saying Crespo or Del Piero, but Karimi is a heck of alot better choice for Franchise player and he's only 30 years old. So my question to you is why not Karimi???? Start the discussion, why not Karimi?
Yes!
Nope!

Ali Karimi for DP!
I'd rather have DeRo
because i've never heard of him, upon researching him he doesn't have a very impressive playing history at the club level(not bad internationally) and we dont need another midfielder
Shags , one more to add to the list.
and quite frankly, we don't need another poll for DP speculation!Originally Posted by justin
why can't we just chill out and wait to see what the team does... and then react to it?
I just watched a short documentary about him, I like him alot as a player but he doesn't have the name recognition that teams (or their marketing departments) like to have in a DP. Blanco coming to the league caused excitement, Beckham coming to the league caused excitement, people will go ape-shit crazy if Del Piero comes to the league...Karimi's arrival would hardly be noticed within footy circles and would be ignored by the sports media at large. Having said that, he'd help our team significantly and would be among the best players in the league.
Then your opinion doesn't matter because of your obvious lack of knowledge.
awww, someone's panties are in a twist
only in MLS do people say "he's only 30".

Don't really know the guy so I couldn't vote on him either way. Though that fact in itself isn't all that favourable for him. I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt though - that means a short trip to wikipedia and youtube for me.

Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
He's a good player but probably falls into the "not marquee/goal productive" enough for a dp, not cheap enough to fit the regular salary cap.
I will see you all next spring, i can't go through another off season of guessing and speculation.....especially when we are polling on players like michael owen coming to toronto fc as DP!
I agree with flatpicker, just wait and see.
He was basically Munich's super-sub, the first guy off the bench when one of their super-star mids got tired. He got the occasional start there too - pretty impressive considering the regular starters at the time included Ballack, Hargreaves, Ze Roberto etc.
I have seen him play about 40 games when he is on he is 1000 times better than DeRo. He never had 100% chance with munich. WIth the IRANIAN national team he has personnel problems with IRAN'S SUPER STAR TURNED COACH ALI DAEI.He can be asuper star in the MLS no problem. And he is better < in my mind > than balanco .Will he sell extra tickets or jersies in the MLS ???? I dont think so
and quite frankly, we don't need another poll for DP speculation!

agree
As ever, the flat picker man speaks words of wisdom. There are thousands of these polls we could start, all utterly pointless unless there's reasonable cause to think TFC are chasing someone.and quite frankly, we don't need another poll for DP speculation!

Relax, go down the Beer Store and wait until April. Then we can all go f'ing nuts again.

anyone else remember the Jesus for DP thread? that was awesome.
I'll put this one under 'unconfirmed/no source'
^ How about 'pure speculation/wish list'.
^^ or just "completely pointless crap, again"

Ali Karimi's agent, is that you?
Poll:
Should this useless thread be closed:
Yup!
Nope!

Yes, and all other pointless threads/polls like it.

Or put another way, if you're going to do wild speculation, at least make it funny....and quite frankly, we don't need another poll for DP speculation!

Actually, i would love to see him as DP and for once it's actually not that far fetched. There's been way worse speculation threads than this one so why is everyone so up in arms?
^Agreed. I can actually see this happening if MLSE showed interest and he would definitely be a good buy. I love DeRo and all but if you think he is better than Ali Karimi, then I would say you are either delusional or not very knowledgeable.
