Was pretty evident with Aziz Behich in some of our recent matches, God knows how many times he busted his ass to make a intelligent forward run only to be ignored for the safe option.

that article says he moved here when he was 6.
Back to the actual point of this thread.
I have no idea how people can seriously think Arzani deserves a move above the A league. He hasn't even established himself in this league. He is a level below Joey Champness and we don't even rate him as a starter.
Joey's stats 2017/18 were 25 games, 5 goals and 2 assists.
Arzani's stats 2017/18 were 16 games, 2 goals and 2 assists.
So Champness played in a team that finished higher in the league, had more of an offensive impact and played more minutes than Arzani. No one even thinks he will be a starter next year. Yet people from this forum think Arzani has the potential to play in Europe??? Give me a break.
He's way too old for an academy, but he is too young to make an impact in a first team in a higher league, so someone please tell me why a move to anywhere else would be a good move for him? Other than so I don't have to ever hear about him again...
Pretty sure one of Arzani's goals was a pen as well.
I mean, I hope he goes on to be successful, scores a shitload of goals for Australia and plays for a big club.
It’d be great for any Australian to do so.
I think most people on here, are being sarcastic, or just genuinely think he’s not as good as they were making out.
Making out he is the saviour of our national team, next Kewell etc. it doesn’t do him any favours. Let the guy play. And see what comes of it.
As Frodo points out, Champness has much better stats. Not as man crossovers though.
But hell, if I had one of em running through 1 on 1 with a keeper, I know who I’d rather.

any word on his decision on whether he's going to Juventus or Man City? or is he holding out for the inevitable offers from Bayern, Real Madrid or Barcelona?
On the BBC Football website
Scottish champions Celtic hope to secure the loan signing of 19-year-old Australia midfielder Daniel Arzani after he completes his permanent move to Manchester City from partner club Melbourne City. (Scottish Sun)
career suicide
We all know what people think of aussie players that score goals in the SPL.
Can't wait to see the inevitable season long loan move from Blackburn Rovers to Wollongong Wolves in 4 years time when he doesn't get a look in at Ernie Merricks world cup squad. Champness will inevitably be captain and scoring goals in the UCL for the Jets.
Officially signed for Man City today
Pretty good outcome for the young guy.
Nothing compared to when Madrid come looking for Joey though! Can see the headlines “more goals, game time and assists than Australian Ronaldo”
In all seriousness, Goodluck to him. Genuinely hope he can form some kind of partnership with Rogic and gets plenty of game time. Which I think he should? It’s a pretty good league to be able to give game time to younger players, especially if you are Celtic.
Hoping he saves some goals for the National Team and doesn’t use all his good goals domestically like Rogic does.
