Bochum official doubtful on Hashemian`s return

IRNA - A top VfL Bochum official voiced deep skepticism on being able to sign up Bayern striker Vahid Hashemian
again, saying the west German club cannot afford to pay the high transfer sum.
Speaking with the sports weekly Sport Bild on Wednesday, Bochum board member Dieter Meinhold admitted it would be `very difficult` to get the Iranian player back again.
"By no means can we buy Vahid," said Meinhold who held talks with Bayern Munich manager Uli Hoeness on a potential Hashemian transfer three weeks ago.
Hashemian was a fan favorite in Bochum during the 2003/4 season, scoring 16 goals in 32 matches.
The former Pas forward who has also been linked to fellow Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin, has failed to make an impact at Bayern Munich after his 2 million euro transfer from Bochum last summer.
Hashemian has yet to score a goal for Bayern and has only played in three of Bayern`s 13 Bundesliga games so far this season.
